My Black Mottled
rooster, Pappy, I got at Maud. I got him to improve the type of my Mille Fleurs.
The Blue Mottled pullet that came with him. I sure didn't "need" a Blue but she is so pretty and sweet.
I got everyone snugged down early tonight. The wind has picked up and it feels like a storm is on the way. I didn't have much time to draw today, but I did doodle some sunflowers, so I think maybe one part of the garden I put on my beehive will have singing sunflowers. I need to figure out what to do about the bottom portion of the image. I know blue sky works well to offset the flower heads, but the ground is still a problem. I cut away the parts I didn't like. Maybe what the ground needs is brown dirt and bunches of red strawberries.
A little bantam NN chick that we got from the trio that came from Ed Hayworth. Are they not just the cutest little things?

I so glad to hear that your Cochin girl is doing better. My 2 girls with the "sniffles" are doing better too. i don't think I want to hatch chicks so late this year. The younger ones seem to have a hard time in the colder weather. It wasn't really my idea, it was the hen's, I just didn't steal the eggs and now I have 4, 4 mo. old Mille Fleurs cochins and 1 Partridge Cochin.Hello Everybody!!!
Well tomorrow is Wednesday which means it is only three days til the weekend. Thank goodness, I am really thinking Spring Break cannot get here soon enough.
My cochin hen that had to spend a few days in the house to get over her ickyness seems to be doing well now she is back in the yard. Girls are still laying, and I have now 6 dozen eggs. Next week is going to be egg week. Think I am going to make quiche, egg salad, and maybe breakfast burritos. Yummy!!!!
So who is going to Blanchard this Saturday?? I think it would be a wonderful way to spend a Saturday evening. Plus I would like some nachos.Still looking for LF cochins, need three roosters and 4 more hens.
Well it is time to head to bed. Hope everyone has a good night!!!
