RE: southside get together.

It's getting too late in the season for a covered area in a statepark I think.
I wouldn't mind a potluck but I can't host such a thing. (think 2 guys/house keeping. My eldest son lives with me and truthfully he's a slob, worse then me even.) It couldn't be outside I have no patio or even a picnic table. My wife wasn't very big on eating outside so I never bothered.
But I'm willing to travel for such an event.

Took a few cellphone pics today. Here's our whole flock. Left to right: Gertrude (breed unknown, she's molting), Maggie (GL Wyandotte, our laying machine), Salma (Wellsummer, our flock leader), Effie & Bonnie (my two beloved hatchery "Exchequer Leghorns" who are taking their sweet time starting to lay):




Wasn't easy to get this close! Leghorns are flighty:






The crappy coop we're replacing:

Just thought I would share some of my work. When I put a few pairs together a few months ago, I didnt realize how popular feather earrings are!

OMG, your birds are so gorgeous!!! Love that Buttercup comb! Wish I could get EEs. Not only are the eggs pretty, but I don't think people give the birds themselves enough credit for beauty. I love the variation!

If I wore something like that, my girls would try their hardest to gobble those feathers right down!

Your earrings are pretty cool!

Your birds are stunning too.
Why can't you get EEs?


ChickenJane,
Nice job on the earrings, they are beautiful, if only my ears were still pierced.

Well, we can only have three more and I've got my heart set on Hamburgs (can't get any till spring, though). We need the top-notch feed conversion and superb survival skills, and I actually have an affinity for the craziest, flightiest of breeds, LOL. One day when I live out in the country I will get some EEs!

I had to google Hamburgs. They are incredibly beautiful.
