Gorgeous Amy! Do you plan on putting those boys with some Lavs? It looks like you'll be producing some spectacular Lavenders in a few generations!!!

Jeremy I traded all my lav orp projects and an English roo to a friend in Rome, GA. She's giving me back some wheaten am hens she hatched from my eggs last year. Just going to work on the blacks, and maybe do some 50/50s with a Disney splash. At least that way I will know who is who.

Trying to cut down on the chickens and do more with the geese. I wish you were closer- I would give you my blue-tailed del trio.

very nice!! I really like those, how old?

I think they're going on 7 months. One girl just started laying, but the others haven't yet. They're so big they don't like using the milk crate nest boxes , so I am going to have to figure something else out.

Well, I have two computers here at home - my work computer and my personal computer. I have Google Chrome on my work computer, and I have IE and Firefox on my personal computer - all are updated with the latest browers, etc., and both are fairly new, lots of RAM, lots of memory, etc. - I've tried the new BYC with all 3 browsers and it sucks on them all !!! I have absolutely no problem with any other site - nor did I ever have a problem with the old BYC. There is just too much unnecessary crap on this new BYC. It is ridiculous to expect people to change their browsers or update a bunch of stuff on their computers in order to be able to access this new site !! I guess next we'll have to upgrade our entire operating system on our computers in order to use the new BYC !! I realize that they said they had to make some sort of update, but change is not always better, and sometimes LESS is more.

And two other things I hate - I hate that because half of the screen is now taken up with ads and members on line, and recommendations and crap, that the size of the posts are now so small and the pictures we post all look skewed and all smushed. And I also hate that I now have to wear glasses in order to read any posts !!

Just out of curiousity, what operating system are you using? I am using Windows 7 with a two year old computer and it's fine in Firefox and IE both. No problems at all. Screen resolution is 1680x1050 and in firefox, I do ctrl and + or the scroll wheel if I need the lettering larger. The stuff on the right is annoying but it doesn't prevent me from reading anything. I do have a fairly nice video card also though. You'd be amazed how much difference that can make.

Holy Cow... just figured out I wasn't even signed in, Joy I use IE too.. soo here goes my first test to see if I have a problem with it. I wasn't getting notices for new posts... Soo guess one has to sign back up for each subject??
