The doves will just move away when she tries to catch them. They go right back to her then.

Cool!

She may not be happy if you try to eat them though!

The price is usually a good indication. I know of 2 larger hatcheries selling true, purebred Ams (Myer sells blues for $15+, Cackle has blacks for $12). Both sell Easter Eggers for under $5 and are careful to make the distinction (to justify the higher price).

But price is not a guarantee, someone could mark up an EE, and the local Agway was selling my purebred blue and black Ams for $4 - $8 each.

Really, the hatchery EE's are fantastic birds, colorful and good layers. The one thing they can't guarantee is the egg color of a particular chick, that requires more controlled breeding than a hatchery typically cares to do. But as general purpose egg layers of colorful eggs, they are hard to beat.

I love Ameraucanas. I invested a lot in about 100 chicks from a show breeder in Michigan (John Blehm) so that I could offer chicks locally and cheaper next year. I hope to have blacks and silvers, along with the Lavenders. I'm also trying to get my Wheatens to hatch better to build up my numbers of them. Wheatens and Silvers have distinctive coloring that allows them to be sexed at a much younger age than the blacks and lavs. The Lavenders are pretty, as are the silvers and Wheatens, but a good black is the prettiest of them all, IMO. They sparkle in the sunlight and lay such blue eggs.

I'll probably be contacting you in the spring to see about getting some. My list keeps getting longer and longer of chicken's I want.

Anyone in Clearfield County or near by interested in a SLW rooster? Almost 18 weeks old. We have a couple of roosters and he doesn't play well with them. He plucks out their tail feathers. He is a beautiful bird, bUT he has to go. Would like him to go some where he won't be stew meat!!!

I will give this a try for DH, he loves pickles!

, these fridge pickles are very good. At least out taste buds think so...everyone is different though.

bet the house smells awesome

.....I am supposed to be making casseroles to freeze with the beans we picked....the next picking will be made into canned bean salad.
rough night and late morning is putting my plans out of wack today....we should be in the yard right now, or just about getting out of the yard right now...was going to clean a few things up before the real heat set-in....oh well, it all revolves around whether or not you can move your body parts...

...exactly

I know that feeling . . . .
I try to "justify" getting more breeds with the excuse that I want to make them more available to others. But really, I get what I want, if it aligns with what other people want, then great.
