Check out this egg one of our hens laid today! It weighed 4.2 ounces. The two beside it weighed 2 oz. 4 oz is half a cup right? And I have big hands by the way. Size 12 foot.

Definitely add me to the 'weird' group. But then most people here have that one figured out already. As I got older I realized it was severe introversion, which I've come to accept and appreciate. I'm literally never bored, I don't even understand the feeling when people talk about being 'bored'. Only extroverts get bored, introverts have the best of the whole world right inside their own heads. People always think I'm stuck-up (heard that all my life) or mad, abrupt or don't want to talk to them. Never true, it's just that my head is filled with so many different things to think about that I don't always even see other people.
There were LF Favs at the auction?! Good thing I didn't go or I'd have come home with birds with no place to put them :-D

Me too! little did they know how insecure I was.
I can entertain myself all day, in fact not enough time to get it all done.
Normal is boring.

I think the Fav.s went fro 38.00 ea. for a pair and the extra roo went for 28.00 - both roos had HUGE beards- biggest beards I have ever seen on any bird.
There was a cage of very large Buff Orpingtons - all roos that created a bidding war, the first and second boys went for close to 35.00 ea. That is a lot for a solo rooster.
There was a Splash Blue Orpington roo and 2 Blue hens - beautiful! I left before they sold though. Wonder what they went for.
We wanted to stay longer but the cold was getting to our aches and pains.

That poor hen!

Yow!

Give her my congrats, lol!

I'm not really sure which hen laid that one. Came from my layer flock. Probably a golden comet though. Keep looking for one to be waddling around funny but most are just hanging in the coop today.

Next time I am paying more attention, if its too cold to really look at the bird line up. I swear I would have taken those faverolles home last night if I would have been more prepared. Even though they went really high they were nice looking birds.

I am so glad you all are such an active bunch. I didn't get on the computer Friday and caught up last night but didn't get a chance to post. Get on today and still have to catch up. LOL
ACtually it's great. I love reading everyone's posts.
Kass, as usual I can't think of a word good enough for your pics. Have you ever thought of entering any of them in photography contests?
Also, I'm glad everyone is in my weird category. I don't feel so alone.
I just finished making my bunch of fluffy butts a couple of big pots full of rice. I don't know if cooked rice is their fav. or scrambled eggs, so they get both tonight along with some pecan and mixed with red and chili pepper.

Well, I'm probably going to have to get on the geese forum. Never been there, but I have a dilemma which I find a little disconcerting. One of my ganders, Huey (named Baby Huey, for those of you who are old enough to remember him), has decided to chose me as his mate.

Over a month ago, he started leaving the others when I came out and would come up to me. I'd pet him and he seemed happy, and would go off with the others, every day he'd spend more and more time with me, and when he heard my voice would leave the others and follow me everywhere. Well, since I had lost Little Britches, I just thought I had a new side kick. One day, after feeding, I was sitting down and he was nuzzling my leg and tried to crawl up in my lap. I picked him up and set him on my lap. He starting nibbling me again and was giving me soft little kisses. Then he acted like he wanted to get on my shoulder. I put him down and he spread his wings and tried to hump my leg like a dog. Hubby was there and I said, " Do u think what I'm thinking?" He agreed, so I pushed Huey away. He immediately took after hubby, who thought it was funny. Well, now, every time he acts like that, I push him away, and he immediately becomes disgruntled and goes after whatever is closest to me, whether, it's hubby or another animal.
Yesterday, hubby and I were winterizing one of the coops even more, and Huey was still my side kick as usual.
I sat down to rest on the garden ledge, which isn't very tall, and before I knew it, Huey, had jumped up on my lap, got on my back, and started nibbling me on the head. He had scratched me, getting up there, and had his claws dug into me. Hubby, about rolled over, laughing.

I told him that this was so NOT cool and to please get him off of me.

When he got him down, I said, please don't tell me his umm was out. He said, not yet. I sighed in relief. Well, there u have it. It's hard to even go outside late at night, to check on anything, because he starts honking for me, and I have dreams the neighbors will get my geese if they are noisy at night.

Oh, by the way, hubby did agree that it wasn't cool, and apologized for laughing so hard. He said, it was just the look on my face and Huey's. The moment.. So now, I need to let Huey know that I am not his mate without him getting hurt, emotionally or physically. (That's right, I said emotionally). Remember, not normal. I would like some input, from any of you out there that know much about geese. I hate, never being on the geese forum and starting out with this.
