Yeah, it's more like looking at a 6 month old and saying "That's a cute baby"
Thank you! So it seems the Araucana is the key. I've tried several Maran-Ameraucana and Australorp-Ameraucana crosses without success .I have a Japanese Phoenix-Americana cross that lays a grayish-green egg, but it would be pushing it to call it an "olive-egger", it is so pale. : )

And the cloud I saw in the way home that reminded me of Subahlah's description of the image used to represent God.

Cream legbar x FBC marans or Partridge penedesenca work too.

@LindaB220 I know! He was dang 6 weeks old when he started crowing! Very funny to hear! He's the Golden Campine, and I've read a few stories of them crowing early.

Good luck with Maddy, tnspursfan!

A billion dollars damage from the CA earthquake. The worst loss may be the wine. No fatalities.

We made it to Nashville safe and sound.

Does she go in tomorrow then?

I will remember to pray for you.

Sending lots of good thoughts and prayers Maddie's way.

1) my car is super full of junk, we were closing down a daycare this weekend and all paperwork etc. etc. etc. is wedged into my car. I just remembered I need to use it, to hold 6 people, in 20 minutes.

2) I need to go socialize with a bunch of people in 20 minutes, and I have been working all day, AND I AM TIRED

3) I am also pretty stinky and filthy, and don't have time to bathe because of number 1, but ah, no one will even notice, it is Homer.

Tomorrow is pre-op. Then no food after midnight so dinner tomorrow is Maddy's choice. Probably Chile's, she loves the table side guac. And we just watched the Lego movie so now "everything is awesome!"

Enjoy your time together, and know - many prayers are being said for Maddie.

But how can any discussion on biting flies be complete without this guy?


We have horse flies around here that look like this, and are nearly 2" (5 cm) long. Even the horses are afraid of them.
