I thought I was the only one who loved plants. Its good to know there are a couple people here that are too. Those sunflowers are really pretty. Would love to have some throughout my yard.

Good morning, everyone! I am excited today because I've started an egg tracker chart for my girls

I had a whopping eight eggs yesterday - even though one got eaten by someone and six of the others got dropped on the floor...............urg..............

Brian, you are not alone in your love of plants, haha. Sphinx has a crazy cool garden full of different-colored plants, and Birdman has a lovely garden, as well. I have to settle for houseplants right now, since I was without irrigation water this summer and the chickens eat anything I plant, anyway. I've currently got one big jade plant from my late grandma, two shamrocks, a maidenhair fern, a bulblet fern, two peace lilies, a bamboo plant, and another plant that I'm unsure of what it is. Looks like some kind of desert plant. I love plants

Some twitchy here...page kept locking up...my security software also was cleaning the crud out of my system while I was on this morning. Adware maybe? The ads on here have been messing with my head a little lately....

I run firefox with ad-blocker plus....no ads and no issues.

I sure don't miss the ads.

PIC OVERLOAD:

I got picture happy again this morning. I have been wanting to post the groups of the NN/SG and Marans/SG mixes that I hatched. ("the polka dot chicks") I just keep getting too busy...wanted you guys to see how they are progressing!

This is the oldest Group.

The white ones are from a maransmix (FBCM/Cuckoo parents) mom with my paint SG rooster (so funny they are getting crested heads!)

The black ones are from a NN turken mom and the same roo...no idea why these two do not have naked necks lol. One is a boy for sure.

See the red on top of the first one?

And one black NN down there next to that boy...

Then the chicks hatched yesterday. For sale
The Marans/SG cross is the white fully feathered one...the other two are NN/SG mixes

Then the middle batch...these are 2 weeks younger than those first oldest ones. having a hard time deciding who to keep.

The Marans/SG babies, there are two in this batch. I like the one with the spot by its eye alot.

There is the whole group, lots of SG looking babies...

This one is the sweetest. Nice bowtie too

This one is naaaaaaked necked

another favorite

They are kind of going through that ugly stage...( yes Sphinx those SG are always in the ugly stage LOL!) But I find them so intriguing haha I can't help it

Your babies are so pretty Lisa..I love the NN and SG..there was a time, I didn't. I wonder why that changed? ha ha...these old taste buds keep on changing, thought I would be set in my ways, but I'm finding that isn't the case as I get older..well, maybe in some things.

I got a nice white egg today from my Leghorn. Waiting on my sex link now. I'll be in the eggs again. Last night, I wanted something..I scrambled up a couple of eggs, shared some with the dogs, then put some salsa on mine, and had a treat. Yum!

Does anyone here breed Ameraucanas that would like a blue hen to add to their flock? She is pure and very pretty. I need to downsize my flock.



She's 16 months old and is still going through her molt for the year. I would really like to see her go to a breeder flock, as I believe that she has some good genetics to offer. She is free to anyone who can use her for breeding. If you're a ways away from me, I will gladly hold her for you.



Her legs are covered in mud here, but they are a dark blue color, not quite slate. She lays a pale blue egg, not green.

Lisa your chicks are super cute! I'm loving the SG's.

Cynthia I'm glad your leghorn laid for you skittles was in the best box all day today off an on, scratching around.. not long now. Yay my silkie has been doing the egg song and checking out the nest box as well but she hasn't laid yet. I'm hoping I will get 3 eggs tomorrow that would be so cool!

Red that ameraucana is very pretty! I'd take her if I didn't have so many chickens already
