I got her as a week old chick in September at Hawthorne feed store, Escondido. Thank you! I'll tell her today that you thought she was pretty.

I've been asked a few times when the next meet up will be - so I thought why not try for another for February since some didn't get to go and some are anxious for another.

Would everyone be up to meeting on Saturday Feb. 19th? I'll set it up.

SLW vary a lot as to their lacing. Mine are hatchery quality so of course their lacing isn't the best, not going to win any shows here! LoL... But I have noticed that sometimes when their lacing is all botchy, after they molt into their adult feathers the lacing gets a lot better. Sometimes the lacing stays "tight" but they still clean up and don't look all blotchy. I'll show you some pics.

Here is the dad @ about 3 months old (pretty blotchy);

And here he is now;

And here are the hens (mammas) when they were pullets;

I have one female with the tight lacing... I can try to get a pic of her today...

Unfortunately I just started school and have class on Saturdays, I can check and see if I do on that particular Saturday, would you guys be up for a Sunday instead?

How about Sunday Feb 20th? Whats everyones opinion? I know usually more people probably have plans for saturdays so sunday may be better.

I usually work on Sundays, but I can switch my schedule if needed, its not that hard to do if I have enough notice.

My golfing friend stopped by today and I took him up to show him the coop & chickens, after getting the weird expression and "but why chickens?" comment. When I opened up the nesting box to reveal only golf balls - he was thrilled, "Now those are the kind of chickens I want!"

I am game for either day, i think another meetup would be great. If you do it on Sunday i have a few more bird friends that could join. One is a fello serama man in the area. I will bring my chicks back so everyone can see the progress!!
