Hector, that would be great!
Slvrphoenix...oh it is pretty funny actually now that I am done being mad at him/her. I am glad I had a place for it to go, quick! BUT of all the chickens I have, WHY did it have to be that one >! Exasperation at these little guys always tricking us. Cynthia, you will have to check out your records and let me know where is the best place to get showgirl hatching eggs/which ones hatched best for you. I am going to give it a try. Just one batch, I know they are tough...but have to try once at least! I really want another white one, just like my last one only female!

Didn't you say that the guy that got your showgirl has Silkies? Showgirl + Silkies, gives you both. That's actually how most of the eggs sent to me were. I never knew for sure if I would get any showgirls. There are some that breed showgirl to showgirl.
Either a girl showgirl or boy showrgirl, with the opposite Silkie sex. So, if he said you could have some eggs..you have an excellent chance of getting another pretty showgirl. The bowties are hard to get that are that full. Yours had a nice one. If he is crowing, he will be wanting to do the manly thing soon. So, that guy could have some nice eggs to give it a try soon, if they are laying.

Hector, would you believe, that my leghorn is still molting? I am not sure what is going on. She is eating well. I give her extra protein. Boss. Barley, and regular layer mash. She is laying, but not every day, but almost.

I have three POL girls. One being the wheaten. She is getting red. She was in the nest box yesterday, but not sure if it was because she wanted to hang out in there. Usually though, they just sit on the edge of the boxes in the day, not lay in them. hmmm! She is the most red out of my three. The other two or, should say three more..! .. are, a red sex link, my blue EE, and my leghorn A. mix.

My blue splash is being a good mama. Stays on those eggs. I need to candle again on day 10. I know they both looked good and with veins when I checked last.

Yeah! Sold three laying hens

Oh...Someone sold me 6 Pigeons

Hey that's plus three in my books. I'll have to get pictures, they all won awards and stuff and he gave me the trophies so I had to buy award winners

right? The cutest ones are called "Buda Pest Tumblers" and then there's a pair of Fantails and something else.


PICTURES:

Those are nice keep showing pictures and I might have to build another pigeon coop

Cynthia, are you really going to sell your blue splash? i will be glad to take her, how old is she?

She is just a year, or over..would have to look. Started laying this summer. Had some eggs for a while. Have you seen her? Of course she doesn't look like this now, and I have trimmed her feathers around her eyes so she can see the food dish in front of her.

This is the most recent picture of her and my Cotton. She was starting to go broody,
doing wing flapping, and clucking. I would say she started staying in the nest box about
3 days after this picture was taken.

Pretty fluffy girl. Very sweet. Comes right up to you. This was taken this summer,
because that blue is one that is POL now.

Are they pretty nice? I just went off the one's that won the trophies and my chicken knowledge like not buy crossbeaks or one's with mites.

I don't know I mostly keep pigeons and doves to remind me of my grandad. They look awfully nice.

 

[Sphinx]

Pretty new pigeons!

Lisa, I"m so sorry about your showguy. I"m glad that you found a new home that quickly for him.

 

[RedIII]

Whittni, that chocolate colored pigeon with the big collar is cute!

Cynthia, do you think maybe your Leghorn has something else going on? Have you checked her for bugs and such? I think you said you deworm them every so often, right?

His silkies are crosses with a leghorn....weird....not sure how they would turn out. They were hatched in Aug so won't be ready to mate for a bit....

Well, I have done it now. I saw some showgirl eggs, and you know what happened. Remember my vow not to hatch until the first of the year? Phooey. Do.not.say.a.word.! Ha! I guess I will have Christmas babies. If I can get them to work, I remember how hard they were...and it is not a good time to be getting shipped eggs. I could not help myself.
