I am thinking they are 3 boys? !!!!

Tracy, I found out today from DH that these were in Blanchard, not Edmond. But I am sure they are u pand over your way too. DH saw one chase a deer thru our yard about 6 years ago. Joe came right back inside and let the cat have the whole place for as long as he wanted.

I know I saw a pair in May 2011.

i think you are right- she is lonely- maybe get her a friend??

just got back from meeting mitzi who brought Ebony and JEt to me- my gosh they are smaller than a cockatiel!

*blink* *blink* ZOMG! Those are so cute!!!! I WANT!!

How are they doing, Robin?? They're both adorable but that little boy stole my heart. Such a sweetheart.
We tried to leave the Green Country Swap early enough to miss the storm but ended up driving through a bad part of it by the city. We drove out of it by the time we got home but it caught up to us 10 min later and is still raining pretty hard. MacGuyver, I can promise you that you wouldn't walk out of June's shop without a Serama

They're wonderful little birds!
At the Green Country Swap I did get 2 Frizzle Bantam Cochin pullets-a black and a Chocolate colored one. Oddest color. Also a what looks like a Bantam Cochin/Ameraucana mix, very pretty girl. All 3 are only about 4 months old it looks like. Since I hatched so many boys this summer I'm trying to load up on some girls for them. I won't mix birds from elsewhere with my special favorites that I hatched but I don't have a lot of options as far as finding girls for the extra boys so I'm going to have to just risk it.

Where is June's shop? I wanted to go to the swap meet but life happened.

Oklahoma Gardening on PBS is talking about green roofs that are sucessful here in OK on this wks episode. They gave the cost to be $10-$30 a sq ft & roofs can last as long as 60 yrs. Think the 60 yrs would be those fortunate to not get hit buy a major hail storm. I know several here have talked about experimenting with green roofs for their coops. Think you can view the episodes online - for those fortunate enough to have high speed Internet.
Think I need to find some new hobbies for all these sleepless nights- slept 3 hours. Tried crossword puzzles but griping onto a pen & concentrating on the puzzle was challenging. Reading at times reauires to much concentration. Typing takes much longer than it use to. Sewing & playing on my cricut are challenging. All the animals & family is asleep at night. Maybe I can get me a nocturnal pet, we have friends with sugar gliders (they smell awful). Guess I should google noctornial pets. Wonder if Hedge hogs smell bad?

How would a hail storm hurt a green roof? We get hail all the time, and it kills some grass, but I can't imagine that it's doing any other damage. Maybe I'm not thinking of the same thing you are?

Sorry about that, not being able to use your hands for stuff like that lets out a lot of hobby and fun stuff.

Check your area for a crocheting club (it is usually older ladies not sure how your daughter would respond to that) they would LOVE to teach a young one how to make stuff w/ crochet. I am self taught too. There are tons of books and the internet that has lots of tutorials, things that a young girl would like to do rather then the "Old lady crocheting" lol

I bet she would love amigurimi. It's making little dolls and stuff. I just saw an adorable set of Doctor Who amigurimi. They had a weeping angel, a dalek, and the Tenth Doctor.

Does anyone know if there's a name for the color of the fawn colored frizzle?

This girl here? She's just a blue, isn't she? I mean, she looks just like my Charley.



This picture looks a little yellow-ish because it's in the barn with the fluorescent light on.



This is her actual color.

This was a horrible, horrible weekend. So far, I'm not impressed with 2012. It can just get along with its rat killin'. Hubby had to be hospitalized for emergency surgery. He's fine now, recovering, but it was real scary. Check please, I'm done.

McG best wishes for DH. Hope for a speedy recovery.
On the hail with the roof top garden, we have hail storms that break out car windows & put holes through siding. Imagine a roof top garden could be smashed to smithereens. The hail storm this spring broke & destroyed every plant in my garden. Grass is made to be stepped on, but plants are not. Just my opinion, could be wrong.
Alexis would love for someone to show her more knitting & crochet type stuff, but she doesn't warm up to people easy. Bet she could learn alot from a few YouTube videos.
