well son says yes come spend the night, so we will.
And I can always wash MOT there in his bath tub if MOT decides to get poopy.
White birds are so hard to keep clean !
I am not pulling any feathers either..just bring the big dummy as is.
So, now I have to band him and enter him !

So I was just curious where to get a Marans egg color guage? Thanks.

I think I made the right decision, you guys will LOVE MOT, he is awesome !
RFF told me the judges can really help me in breeding him true to SOP, so he is going to the show, big white snow chicken !!
I am glad that you all will get to meet him, as in the Cloverleaf Crele chantecler, MOT is a rare breed, and a very beautiful bird.
Satuesque...and a big giant baby too.

Just remember that it will be the opinion of ONE judge, and how he interprets the standard for Mot's breed.

In other words, take whatever they say / how they place him with a grain of salt. It's nice to win or place high, but the next judge could place the same bird last, and vice/versa. Though after the judging, you can ask them specifically what they think of him!!

At least you have a house !

Speaking of which, I had a profound realization a few days ago....(insert lightbulb here !!!)
You all know we cannot get our building permit until we have a well, right ?
And we drilled and came up with a dry hole, right ?
So we are having a vault well dug whenever the guy gets here to do it, but in the mean time I got ticked that we have had to waite a year to build..so I thought, you do not need to have a well do build a chicken coop, or a barn, even if it is over 10 X 10...just a building permit...DANG!! Why didn't I think of that before ?

So soon as the snow is over, I am marching my happy fanny down to the building & planning Dept and showing them my engineered barn plans and announceing that I need a permit to build my barn.

I have a farm! I am building a barn..and after it is inspected & signed off, we can move in and finish the insides...!!!

Barns do not have to have water or a well, the goats do not care !!!

That is the whole idea..and next year I hope to have his offspring a little better SOP.

Wouldn't you know it would do this just when my baby trees finally arrived. We haven't had nearly as much as you have, but ti's more than I want to be out digging in.
