Hey, what's the difference between a blue orpington and blue andalusion? I was told that this little grey one could be either. What do you think?

Welcome Winyari!!

Here's a pic of my blue orp pullet, yours looks similar to mine but with some subtle differences, but I'm not familiar with the Andalusians...

Thanks, Daloorashan. Those are beautiful chickens. Yours and mine do look very similar. Google tells me that the two breads look very similar too. Either way, I think she (still not completely sure she's a she either) is quite pretty.

Ok, so thinking possibly a cuckoo and a black? The first one has a little more gray in the feathering. POLISH ROCK!!!!!!!!

Winyari,

Pleasant Grove is a grand ole town, although it has grown since I lived there last (over 40 years ago). Too bad they won't let you have roosters.

Jesusfreak, you missed out on my last EE's! These are going to be nice. I have blue EE's, and one black EE. The other EE's are the Ameraucana/leghorn mix. I thought you had said you wanted some. )

I'm super excited to see your Ameraucana/Leghorn mix babies! Big, Blue eggs are exciting!

Weeeeell I'm thinking that both of my Icelandics are boys. Darnit.

And how often do you feel like your chickens just walk all over you?

Nooooo, Red! Say it isn't so! Still keeping my fingers crossed for a girl. Your Icees are looking really good, and that is a cute pic.

Hi, my Utah friends. I should probably introduce myself every time I post since it is so irregular that I do!

I'm Jessica. We have 6 chickies that are about 7 weeks old; I'm not quite sure. I don't know what they are but am kind of suspecting that three of them are roos. We live in Pleasant Grove and can't have roosters so I'm trying to figure that out today. We're also working on building them a coop. It's all a fun adventure!

Hi, Wynari! I seem to remember you posting a while back, but welcome again anyway. Bummer deal about the roos. Hopefully you can rehome them quickly.

Wynari! How big is your coop going to be? It'll be a great adventure for you.

Cynthia, I'm dying to see pictures of your new babies, especially the lavender leghorns.

Lisa, NOOOOOOOOO on both of the Icelandics being boys. NOT POSSIBLE!!!

I went to Peterson Feed today to get some bigger feeders. The evil temptress there laughed when she saw me and told me to check out the chicks. They were "coop ready pullets". $10. They were the same bunch of chicks from last week, but it looked like it was primarily golden laced wyandottes, and something else. Maybe a welsummer or something? I told her to get thee hence, Satan, to which she cracked up.

My kids tried to talk me into buying goats and bunnies, but we left the store with only the items I planned on buying.

That's what I call willpower!

Oh yeah, this one fell asleep in my hand on our way home from Lisa's.

I'm going to add to Howard's pictures of his new Polish babies. The first is a top shot of the chick we think may be cuckoo. Am I dreaming?

this 2nd picture is of the black polish (who we think is a boy). I just noticed yesterday he doesn't have a toenail on one of his middle toes. It's kinda cute.

What was your old one and what was your new one?

I have stryo bators, and I just got a cabinet bator. It's a small one. This was my first time hatching from it. I have some babies..will take pictures tomorrow. Pretty cute, as usual.
Now, I just have that one bator that's not as full as when I started. I have Welsummers to hatch, Silkies, and a few showgirls, if they make it. Then, that's it for a while. Putting the bators away until fall.

Well, here I am a day late and a dollar short, I just got my bike out last night and dug most of my accessories out of boxes since last fall's move. I just need to get a new helmet since my suspension pieces fell out of mine. And then I see this post and go, "DARN IT", I could have been torturing myself today.

Good luck on the ride!!

Oh wait, wrong bike, I sold that one.

That's the right one, in front of the pawn shop in Austin, TX where I found it.
