Looks like a roo to me comb and wattles pinking up!

I definitely see the comb... But where are you seeing wattles? I'm a noob who only physically found the crop last night so I could totally be missing it ;-) but he's only 3-4 weeks

That jasmine tea sounds wonderful! I'll take mine with a smidgen of honey, or maybe you'd like to join me for some rooibos with fresh grated ginger in it? I make it in a french press.

With all this talk of tea, I must show off my new $2.99 acquisition from Goodwill. I've been looking for a replacement kettle since I left mine on the stove a few months ago and burned it up, warping the bottom. The one DH bought at Big Lots had such a flimsy bottom it made metal pinging noises when it heated up- not a proper kettle. This one has a nice thick base


I'm off to make some rooibos- can't decide if I want to make a batch with those tiny rose buds for the rose petal flavor, (still have some in freezer from Oly Co-Op's bulk section) or fresh grated ginger. Love hot tea on a cold day!

I have a bale of Rioobies tea..........so sweet and awesome, but I have to be in the mood for it.
My friend Monte Bowen, LOVES SMOKED teas........GAK ! Have you ever tried that ??????????????????

We now have 6 baby chicks... I thought I would post a few pics!

You should have more splash & blues...but keep me posted !!!!!!!!!!

***************** From your pictures here, it looks like a few BLUES are in there~~~~~~~~~~~~

8 chicks !!!

You DO KNOW that Maria Hall charges $100 a doz for her eggs right ??????????????
I thought that an insane price, and so that is how you came upon these beautiful babies !!!

 

[Chickielady]

Sheesh - maybe you could tape a note to the box that says "bring back the carton for a re-fill'.

DUH I agree !
If no refill, then there will be no refill !

Glad to be of help; it's a great locally-owned store, and although I'm glad I can go and smell the ambiance, they do a roaring mail-order business in both teas and tea paraphernalia. I was going to point out that there's at least one dynamite tea place in Missoula, but driving US12 to get there isn't exactly a short trip, is it? It has the advantage of not having to deal with 90 across the interminable emptiness of Lincoln County (better in the daytime than at night, when the fact that there's fifteen minutes with no visible residential nor business lights gets sort of eery).

Have to show you my new tea pot I got last week. Little shop near here has weekly specials and I got this one for $2.00 I could not resist. not such great pics my wrist is acting up with this hot and cold running weather.

Nifty!

You are all being hard to get along with .......YA KNOW ?????????????????

Some of us old women just have our ways, and they work, and are not measured.......sheeeeeeeeeeeesh !!!

Me, but just to pick up a rooster and see what's going on.

If you look at the first pic of him, the very back corner of his beak right below that you see a little pinkish tab of flesh that will grow out to be his wattles when he is full grown. Hope this helps
