Howdy from Rosenberg! Who is the little cutie on your lap?

(Couldn't resist doing this

)

The girl in the photo with me is Lucy.

What type Brahma would this little one be?

 

[JudysMuscovy]

What about this one

Anyone want to take a stab at what type of bantams my daughter brought home?

No name 1

No name 2

Frosty

Sylvia

Princess Buttercup

And our Minorca Tabitha. She's far from bantam but she's too wonderful to leave out!

Oh, chicken math! Congrats on the babies!

So, to x2 KikisGirls' question: did the feed store tell you which hatchery they came from? Those cheeks are SO cute!

She did and I can't remember the name--- I ordered a feeder so I'll ask again. Out of the 60 or so chicks and ducks, they all made it alive.

I'll post when I find out!

I can get you a T-shirt with that line on it at a local shop. LOL

The lady in the photo with me is Lucy.

Lucy looks like an Easter Egger. I have two like her. Is she laying yet?

Thanks for the offer, but I much rather watch the movie.

Yes, she is an Easter Egger and gives us a beautiful green egg every day. Her sister Emily is not quite over her encounter with the dog and is not back into laying shape just yet. LOL

Anyone else dealing with these darn walnut worms. My barnyard mix of laying hens we use for eggs are out with Lucky the Rooster. I hope they eat their weight in worms. Darn things are everywhere. Park under a tree, and they try and turn your truck into a cocoon. I keep my various breeds in different chicken houses. I can only let one free range at a time, or there will be one heck of a cock fight, as each pen as roosters to keep the eggs fertile and girls happy.

Good idea of how to get rid of the insect pests -- are they mostly on the ground? It seems this time of year is the time for the creepy crawlies to come out.
Just got 3 1/2" of rain today -- the seasonal pond (aka mosquito hatchery) has now got water in it along with a couple of other places around the property... At least all the plants and trees got a good watering - with no effort on my part.
