Matt, it was awesome meeting you and your birds!
You all, he's got some of the most beautiful birds I've ever seen! I got a Brazilian from him this morning that I'm just in awe of

This boy is just beautiful and so big. Like a baby dinosaur. What I didn't expect is how easy to handle he'd be, real docile once you're holding him. His neck is like a giraffe's and I love petting that long neck. I know these birds weren't bred to be babied and loved on but dang.....it's kind of hard to resist when he lets me do it lol
Matt also gave me the sweetest little Chocolate colored OEGB-I've never seen this color before and I love it. She's just adorable and she's going to fit in perfect with my other 4.
I am SO not done with these Brazilians, very impressive. I'll get pictures a little later when I get a chance

Thank you so much, Matt. I've truly met more nice people over chickens than any other animal I've been involved in.

It was a pleasure meeting you, and I'm glad you like them

I got to hold that one. About throwed out my back he was so heavy

He feels like a bowling ball.
 
Coral, I think you're right about the gender, but these silkies can surely surprise you.

I brood a lot of my tiny babes in this computer room behind me, and I've had at least three that crowed at TWO WEEKS. I'd never have heard it, nor recognized it as a first attempt at crowing if I hadn't been right in the room at the time. My husband has heard them also, and it is very funny. It sounds like they're choking on something. This is very unusual, but I promise, it does happen. Most of the time you don't hear them crow until around 5-6 months.

Teach, I can relate to that, I don't get sick just don't feel real good sometimes. then there are th etimes steph says I am sick and lets face it she is likely correct.

Well tonight i am going to take steph out for our aniversary, it is hard to believe she has put up with me for 15 years but she has so she really deserves a medal or congressional award or something real special but odds are she will get a dinner and the absolute pleasure of putting up with me even longer, like that is some kind of reward (for me maybe but for her its like a prison sentence I'm sure).

I wish everyone a merry christmas and safe travels during the holiday season. I am sure everyone has big plans for the coming week so be safe we don't want to loose any of our extended family.
