So cute, any way to make a silkie looking ear ring? Solid color (white, buff, or paint)

I'm still trying to figure that out.....

Here's the chickadee babies:

​

My girls' opinion of them was "They're not cute like our chickens."

You can say that again -

I'm not keeping all these chicks I'm hatching.
One or 2 of each. The rest I'll be giving away
to anyone here who wants one, the rest are
going to my organic farm CSA. They have lots
of chickens, they sell the eggs for $5 a doz.
I wish I could keep them and some Roos but unless
the plan of moving upstate picks up speed it
will be at least a year if it even goes anywhere.
I really want to move like yesterday but it's not
up to me.
Jersyhen wants legbars, if anyone else is interested
in anything I'm hatching just give me a holler.

You could do what I did - hound your partner into building a monster coop! I think we should ALL move upstate!

Yikes. With the punker hair and the bulging eyes they look like some weird rock group.

"They're not cute like our chickens." (I said it again)

It's HARD. i saw those chickens and all I could think of is...Ohmygosh they're so PRETTY! But I think I'm going to need to get at least 2 more silkies for my Karma girl-Little Zen looks really poorly today, it's so heartbreaking. I'm afraid to walk around and hold her and love her. She gets so upset when I pick her up. Little Karma is SO quiet, when Zen goes to sleep she calls and calls, and I know she needs company of another tiny little chick. I emailed the guy I got them from to see if he had any more silkies. She's lonely, and I can't have that. If zen dies I'm going to be devastated.
What varieties do you have in all them there eggs?

NO is not in my vocabulary ordinarily either. And now that hubs and boys are going to make the shed/out house looking thing into another henhouse...that darned chicken math is back at work...(But I'm not going to get the sebrights. Nope. I'm NOT)

And we're all very proud of you!

I think she may be a Rue Paul type of Diva, not a Bette Midler type of Diva.

Picked up little Brutus. He still hisses when I reach for him, but he lets me pick him up and even fell asleep in my arms while we were waiting for the CCL to finish up the paperwork.

Our old girl, Fiona, took one look and let out a monster hiss. But Brutus is a street cat, so it didn't seem to bother him. I put him in his little crate and he fell asleep. Little schmoopie!

Pix later.

Cuteness overload.

In May I truly think it best
To be a robin lightly dressed
Concocting soup inside my nest
Mix it once, mix it twice
Mix that chicken soup with rice.

Cuteness overload.

Adorable. I always wanted an orange kitty. I have 2 cats now and that's enough .
