Utah!

Lisa I am so jealous of you going to a Journey concert! I have wanted to see them for a long time. I'm a big Journey fan. They were big in the bay area where we lived for a while in California.
Love them. Did not know they were doing a concert in SLC.:hit

My daughter turns 17 and this is her Bday present, Dad and I are taking her and a friend. Good idea huh! Fun present for all of us. They are with Pat Benatar and Loverboy. How fun is that? Stroll down memory lane for sure! I am excited, they are at Usana Ampitheater....outdoors, nice venue, I saw Rod Stewart there with my mom and it was a blast.
 
Lisa, lucky! Let us know how the concert goes! If you need, I'd be more than happy to meet you when you guys are in town here. I can babysit that little Marans X for Cynthia, if she wants it

(She looks gorgeous!)

Aunt Hattie, do the mystery chicks have furry feet, by chance? Oh they are so cute. Alas, for I have sworn off any new additions to my flock for quite a while. Bah.

Sphinx, I'm glad Thing 2 has improved so much. Hooray! I'll bet Thing 1 is happy.

Edit: I always forget something. Lisa, congratulations on the new layers! How exciting that all your babies from the year are starting to give you eggs

And Aunt Hattie, I love seeing your Partridge Silkie. Silkies are so fun, anyway, but I think the white and partridge colors are my favorite. I just want to reach out and feel that poof!

Yoo hoo Cynthia.....



she keeps running, does not like that shiny camera lol! so the way it worked.....a marans crossed with an ameraucana to produce an olive egger. THEN that olive egger hen was bred to a Marans again to make the olive darker. this chick hatched from that olive egg. So it will lay dark dark olive, hopefully, but a chance it will be dark Marans brown. The eggs are really nice sized. You are welcome to her, I owe you a chicken or two lol! And the eggs would come in about 2 months!
I'll take her!! Did you hear that auntie is going to make a trip the first part of Sept? Can you hold her that long though? She is very pretty! Olive eggs.. from a beautiful girl

Ok she is yours! I hope sooooo bad you get a crazy dark dark olive egg. Michelle said there is a good chance. I want to get her to you sooner than that if I can....Are you making any trips to SLC in the next week or so if I had Red babysit her from Friday Aug 3 on? (Thanks for the offer Red!) Is anybody else on here headed from SLC south to Orem in the next week or two and wanting to meet our Red and Cynthia? Hattie does not come through Logan actually i have to drive over to meet her in Tremonton, I can only go at night so I do not know if we will be able to meet.

I have to tell you, the Showgirl I have from you...looks so sweet and gentle right? woo she is a force to be reckoned with. I think she has established herself Waaay up the totem pole. All the others run from her. (Hopefully it is a her haha!) This little olive egger poked her beak into the place where the showgirl hangs out and she yelled at her and pecked her really hard on the nose.
""Get out! This is MY spot!"" It was so funny because she is so fluffy and small. The other girls do not mess with her at all. She is a people chicken, loves people.
 
Lisa, isn't it funny how some of them dominate like that? My 4-mo-old BO pullet was chasing the larger BO (Goldie) around the yard yesterday because she didn't like her. The smaller BO is about half the size of Goldie, but she still manages to get both her and the rooster running. She's a spitfire, that one!

Yay, a chicken for Cynthia! If anyone can help relay the OE from my house to Cynthia, I've got this week and next week that I could meet up with someone, with the exception of next saturday (11th). After those two weeks, I'll be involved with the deer hunt, so I won't be available.
 
I hope the showgirl is a girl, and that she doesn't get into pecking hard! What a little stink! My Cotton, my white Silkie, trys to be bossy with the others in that pen, she will stand up tall over the other chick, give it the stink eye, then they both walk off. The worst she's done so far is turn and jump at them. I don't mind that at all, they just know, stay away from her..she's up there on that totem pole. I have found, if another chicken won't "run" from a bossy chicken, then they do all right.

Yes, I can meet someone in Orem. Winco!

Were they hatched from the true olive color..really olive. Like a green olive? lol...I'm picky now about my green. Those eggs I got from that gal were so pretty. Just the color I wanted. If you think the chicks are girls..can you take pictures?

They were the most pretty olive eggs, Big and the chicks are big I will take pics
 
Alright, I put an ad on KSL for Goldie to see if anyone claims her in the next 48 hours. If not, she'll be staying with us. Is it bad if I really hope that no one comes looking for her?
hmm.png
 
Oh, Lisa, that girl is beautiful!!! If Cynthia doesn't want her (and yeah, Cynthia is owed some gift chickens FOR SURE), I sure do!

Sundance, I heard a hilarious story of someone using bluing to make their white chickens extra white for a show. Except it backfired, and the chickens were blue. So don't do that!! I've decided that I want to do your kitten photography in the future for your ads. I'd love to play with your kitties. How big is your incubator? That's a LOT of fun eggs.

Cynthia, I am so impressed that the seller refunded your money like that. What an ethical businessperson!


Thing 2 is acting like everything is all better. :)

It was me that used the blueing on white chickens I learned my lesson. I hope this time to do better won't be showing white for a bit.
 
My daughter turns 17 and this is her Bday present, Dad and I are taking her and a friend. Good idea huh! Fun present for all of us. They are with Pat Benatar and Loverboy. How fun is that?

Can you bring the chicken to me? I am going to orem tomorrow and she could meet me and pick it up
