UH yea that looks like a Nubian to me. I think it's just the angle of the drawing, you can't see the roman nose as well, but, it's ok, I LOVE the logo and if people want to see what I have they can go to the website, I will be taking individual pics of the girls and Eddie too!
She looks a lot like my Prime! The way the white is on her face, gives the impression her nose isn't rounded out.. that's all, no biggie!! You can tell in this live picture she does for sure!!

DH is leaving for yet another trip to visit NorCal in the morning...so we are packing up stuff & getting shopping doen.
he will be home Sunday at the latest.
He WILL draw out plans for you all to see as soon as he can.

And after the 5th of next month, I will have 2 broody Buckeye hens each has 12 eggs and a broody Java with 11 eggs, all hatching at once, and all will be up for adoption (although I will leave each hen a few babies to raise.

Turkey hen is also broody, so will be letting her rasie 6 of her eggs...........and now Splash Lucy (ameraucana) is screaming broody too !!!!!!!!!

Next thing ya know, the dog will go broody !!!!!!!!!!!!

This chicks are up for adoption or the hens?? LOL!! I think it's good the turkey hen is broody don't you?? That's a good sign!

It is said that broodiness is their heritage & ingrained in all heritage breeds, the ability to self procreat & set and hatch out their own kind.
So...you'll be able to take the others but this girl is dead set against getting moved off her nest.now I have to figure out how to make it a bit more secure against night predators as she is setting in a lean to up on the hill, go figure !

Ugg... what an day it has been already... Been feeling sick today, stomache is not happy at all. My lower back is very achey, and its making me feel nautious.
Been trying to work on the girls room as much as possible, but the rest of the house is deffinately lacking. Got one side of Chloe's toy hammock hung up, then had issues getting the second hanger into the wall! AGG!!! Just to high for this prego lady to reach and succeed. So called my younger taller brother to come rescue the wall. If I would have kept going on my own, I'm sure there would be a hammer hole in the wall by now. BUT there is a floor in the girls room again! yeay for that at least.

My sister brought over her 19 year old adopted son, to move more gravle for me. Gotta get the pile moved so I can get the trailer out for another hay run... Ugg.

Recieved a call from my equine vet this morning... she says the diareah issue Im having with my mare is stemming from salmonila. "sp?" she sudgested iether locking the chickens up full time, or getting rid of them, as they are most likely the cause.

I just dont know what to do at this point.

Wheazy's biopsy came back, and she's good to go. No cancer in the tumor. Im thankfull for that.

Im grumpy, feeling sick, and very unmotivated today. I just want to curl up back in bed and try to get comfy... Oh poo for me.

Sorry to come on and grump about my day. But the only person I have here at the moment is a 3 year old... As fun as she can be, she's not much for conversing.

Hope everyone is doing better than I am today.
