Lol I love all your smilies and I love how you didn't tell your husband

Sounds so like me! I don't have any plans to go back to Portland anytime soon so do you want to meet halfway? What would that be, Woodburn or a little north of there? One day next week is good. My son's birthday is Friday so I will be cleaning the house most of the week but I could take a morning off and meet you. Let me know what day works best! I'd like to get him to you as soon as possible so you can bond with him

Hmmm...I think CANBY is right in the middle there.....

Next week works. Let's see...um....Woodburn..is that where Fry's is? If it is, then I have been there. (lots) So that should be easy. But it isn't too far out of the way for you? Just give me a time, day and place; I'll be there.

Thanks.

Yeah, I get carried away with the smilies. I love'em! Wish I had them to use everywhere!

Facebook, email, etc....)

Nope, Fry's is in Wilsonville, that's about 10-15 minutes north of Woodburn.

Funny serama story.
Sounds silly,

but I take Frankie and Jonnie into the bathroom with me when I take a bath.

(There isn't any carpet in there, so they get to play without their having to wear diapers.) Well, last night, they were having a great ole' time and I thought that since they where distracted I had a chance to wash my hair.

I quess, they noticed I had stopped chatting. I was bent over rinsing my hair and they couldn't see me, Jonnie had decided she needed to 'look' for me.

She must have figured out in order to accomplish this action she would have to get over the top of the tub. While she took to the air, I set up. Scaring her,

she hollered, scaring me

! In the end, I got a face full of serama, and poor Jonnie got a bath!

(I thinked she actually liked it, after she calmed down!)

Right! Fry's in Wilsonvile. Woodburn? Oh! I know. The Outlet Mall is in Woodburn, correct? I don't know city names. I know the reasons I would be there!

Yep, that's it! LOL I love how all your "reasons" have to do with shopping!!!

Sounds like me!

 

[auntpa-k]

Of course!

But that was when I was working. Now that I'm not, I have plenty of time, just not the cash!

Before it was the other way around.

Sucks that is works that way!

Ok, I'm going to throw this out there and see if it sticks.....

I am wondering if anyone is willing to take on a large fowl buff Faverolles project?? I crossed a LF buff Orpington rooster over my bantam buff Faverolles hens. I have been told by some old time breeders that when you cross bantams and large fowl you'll end up with some larger than the LF parent, and some smaller than the bantam parent. SO...there is a possibility of creating a bantam and a large fowl line out of this. I can tell you that there is a HUGE size difference in the chicks that I have hatched out so far. I SO WISH I could do this myself, but I just don't have room (and DH doesn't have patience) for another LF coop.

About buff Favs...there are a very few of us in the USA with bantam buffs. The LF buffs in the US are GONE. Which is why I really don't want to let this opportunity pass by. Basically what is needed is this: I need someone to take these large buff chicks, grow them out, and keep one or two roos to maturity, we would then cross whichever has the best Fav type back over my buff girls, to hopefully lock in the Fav type, and continue from there (so I also NEED whoever might be considering this to have a disease-history free flock, and be super-conscientious about quarantine, etc).

All of these babies have lightly feathered shanks, most of them have puffy cheeks but we'll have to see who ends up with the best beards/muffs, but none of them have 5 toes, which is also why there will need to be at least one more cross back to the pure buff Favs.

Anyone interested??? Oh, the chicks are only 1-2 weeks old right now, I think there are about 4 that are bigger, and I have more in incubators and under broodies.....

Thanks!!! Feel free to ask questions here, or PM me.....
