Is it just me, or are others here having troubles posting this morning? It takes forever for a page to load.

Well, I'm off to take DD to her harp lessons, and then DS to soccer camp, and then DD to soccer practice (she was going to go to camp as well, but cancelled when she saw they do 10 hours of physical activity per day - 6.5 hours of soccer plus stretching, hiking and swimming. She prefers to sit and paint).

Maybe this will be fixed by the time I return - I will have a few minutes to pop in here and there.

Yes I have noticed some issues the last couple of mornings. OOOp's that's about clear as a mud pie. The issues with posting.

Has anybody seen a chicken or duck with a tail end that vears to one side?
Can these birds lay eggs?
I have a blue duckling that is like that. (Lefty Lucy) LOL.

It's called wry tail. Technically not a desired trait at all, but they still can breed and all.

My chickens are still going after the huckleberries in the yard. I just picked the strawberries off my JUNE BEARING plants this morning! I have one blueberry bush with a few ripe berries, but the other 29 bushes are all green.


I want a summer re-do

You sound like me, LOL - My blueberries are absolutely pathetic, the strawberries gave nothing - lots of em died due to drought honestly, which is the strangest thing to say out here.

The only things doing well are what grows in the greenhouse and what grows in my hay bales. (volunteer zucchini and lots of colored potatoes)

Oh geeze.
I actually got one from my show breeders this spring and another one from my Holderrread SQ ducklings.
Lucy is cute. Just hope the blue eggs don't warp to the left too. LOL
If I breed her, will she pass the tail down to her babies too?

Welcome! I am pretty new here too! Still in the coop building stage, which we are doing before we get the chickens. That seems to be the opposite of most folks here. Which comes first, the chicken or the coop? Here, it seems to be the chickens, lol!

Hope to be able to aquire the pullets in a couple weeks!
