Hi Phil!

 

[frmboyinthecity]

Sounds like a good plot. And yeppers, you should call your dad - there's a fishing trip to be arranged, if my memory serves me correctly

Yeah, I still haven't convinced him to go yet, but I'm working on it still!

Thanks, dear!



Thanks, FB! What are you up to for your week of vacation?

An anniversary trip and then going to my folks house to see the eclipse. Should be fun!

Hi everyone. So far behind again. Hope you all have been misbehaving as usual!

I have not been misbehaving! I am an angel, always have been and always will be...I am a natural role model for you miscreants.

Hi Phil!

Howdy I'm finally getting caught up myself..... Just in time to go do something useful but with my day.

I soooooo much want to see the eclipse.... But that's the weekend Mason comes up to spend the last part of summer.
My wife is actually looking forward to going to the fair with me this year.... Just us.
Almost like a date.....I hope she keeps going forward..... Clinical depression really sucks.

Seriously thinking of throwing in the Marans towel.
None of my girls lay very dark eggs (all from good breeders and dark hatching eggs, so no fault there), one of them is a perpetual broody, and the splash "female" that was looking so good (chooks man really liked her), has, in a matter of the last two weeks, shown that she is really a "he" (early featherer, late bloomer).
So... guess I'm going to just call them all "pet quality" and step off the bus.

I hatched 2 a few months ago. A black copper male, and a blue female. I'm still waiting for her to lay, but asked a friend if I should expect lighter colored egg from the blue female (lighter than black coppers, etc, since I knew his cuckoo's lay lighter than the BCMs) His theory is that all the beautiful dark pictures we see are in the very early stages of a hen's laying. They lighten up over time. Well... correction... they start light, then darken, then lighten back up.

He also says that only 1 in 10 is a keeper, and getting good males *and* good females from the same parents is almost impossible. Find a combination that gives you good males, and another pen with a different combination for good females.

Yea,... in other words, I'm not breeding them either. My couple will stay yard birds. Although I'm still dying to see her egg!

Not so gentle. Seems a few of the Indians are on the warpath.
