Also, I had my camera with me most of the day, but between the weather and the utter hatefulness of trying to deal with cold, stiff plastic single-handed I didn't get a chance to use it. From early this morning to when I fed cooked rice at 5:45 or so, Maggie's weird little "paintbrushes" have enfurled to being obviously proper silver spangled female saddle feathers.

She is pretty! See, I need one that color.

Yes you do!

She is one of my favorites

She is really sweet - and she talks to me by "honking" LOL Although I bought eggs I that were supposed to be purebred Ameracauna I was told by someone that would know better than I that she had traits as a chick that point to EE. She was hatched from a really blue egg, as was her sister Blackberry. Both of them should start laying any day, I cannot wait!

She (Blueberry) looks to me to be a Blue Ameraucana.
Edited to add: She has very nice lacing.
Shanks & toes slate & all...I have alot of them

bred to a Marans would give you an excellent Olive egger...and watch for OEs to have just a smige of feather on their shanks.
Other than that, my OEs look like my Ameraucanas

DH and I will be camping at the fairgrounds, and I managed to arrange for tickets to the Sat. dinner. I hope to put faces to as many names as possible.

Skamania? Are you meaning Stevenson or is there something else going on?

There is a sliver of a chance I may make it to Stevenson. I really want to go because I heard they were having Seramas. I know....they are useless...but I am rapidly fallling in love with them. I get eggs from the other birds...fun from these little guys.

Oh!

I would go to Yakima Friday night (4-5 hours) and then to Stevenson inthe morning (2.5 hours south).
But I have so much work to do around here to get ready for winter. Also, I need someone where to watch critters and kids...DH may be gone visiting his brother (who may or may not be over here hunting). DH won't even know until Friday. So mine will be absolutely LAST SECOND if I do get to go. Anyone wearing their BYC shirts? I figured I would wear mine if I got to go.

eta: I don't think I am contagious any more....
