OMGOODNESS!!!!
I was just over to the calendar contest thread and on PAGE 11, Post # 110 is the most STUNNING PHOTO of 3 Wellie Hens posted by MCBEAR in Maryland.
'Here are 3 of my fathers Wellie Girls"
I have sent her an email and asked her to post it hear and maybe we can find out if they know what the lines are.
I have NEVER seen such a beautiful photo of the Wellies. Colors and contrast are just AWESOME.
Now everybody go look because we want THAT PHOTO to make it into the calendar and if we all go and VOTE on it, maybe it will make it!
Cheers all, I've got 12 little chickie and the one left in the bator has it's yolk sac on the outside so I have to go see if it's still alive (I hate this part of incubating! Those stragglers hardly ever make it out)
The Chickenstock Wellies are in their feathers now (3 weeks old) and look like a bunch of partridges, shaft color and partridge splotches the whole bunch and a few with the combs beginning to stick up. They are cool in the basement and the hot weather (98) is keeping them there for a bit longer.
The Teens in the Greenhouse are hot and muggy. It is cooler than outside, but a bit muggy. The 2 silkies still seem to be TOP DOGS and are in full puffy feathering and GORGEOUS. Think they will be alright to run with this flock or will the roos eventually want to mate them? Anyone know how to tell a girl from a boy on Silkies?
Now go over to the CALendar Contest page and look at that photo. It isn't mine or I would post it here and then you could all drool, too!!
Cheers,
Bonnie
