Morning Robin.

How are you today?

 

[artsyrobin]

gonna go look for my MIA hen

, and then let the male dog run most the day and let the predators know he's around- like Cubans idea- other than that try to keep from building pens since my carpal tunnel has flared again...

sure puts a crimp in things! so what are your plans for the day?

 

[OkieChickenDad]

Well, we will never get eggs from anybody we dont know again...43 call duck eggs, candled at day 10...all but 12 yolkers. Candled at day 20 1 quitter. So 11 out of 43, odds went way down, way fast. If we get 1 duck I will be happy. Been a wild few weeks, cant wait for POOPS, but didnt see my name on the shirt list

About 45 miles south of Antlers on Hwy 271.

I didn't think I'd ever seen one in Antlers. Man now I want a dip cone!

Paint sound familiar

Im thinking he *may* be a calico..Since hes blue splash with splashes of red too?! Its pretty...but i dont think there is a calico gene...so if hes calico im sure its just some odd ball color, I suppose its what happens when you let them breed with just whomever....which im assuming thats what feed store chickens do. Who knows...I thought it was neat any-hoo. Hes the one im trying to find a home for. sweet lil guy! Maybe Betsy will know.

It looks like a splash, but with unusual coloring. Splashes are solid colored at hatch and develop the splashes as they mature. Calico is somewhat like a very brightly colored partridge with very light neck plumage. Paint is a newly-developing pattern; the black patches appear in the down at hatch. Interesting bird for sure.
