Breed pictures!

I hope my Brahmas look like her

 

[GAFarmGirl87]

If you get the CWB, can I have some?

That's 42 regular eggs and 12 bantam eggs....Maybe if you put them in egg cartons with the bottoms cut out you could fit all of them??? IDK what your 'bator looks like. Sorry about the mud spots that swallow your car!!! We have to cross a river to go grocery shopping, and it was flooded last spring, but we found a place we thought we could cross (DH thought we could cross), the front right tire (MY TIRE) sunk in the mud that looked not that deep.

Yikes!

 

[TeaChick]

Breed pictures!

Yes, I'm very willing to take the bantam eggs.

Or some of the dominiques; I already have leghorns.

Yes, we claim her first for sure!!
Oh yes, pics are required!

You're so sweet!!!

 

[TeaChick]

Yikes!

Yup. It ended up alright, but it could have gone really, really bad.

 

[Alaskan]

Yes, yes, but @TeaChick do you have rose comb leghorns? Do you have dark brown Leghorns?

Don't you need ALL of the colors?

Yep.....the CWB is SUPER cute. One of the reason that we chose that color is because we have liked the Light Brahma we have had in the past. BUT, I am trying to move to
1. Super tiny combs
2. No feathers on the feet
3. Egg production

(OK, so the Columbian Wyandotte only gets two out of three)

 

[TeaChick]

I have white Leghorn hens (from TSC). They have single combs. My roo is from a white Leghorn hen and a GLW roo; he has a single comb too.
Yes, I want lots of colors; a lot of my chickens are white. Mostly I need more eggs, but I just have to wait until July for those, as a friend of mine hatched out a bunch of WL eggs for me.

Well, Wyandottes do give great egg production; Bantams are just going to give you a bunch of little eggs.
But two outta three ain't bad!!!

Plus, you can send them to me if you don't want them. lol

@TeaChick I can tell you how I get my smileys on... I cut and paste on my computer and On my "stupid" phone I have to "save" the image to my photos and then upload it as a picture...but it's a secret so don't tell anyone about it.

Way to cut and paste. Why work harder than we have to!

BTW the painting is done for now but you're welcome anytime for coffee or tea
and cookies

And chicken talk!

I'll be sure to invite you to the next painting party too! This time it was "Painting - party of 1"

And the rest of the story...got interrupted in the middle of an edit! A little late but what can you do it was construction!

Thanks!!!

Quote: Is that even allowed?

Quote: We live by a creek the floods into our "pond-wannabe". It floods then drains then floods then drains. In a drought it has only a couple feet in it. Can't make up it's mind if it wants to be a pond or not!
But we don't lose any tires or cars in our muddy mess!

OK and I'm have a hard drive error in my memory... data can't be accessed....what is a CWB?

There is a network of dirt roads in the woods behind our place. These roads weren't being maintained, and there used to be a lot of mud holes that went completely across the road, and might be 50 feet long - small ponds, almost. The surface underneath the water might be a bit slippery, but it was pretty firm, so there were a number of good ol' boys that liked to take their trucks back there and go playing in the mud.

A few years ago, a couple of new holes appeared on the road right behind our property. My husband and I began referring to them as "the Big Mud Hole" and "the Little Mud Hole." These two puddles were insidious, because though they looked like any other puddle out there, they weren't. The dirt (if you can call it that) underneath wasn't the fine silt that the others had, it was pure, 100% peat, with no mineral content at all. When dry, it looks a lot like the stuff in those big bags of "peat moss" that you can buy at the garden centers, but when wet, it is the most amazingly sticky, slippery, boot-and-tire-sucking goo you can imagine, and nobody knows just how deep it is. The roads are being maintained to some extent now, but during the years when the Mud Holes reigned, they captured dozens of unwary pick up trucks, 4-wheelers, and even a horse! The Big Mud Hole nearly caught a backhoe once, did manage to snag a front-loader, and almost got the bulldozer that came to fish the frontloader out. After living with those vehicle eating monsters nearly on my doorstep, I will never take mud for granted again.

 

[chickwhispers]

Whoa! Holy peat moss Batman! Bunnylady!!!
Could've made a small fortune on the haul outs! and then sell the peat! Except the poor horse! Aww!

 

[Bunnylady]

Oh, the horse wasn't injured, just mired for a while. His rider nearly had a panic attack, as you can imagine. I didn't witness either that capture nor the rescue; I heard about them through someone who told the story to my husband. I did see quite a few of the others, though, including the front loader. For a while, we considered putting a sign at either end of the road, something to the effect of, "Do not proceed beyond this point without a tow rope, winch, and fully charged cell-phone battery, because you're going to need them!" We also thought about putting boards near the respective mud holes with silhouettes of trucks and 4-wheelers stenciled on them as a warning . . . .
