***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[BBAcres]

Yay! I was hoping it was a boy. Now I can come up with a name to fit. lol. The lavender has no tail. Neither do my blues upstairs. But the other two white ones and the black one upstairs have tails just like his.

Good evening bycers, all is well at the farm again. The new replacement chicks i got from mj's neighbor jack are doing well, ive hatched out lots of my bantam ameraucanas and the garden is doing even better then expected. Also, i am within days of opening my new store in the choctaw plaza. I am going to be picking veggies first thing in the morning and setting up at the store at 10am if anyone wants to stop by and get some.

Do you have any Bok Choy? I should have got some at POOPS. I have been craving it ever since.
+ Want to part with any of those Ameraucanas or some of their eggs?

My Dark Brahma girls and my Lavenders don't have tails yet either lol They look hilarious, they're all the same age as yours, too.
I think it's probably different lines of birds. Because my 6 day old Gold Laced Cochins have longer wing feathers already than my 3 wk old Silver Laced Cochin from completely different lines.

Ok, Brandi-I opened the picture in a new tab and it showed a super clear closeup. This is a single comb and not a pea comb. That along with no beard/muff and yellow legs would indicate it's definitely not an Ameraucana. Ams have Blue or Slate (gray) colored legs. Look at the Lavenders and you can see it. This one looks like a Bantam Leghorn. But I've never had a Leghorn and haven't studied them so I may be way off on that one.
Here's the close up. I'm still sticking to "boy", too He's really really pretty though.

8 weeks??? I agree boy and not Ameraucana or EE.

 

[mjgigax]

Yes that's them! I am on the website now looking at photos of Ameraucanas.

If you got then from Jack they are from eggs he bought, not his own birds. Chicks from his pen are definately all bearded, dark legged and Blue, Black or Splash. His roo and 5 hens are Blue and one hen is a Splash. - they are my favorite of all his birds. The roo is one of the prettiest I have ever seen.

I keep thinking it's June???

I don't know exactly how old they are. I got them on Easter and they couldn't have been more than a week old.

update on FIL, keep praying, it is colon cancer, but the dr didn't think it is life threatening, they caught it early, maybe the size of a pea, he'll go in monday for pre op tests- stress tests- so keep him and all of the family in prayer

took some pics of the kids... this is one of the fav boys, always wanting to be with people, even after they have been moved outside...


mj, here is one of your hens- she is so darn sweet- and one of the babies- big difference in personality between her and licorice, the cochin broody that took notes from nana's nasty nelly- i don't think this girl has a mean bone in her body

Wow, she has great coloring and good type too. I'm glad you got her. I love my hens, such personalities!
I have met Nasty Nellie and when she is not broody she is another chicken; a sweet girl. She is like Jeckel and Hyde!

 

[NanaKat]

I have squash,zucchini,potatoes,carrots,onions,beets, chard,bok choy,radishes,herb boxes, tomato plants in hangin baskets, chicken,duck,and quail eggs, and lots of pork meat from my pigs.

m.ruzychi Wonderful variety! Will you do special orders? Like if I need a bushel of beets to pickle?

 

[Cjarvis]

Hello Nana, I was looking for you... I sent you a PM.

Robin - keeping your FIL and family in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

BBacres - your birds are pretty no matter what they are.

I've always liked solid white birds. I had a very large White Plymouth Rock rooster for awhile that was absolutely gorgeous. Since he crowed VERY loudly, I had to rehome him. He, along with another rooster, went to the yard guys I had at the time, in trade for some yard work they did for me. I miss that rooster. His name was Bubba.






I haven't seen any more clumps of tissue since the one the other day. That was a really strange thing to see come out the rear end of my hen, and even stranger that it happened right in front of me. It makes me wonder what happens when I'm not looking.
