So when is the barn raising mama?
A good Fall potluck is just what we all need! Then the newer peeps will get to meet all the crazy folks! And if they make their own thread after meeting us I would NOT be shocked!!

I hope y'all stick around!! But just a warning---- your therapist bill will sky rocket!

Yeeesssss!!!!!! Finally I get to do this, I've been waiting forever to use this guy!! ---->

Looks alot like a Cream Legbar ?

Yeah .. bigger bird tho since there is no Leghorn in the 'recipe'

That other boy was a bully and a predator and hopefully your son now understands that true friends don't do that. I would be beyond POd too if I saw what you saw.
It seems it's always the exceptional kids that have difficulty fitting in. Your boys will find their niche, and then they will excel.

I sure hope so. My oldest is really into LEGOS, robotics, and building mechanical things. We're doing our best to put him in the position where he has access to do what he loves.

We still haven't figured out what our youngest's interests are. So, we just continue to expose him to as much as we can and hope for the best. Both our boys have high I.Q.s, but our youngest is in the top 2%. Our brains just don't function the way his does - and it is really difficult to try and figure him out. I tell you, that kid out-smarts us on a daily basis.

So I got back on here to post pics of my three hatchery stock.... (but, man, this thread is movin' today!)

Here's my girls - the same three in my avatar. Sorry the pictures aren't very good. I took them this morning. They are 20 weeks old (I think, I lost count). They're not in the mood to pose for me. It seems whenever I come out with a camera, they dive into the bushes.

They are Reber Ranch babies...

Caunnie - my EE. Not laying yet...

Ignore the lousy corn. We were gone to Idaho & Yellowstone for 12 days during the hottest days - I'm about ready to pull it all out. It looks bad. But, I haven't pulled it out yet because the chickens love to play in it.



Drama - my Light Brahma. She probably won't lay for quite a few more months. She's still a young-un in the Brahma world. She might not lay until next Spring. She's not showing much in the way of turning red yet. And, her feathers are still coming in. She looks a ruffled mess quite often (but an adorable ruffled mess!

). She's so funny looking when she runs. You can't help but laugh! And, she's FINALLY learning to fly. She gets a little bit of air now!



Rhodie, my Rhode Island Red - who didn't want her picture taken to save her life! She is my only layer. She has laid 1 each day for the past 5 days. She's laid 8 total.




This is what you can expect from $2.50 birds from Reber Ranch. I'm happy with them. I'm sure they probably have quite a few flaws if compared to the SOP.

Drama is gorgeous!! Wow! I love reading all your posts about her, she sounds like quite the character!

Yes you do! Which Silkie cockerel would you like? You get your choice of colors!

TOO FUNNY!!! I have a bad feeling that most of my Silkie chicks are boys, that means they will need to be rehomed

I was reading, elsewhere, that boy/girl ratio- this year is 70% boys.......... Is that a normal year?

Here is their "Chickville" area and they list what is going on- regarding chickens (http://www.wilco.coop/stores/chickville ). The really cool part is that they post photo's, of the Breeds they carry-- adult photo next to that same chicken as a chick.

The scary part is they are too close to me and I (think) I heard on the radio that chicks are bogo. That could really spell trouble!!!!

Okay, I'll bite what is "bogo"??
