Ahhh...that is probably the problem. I'm on my son's school laptop & it blocks photobucket...along with most other sites as well. The only reason it doesn't block BYC is because it is classified as an "educational" site.

We finally got started on the new 40x8 Divided coop. Here is today's work.

Unfortunately we also had a very smashed thumb out of the job.

Never fun when you hit the wrong nail.

None of my olive eggers hatched- My easter egger roo is not doing his job! All clear. But I had 3 of the barnyard mix hatch. So that's 3 chicks out of 12 set.

That makes sense.



Here is the back toe that is missing a nail. I have no idea what caused it.

Poor baby was so nervous coming out of the shell that he bit his nail to the quick!!

It does look like a girl and maybe its just the pics or that she isnt full fluffed up but her eyeliner isnt very dark and defined and from the bottom picture her back coloring looks off. Do you have a pic from above her? Is her chipmunk pattern very well defined? Im almost tempted to say it is a dark male

but more pics will help

This is what my CL pullet chicks look like

Here are some more pics of my CL Hope. She still hasn't fully fluffed yet because there is some sticky think on her back (I might have a to clean her a little). Looks like real chipmunk pattern but I am not an expert. What do you think?

Her fabrics are AWESOMENESS!!!

Thanks Sally. I try my best to get material that does not have a lot of red which can be difficult, especially if it is really nice. Those are reversible so if one side gets dirty you just turn it over...besides every girls needs more than one outfit......even feathered girls.

I know this is probably a very silly question, but I'm askin' it anyway.

Since Easter Eggers are NOT a true breed...and because they are any breed of chicken that was once bred with an Araucana or Ameracauna,...does that mean that the chicks I hatched from EE roo over BR hens are considered Easter Eggers? Or just named mixed breed? Sorry, I don't know how to list them when I try to sell them.

Also, will any pullets lay blue or green eggs? Ty!!

Here are a few photos of the eggs..some aren't real bad, some are...



What is that white egg? I am loving the OE's, and those blues don't show up as blue of course.
But they are very blue!

Them there are some pretty eggs.
