Always a thrill! That one is a whopper!

My first eggs!!!!

Good to have her back where her genetics can be put to best use. Thanx for the compliment. (I think)

Sorry Doug!

This Buff hen is sister to the Buff in my avatar. The genetics books all say that the genes of these sisters should both be an even 50/50 from each of their parents. One of my best poultry friends says it can vary much much more.
This girl was placed into the hands of the best conditioner of chickens I know. Better then Doug in my opinion for just keeping chickens happy and healthy.
I traded my pal Lee my only Shamo pullet and the daughter to my LF Black Rumpless Orp, she is a Bantam Rumpless Black Orp to have back this Buff hen to take to the same Akers cock I used last year to make my 20 Buffs I hatched out. Willing to bet there are not many of those Rumpless Orps running around the states, or any where else.
She does hold her tail up when running around, here she is wondering if she is on the menu.
Here I will be testing that genetic theory. And we will see what pops out this coming season.

This girl is a Wide Load. (I would never say that to her face, though)



Here she is with her boyfriend.

Pretty birds Blarneyeggs, I really like her boyfreind...and I LOVE that hens face..
