Oh no! Im sorry! Something get him? Nice turkey eggs! And I did think of chicapee but I don't think she has posted here. Beautiful RPs she has. Everyone around me does the Apple stuff, but I think I started with the windows stuff to have my spreadsheets, which weren't available on iphones, way back when. Ans I like being different lol! Dont have much fun app choices, but saves me from buying a bunch of crap I don't need anyway. I didn't even have a data plan on my first smartphone, until they forced me. Happy Friday everyone!!

Think a possum... someone forgot to clean out some old eggs outta the hospital cage and it found a nasty surprise last night... 3 of them, lol... trap is set once again... the boy sucks cuz he was Merry's son... not a correct Lemon Blue but I was trying to breed him back to her to see if I could get it correct again... never happened, her eggs are super hard to hatch and she doesn't lay often...

Awesome on the eggs. Sorry about your boy. The eggs will be readily identifiable for life as to who laid them.

Cool! Now if I can ever actually catch one laying, I'll be golden... I swear they're the most self conscious layers I have ever seen... or NOT seen, lol...

and i am sure your ducks miss you, and you need to lock down your calls like this, dark brown but speckled tummy, the tuft is cute but i dont care about that

nice turkey eggs! very pretty sorry about your blue boy i think someday i will try turkeys again glad she is clear, i hate those stupid bugs! hope everyone fares well

That's a blue bibbed from mixed colors... the bib can vary from a clear small bib, to large and extended, to speckled, etc... and a shading of fawn color over the blue can happen as well... and yes, there are crested as well, but I'll never, ever breed those... crests are caused by a hole in the skull with tissue sticking out of it... it is hit or miss on hatching survival along with hit or miss neurological issues in the survivors... I have many varied blue bibbed in my flock... I'll see if I can find the range of colors and patterns...

Well, I'm selling my 2 lavender orpington cocks on Monday. I hatched those boys, so its a bitter-sweet deal. Was planning to process them this weekend, because 2 of my 11-week olds are getting big enough to replace the older ones now, and I was dreading it. But I got a text yesterday wanting one...... and she decided to take both, since they have lived together since hatch. So Yeah! They are 16 months old and going to a place where they will have 35 hens to share. I hope they continue to share well, and take care of their new girls.

Always sucks to replace, but super glad they're getting an awesome home!

Need I say more.

Nope... way too many of those anymore... :/

someone will tie my shoes for me??!!!!??!??!

Yup... but you can't share my window on the short bus... that's mine to lick and I don't like sharing...

Oh, I love the crested look, just not the side effects... DIS is hard enough to deal with in the breeds I raise, getting babies with a good chance of issues is much rougher... a BYC member has a crested Pekin drake named Tevye and he's one of my faves ever!

Blue bibbed and a silver bibbed, overly bibbed...

Smaller, more clear bibbed in middle...

Also getting this color in the front right that I'm not sure what it is yet too...

Yeah, similar coloring... except I have NO chocolate in my flock, lol... fawn, but not chocolate...

The juvie that looks like yours is a pure Snowy... I do have Snowy mixes that look similar to yours... or at least the female I have looks EXACTLY like Peep!

You are such a poultry enigma.
I get so confused keeping up with your bird color genetics. Note: Not chocolate, fawn, but that's ducks. Lavender AMs split to black...etc....
