Aveca, your painted roo is lovely! He kind of reminds me of Oliver on Kathy's website. Very very handsome.

However, there are no solid black feathers on your roo. Is that the Del standard? I would think that would be hard to breed for since the hens do have some solid black feathers in their tails. Seems like you would have to have a hen line and a roo line. ANyway, maybe I am just confused about it? Feel free to straighten me out. I am not very knowledgeable about breeding poultry.

Well, one of the eggs just rocked so they're still alive in there; at least, one of them is. Pray I don't end up with a single chick and have to see if the feed store has a buddy for it. This time of year, she only has ones that were raised and returned to the store for sale (which I won't touch, period) or bantams from Ideal. I think I'd die if I had to consider a Silkie!

Aveca, nice sign, very nice in fact.

speckled hen NO SILKIES! You give those eggs a good talking to and tell them I said they HAVE TO HATCH OR ELSE!

They hate me at the TSC cuz when i hear they have silkie chicks, I come in with my tin foil hat and garlic necklace. I try to stock up before they get there. I completely understand why all the help seems weird when silkies are there. I'm the only one who can put two thoughts together at silkie time. My aunt had silkies. Went completely off her nut, she did. STAY AWAY FROM SILKIES!

Now the ALBC is tomorrow. It's about cattle but I'm going just the same. DW will have a stroke if I come home with a calf as I'll be driving her car. I wouldn't even if we are getting a new freezer. OMG I won't be here when it comes!

How many here follow the ALBC and get their newsletters?

Take care everyone you know I love ya,
