Wanted to show you this....remember I have a "sport" Crele Chantecler ???????????? Wellll, he was lonely, so 6 mo ago I gave him a Black Copper hen for company...and hatched this out: HE IS SO PRETTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS PRETTY-ER than his Daddy ! Here is his Daddy: Notice, Daddy's colora are not near as VIBRANT, as the Marans' son, and Dady has that awful white on his tail AND a light (but barred) breast.......... COOL....so now I have a full blown marans Crele project AND a Chantecler Crele project...and will have scores of eggs I gotta hatch to get just the perfect ones.....................

Oh, nice, indeed!

We are on our way home from Olympia with honeysuckle hills, sudsy chick and terror bird. We saw Sadie sue's play, based upon the movie resevoir dogs. She was wonderful! We went out for a nice meal with her sister and mother as well, and I even got a nice hug and kiss from her mother . She was very sweet.

I also received the email about advertising in my posts, which I dont think I've ever done. This is the only thread that I ever post on at BYC, someone here must be complaining . Slinglings is my user name everywhere and always has been, even before my business, so it's not like I'm going to change it now.

Hi Washington Peeps!

My hubby got relocated to Leavenworth Wa from Spokane... We're having a difficult time finding housing... I have a place for all my chickens so we are down to finding 3+ bedroom house for under $2000 a month within 30 mins from town... You'd think that'd be a breeze huh?... NOPE!! Been looking for about a month to no avail...

Does anyone have or know of any solutions for us? We have perfect rental history! Feel free to private message me!

Thank you! Thank you!!

Nicole, Keith, and Family

Good news!! After poking around in search of signs of a vent on the not so pretty Langshans' one of them decided, they prefer to be Boys! yes, literally 5 minutes after I set the lil begger down..

Anyone want some roosters that don't know how to crow?

Newbie question! What does the golden and platinum feather mean under people's username?

Note: tired people make bad decisions. I've averaged under six hours of sleep a night for the past week, and have been going flat out on projects for two.

I was out finishing up chores and had just put the sheep's oatmeal and apple in his feed pen and then put the eggs (nine, out of eight chickens. Malvina laid two eggs between 7pm last night and 5pm today, and one a day yesterday, Friday, and Thursday) into the oatmeal scoop to take them in the house. The sheep walked calmly up to me so I just let him loose, with a plastic scoop full of eggs in one hand and no crook to enforce my authority in the other.

I'm sure the crescent shapped horn bruises on my right shin will heal by the wedding, right? And I'm sure my right arm will be fine by Thursday, after using it to power him away from me and stay upright while I did so. I outweigh him by a LOT (Jacobs are not big sheep!) but he's got the four wheel drive thing going for him.

I wasn't thinking. He was pissy when I pegged him out, and more pissy when I moved him with his chain exactly long enough not to be able to reach any of the roses, and I had no business letting him loose when I had my left hand full of eggs and my right hand empty of the crook. STUPID. If he had wanted to break my leg instead of just express his displeasure, he could have done so.

O Boy you just squeaked by on that one!
