in the first pic, they look like they are saying "OMG Daddy is kicking us OUT!"
And in the second one "where's the TV?"
Adorable birds!

OK the millefleur d'Uccles got their first day trip outside....Well they hated it!!!! I'm afraid they miss the TV, and they where scared of everything....the wind, a leaf, a crow, other chickens. So tommorrow they will be left out longer til they more use to it!!!! Coop is almost done, just need to do some finally touches and the run needs to be wired over.

They are Not sure about the sand... so they stayed on the ladder almost the whole time!




Gonna add some planters and paint a few things. Hopefully tomorrow they will explore alittle bit more!!!!
I also have to finish the inside of the coop!!!

You know I have been considering doing such a thing here...not fancy...do not do fancy!! Pink talked about a cookout back in fall and I think it would be great to host a cookout and meet! Seems like I may be kinda in the middle of all the users from upstate and below!! Hmmm...APRIL???

Ok...I go work my play job ONE day and it takes and hour to catch up...The Duccle coop is too cute! Amy you are super and thanks for the compliment! I am serious about a cook out! I cant wait for the newnan show! DH is gonna hate it! LOL Am I going to fast!! Playing catch up so I can go clean my brooder full of babies...

I think I am gonna have to make me a shirt for the show so everyone can find me!! LOL Of course I bet I will have on very funny shoes(weather permitting!) Today was Flaming Converse Friday! My kids at school love them...Then there are the skull Vans..the Harley boots,also with skulls,My patriotic converse,etc...

My principal just ask that the skulls are for fridays!!

Joy...me and you are gonna have to have a serious pheasant discussion!! I just need 18 days to see if I am a new quail owner! Set my eggs today!

Sounds like you raided my old shoe closet! I used to LOVE Vans & Chuck Taylors!

I have not owned tennis shoes in a couple of years - SO many hurt my feet, I threw a pair away and never replaced them.. I had a pair I kept for going to Amys..that I never wore much...but usually wore flip flops up there LOL.....when we got tickets to go to Nascar race in Charlotte a good friend gave me a pair of hers - New Balance - Ugly gray - but COMFY on my old feet!

If it is Mucky I will wear my new rubber boots! Well Maybe ---- I have nothing to match them!


I need a shirt too is what DD says. She has on her West Knoll Farm Shirt today! I have no idea what I will be wearing that day...I can't decide this far ahead! LOL

Question: My 11-yr old son wants to have his own breed of chicken to breed and sell. Any suggestions on what would be a good one? He doesn't want to do anything we currently have. Something easy going for sure!

Looks like a pretty day ahead. Enjoy!

LF or bantam?

To show also, or just raise?

Just gave away 7 hens and 1 rooster. Still have 3 more Cochin cockerels to get rid off and then... LOOKOUT!! I have my breeders situated and I am set for new babies come spring!!

The gentleman who came to get them had just finished building his first coop and was just getting started! So fun to help someone else start down the path of addiction/ obsession... I mean 'hobby' of backyard chickens!! Have a great weekend everyone!

I'm not sure he cares about the size. He wants to sell them (eggs and chicks). Maybe show. We're hopefully going to Newnan so we'll see after that!

I suggest Salmon Faverolles. Pretty, calm and come in LF or bantam.
