Thanks Kathy!! I was looking for a pair of Guineas to aggravate the neighbors but the man didnt show up. I was told she was a Hybrid and dummy me thought she might be an ISA not knowing what one looked like but further research found she was an Amber Star. I couldve called her Amber but I dont know of any Ambers that I like so I was watching PBS and Betty Ford's story came on hence the name Betty Ford,lol

Queen of downsizing here. Taking 10 birds to show at the fair next weekend....hopefully only bringing 3 back home. Taking 19 other pullets to sell (all POL cochin mixes).

Will have a whopping 10 adult "layers", plus my head cochin rooster left. Keeping 2 of the cochin mixes, plus the 4 new hamp girls and 2 new hamp boys. Keeping 3 mottled cochin hens for now, plus the 8 babies......was going to sell them all, but going to wait and think it through...I went through a lot of work to get these 3 GREAT hens, and these chicks might be sons and daughters of Mr Mottled, so I will at least grow them out. The boys are just as big of JERKS as he was back in the day, so I definitely see some resemblance......

So, I will have 22 birds plus 8 babies, going into winter.

Oh, I can see why you had to bring Betty home! What a pretty hen!

In 12 hours, I will be done having babies. This is hitting me harder than it should.

Oh Brandon! She's a pretty little lass! I can definitely see why you fell in love with her and had to bring her home. Personally, I love the RS. I've had six of them in the past, and if I had the room, I'd certainly get me some more of them. So what if they're a sex link? They have some of the sweetest personalities of all of the birds I've ever had. I'm sure you're going to grow to love and enjoy Betty's company more and more, as time goes by. They really are very friendly birds.

Jeff, you completely crack me up!

I can so hear that exchange between your mom and Lowell!

Kathy, those babies are cute little fuzzy butts! I sure hope you find your good camera soon. No offense, but the camera you're using now ain't a patch on what your other camera can do! I guess we all got a bit spoiled by the quality of your good camera. Find that thing woman! Quickly now! Much more of pictures like that and I'm liable to go cross eyed!

Well, I suppose since the sun has been down for nearly an hour now, I should go out and retrieve Goobey from the covered run and put him to bed. He was being a total toe rag tonight. You know the routine of these young boys: Harassing the living daylights out of girls, who just want to lay down their burdens of the day and go to sleep.... Givin his daddy a hard time..... Over which his daddy gave a good thumping to tonight as a result of it.

I was so proud of Chief!

Though, if I had my druthers, I'd rather Chief not have torn the living bejeebers out of Goobey's comb. Long story short, the whole incident was enough for me to toss Goobey out the door of the coop and lock his silly butt into the covered run until the girls could all calm down and settle in for the night. Poor little toe rag is still out there. I'm sure he's completely penitent by now! That little man is just slightly scared of the dark, you know.

So, I'm off to get the Goobey brat, check his comb, do any doctoring that he might need, and put him to bed. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Labor Day weekend. I'll catch up with y'all later tomorrow!

PS. New pictures of the house progress coming soon!

Good morning and happy LABOR DAY - doesn't that mean someone else should be doing my chicken chores?

Kathy, those chicks are WAY too cute.I am glad your husband got you chicks and not a boa. Or silly underwear. MUCH more thoughtful on his part.

Brandon, is an Amber Star a red sex link? I always thought the pullets were solid red and the roos had that red and white pattern - what do they cross to get those?

Cetawin, just lock your MIL in the Diva's stall. Jo will win.

Happy Labor Day everybody.

Well color me clueless Jeff. I have no idea of what you're talking about. Details, dear boy! One simply must have details!
