Huntseat are you going to poops? I am going to bring some up there to sell or swap.

No,sadly I can't.

It being fathers day weekend and all. It's a day drive there and back for me. Hoping for a more central location in the future.

I have 4 americauna/rir mix roosters. I promised my kids I would try to get rid of them before they went to freezer camp. Free, in Luther. Anyone?

Hey fellow POOPS attendees! I've got your food contributions down if you have pm'd me or have noted it on the FaceBook page. Will post an updated sheet tonight.

Ooooohhh! I love that coop with the hardware cloth! He looks like he's strutting lol At least your girls sit on golf balls, mine puff up and sit on nothing. One of my Cochin girls did sit on a t-shirt for a month though. She's convinced it hatched. I'm glad you like the babies. They're one of my favorite breeds and this guy has really healthy big ones.He's selling his adults so this was my last chance to get chicks from him.

Thankies, it's the only coop w/hardware cloth. I worry about and tend to baby the silkies just a lil bit lol. My standard hens have that 2x4 welded wire fencing on their run. I used to free range the standard girls, but they get into everything so I've been pasturing them and it's working out great. They get grass and bugs and I can still have my herb spiral and potted plants and I don't have to fence the garden in.

I have one that sits on nothing too hahaha. They're so goofy. I like that they're being broody though. I think it's a good trait to have in my flock. I let em hatch out babies then after the babies are about 3 days old I take all but 2 in the house to raise them myself. I leave her with 2 so she can 'mother' them and I raise the rest so they're friendly and a lot of the times i don't know if it's because I left them with mother for a few days or if it's in the genes but the babies grow up to be broodies!

I'm already in love with the rooster and the Ameraucana babies. I was wanting to quarantine the roo, but I ended up putting him right in with the girls last night. Hopefully everything will be okay.

He's wing dancing for them and being such a gentleman. They haven't crouched for him yet. I don't care if he doesn't ever breed them. He's just such a nice boy and I'm happy to have him here.

What a handsome guy! And sweet too. He must be so happy!
And those babies are beautiful!

He's so very sweet. I took him in the house with me when I got home and sat him on my lap for a bit and he just sat there and let me pet him. He was trying to hide his face in the towel he was on. I guess he thought I was another rooster or something. And the babies... omg so much cuteness I can barely stand it. So in love with Ameraucanas now.. thanks to Mitzi lol

A few more pics from tonight.





Go ahead touch them, I double dog dare you!




The whole crew

These are so gorgeous.... I might just have to add some naked necks into the flock next year. What a great momma she is. I've actually been thinking about adding them for a year or two. I like that a lot of people say they're very calm and friendly. The only thing that's kept me from getting some is that I'm a little worried about the young cockerels hurting the girls when they start mating cause they have no neck feathers

Our school mascot is a hornet. Something close to this image will work. We also use the letter H and our mascot name, like the second image.

OK, the closest logo I can find is:

A custom digitized design based on what you gave as reference pictures will run around $35-$60 for just the design. Depending on the number of shirts you want made, I'm not sure this is economical. My work per shirt is $10 each. Adding all this up might be cost prohibitive.

Let me know if you'd like me to proceed, the digitizers I use are in Tulsa and have a 24 hour turn around on their computer/art work. They do amazing work, I have used them before and the stitch-outs are amazing.

Here is some of their work in an 8X8 area.


This was the central quilt square that I made for a cancer patients quilt, the work was commissioned by her friends and all the squares were quilted by family. I was honored to part of this project!

Let me know...

My kids favorite breakfast. Fried quail egg sandwiches. They only get them once a week because it takes 5 eggs a sandwich but they are very good
