OMG THANKS I will probably order some from them.

There is this bunch up on Ebay at the moment: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201523228780?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I had 3 dates for Valentines Day. A good friend, a June Bug, and a 600 to 700 pound Mustang. It's been about 8 years since he's had a saddle on, but he did fantastic and made my day!

Great photos! That is so neat that the horse did so well after 3 yrs! Looks like someone had a great time on the back of that Mustang!

Aww..so cute. Looks like a SLW on the right. We are having a TSC get chicks in tomorrow..so they advertised. Will have to go check it out. I am wanting a leghorn! Love them, and, if they have any bantam cochins, I always have to have one running around the back yard in the summer.

Sounds better than my valentine's day. My chihuahua thinks it's funny to chase my only bantam across the yard. Had to stitch her leg in 2 places and her right shoulder.

Dog got in trouble, but think I'll try to rehome/trade the poor little Japanese bantam pullet so she doesn't get hurt again.

She's okay, luckily-happily pecking away at scrambled egg in the brooder.
(the dog is smart, though; he leaves the full-size chickens alone: got pecked on the nose by them one too many times)

My Isbars are not cuddlebugs, but they are not flighty. If I have treats, I need to watch where I step. I also have never had an aggressive Isbar rooster. I would definitely recommend this breed to those with young children without concern.

Yes, he likes to get not only my Svarthöna culls, but any old roosters or hens I want to trade to him. I brought him 10 extra roosters including 2 Svarthönas last month and he gave me a 24 lb. turkey and some turkey parts that he needed to move.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Oooo.... new chickens...

When you are comfortable telling her that you would choose her every time, knowing she would never make you choose, but also knowing deep inside if push came to shove you WOULD choose her, then you are ready for marriage.

How terrible!

I know it is just awful when the cat walks on the keyboard and posts a winning bid for me.

I keep her Greenies on hand for just those occasions.

Happy Valentines everyone!!! Hope everyone is having a peeptastic day!!

I know I am because... Oh Look! A feed store!... Oh Look! They have chicks!!... Oh Look!! I have chicks!!!
I know... I am so terrible... I don't know how DH puts up with me. I guess I will just have to him some chicks next time. Hehehe.

The ones that get me are the little brown Fayoumis.
