Picture overload time! Sorry in advance if you have a slow connection!! Isbar chicks, black, splash, blue This is the gold-laced brahma boy. On thinking more he is probably 5 months old, He was a warmer chick from PapaBrooder I think I got that order in October. A very pretty blue double-laced barnevelder getting ready to move to the adult pen. More of the brahma boy blue and splash double laced barnevelder pullets. I ordered 15 chicks from PapaBrooder and lost a few at about 3 months old to respiratory gunk during the cold, I've ended up with almost all pullets of the 6-7 I have left. Spitzhaben cockerel, this is from the eggs a very nice breeder gave me at the Shawnee show. I am 99% sure I got two cockerels and a pullet from the 3 eggs. Cream Legbar cockerel I am keeping for myself. THIS is Monstro and his girls. You can not believe the size this guy has without seeing him in person. SOLID orpington all the way! This is Goliath and one of his girls, they are Croad Langshans. Again the pictures do him no justice. He stands as high as my 6yo daughter's waist. The birds in the pen behind him are full grown large fowl Ameraucanas. I'm hoping he will fill in as he grows he is just a teenager so rather gangly. This is the Cream Brabanter rooster from the pair I got at auction. The hen is in a different pen. I'm pretty sure she's not laying yet which is odd because there was an egg in the cage at the auction. I'm guessing the seller put in an egg from another hen to show egg color and/or deceive on the age of the pullet. But comb and wattles say "not laying" and pelvis width says "not laying." At least that mean's she's young and not old and spent! This is Domino and his two girls. Exchequer Leghorn. And Merlin. He is such a handsome boy.

Your dog is so pretty!

Liver disease causes hemoragic bleeding out of all orifaces like eyes, and mucus areas like mouth and genitalia.

Some pics from tonight

Set 42 eggs tonight. ...now running three full...with a hatcher on the side....trying to catch up with hatch rates from last year. Wish the weather would cooperate....

At 7:30 p went out to fasten the fences on the fronts of the coop buildings and shut all the pop doors...three coyotes were just south of the fence behind the barn. Gracie, 10 year old Aussie Shep, was with me and she was behind the barn when the male started howling and calling her out. The females chimed in. Gracie came when I called her and the coyotes were more insistent. Had nothing to beat them off if they kept approaching so I screamed like a banshee and clapped my hands really loud. They quit howling and left...whew! I finished locking up the birds and checked the hen with the new babies...all is well in feather land.
