Hey allison and Flower thought you may like these pictures
no pressure allison  cause Im not a chicken pusher

According to who? Shall we ask Dave?
I'm done for now....I just introduced the frizzle and new NN to the pen. It went very well! Whew!
I put Mitzi the Spitzi in the big coop and she's holding her own. I did have to remove one of the cockerels. Just too many hormones raging in that coop right now :/ Fortunately for her, the top boy has taken a liking to her and seems to be protecting her.

After these NN's from Nava grow out I'm taking a break from chicks for a while. I've got one (or two) more spots in Ems pen and I hope to add at least one lavender pullet to the flock.

Isn't Hawthorne's the store that is having chick days? I'm NOT going 'cause I know I will come home with something and I really, really don't need anything right now. What will YOU be coming home with?. . . oh yeah, now I remember! . . . . on the other hand, geese!!! Speaking of husbands...Dave would kill me!

I came home with some things I didn't really need.

Renee those three I got from you are doing quite well in their own pen. I let the little girl pick which pen she wanted to be in she wanted in with the two Guineas I have separated from my mob. She immediately went in and snuggled with them. They looked at her like who in the H*** are you. They are sweet guineas and were getting picked on in the Mob. So I wound up putting the two roos in too because I figured they knew about Guineas as well.

I have been going up every day since and the little hen sits with the Barred rock while the Big roo does guard duty.... too cute. Hes decided to keep an eye on those guineas. They get their own this weekend so everyone will have species specific housing.... LOL. I have a 24 foot long enclosure planned. half will be for the Wellies and the other half will be for two six by six spaces.

Then the rest of the coop will have to wait till I can get some help dismantling a wall.

Buff Brahmas,steve wants buff brahmas and hawthorn has them.
Not a single one hatched from the shipped dozen.one was peeping but never pipped.
Guess there are reasons beyond my understanding why that would happen.

The seller did say she would send some more for the cost of shipping though.
thought that was nice of her to do.

so glad they are doing well.the barred rock and rumpless hen grew up together.I recently seperated him once we relized she was a he.
her pen was next door to the guineas they shared a common fence.
hot suff was always on the look out here also.
he kept alert to everything even the next door neighbors dog and chickens kept him very busy in his bachlor pen

I was hoping that would happen for you...

I think you should just pop up to Hawthorne and get what you want (oops, I mean what Steve wants!).

Were we considering a Modesto Milling order this month? I forgot how quickly little fuzzy butts chomp down the chick starter...

I noticed alot of you were thinking about ducks. I have runner ducklings right now and I'll be hatching more.

Renee - Mine do stand as upright as the blue you posted a pic of, SQ is much taller.

Just PM me if interested.
