YO GEORGIANS! :)

I hope your all staying cool and your birds too. I was filling my ducks pool yesterday before work and when my DH got home I called and asked him to put cool water in the pool for the ducks. He called and said all birds were kept cool since the yard was a swamp. I forgot to turn off the water. Man it ran for over 8 hours. I'm glad I have well water but the electric bill to run the pump. :he

Well we think our barred rock is a hen, but her tail feathers a little suspect. She is 5 months and her comb and waddles are small and pink. So fingers crossed it is a hen. Does anyone know about the sexlink? We have two a red and a black. The red as we call her is an Ostrich...has been big from the beginning...dwarfed all the chicks of the same age and no one messes with her. She has tiny pink waddles and comb, and hen tail feathers so we are pretty sure she is a hen, but she is a stinker. Nosy, talks all the time and follows us everywhere. Loves to be held. The black sexlink has a beautiful head and neck of a brownish gold and the rest of her is black but her tail feathers do not look like a hen is that normal? Ok so here you go hens or roosters?

On a more somber note, Lisa lost her Patridge Silkie boyfriend, Biff, sometime last night, so she was in tears this morning. He was Christopher's Silkie, so he wasn't happy about it either. This was one of those cases where a seemingly healthy, happy bird just drops dead for no apparent reason. He had a pen to himself, and was happy as a clam. When Lisa greeting him yesterday afternoon, as usual, he was so happy to see her; he dropped his wing and started hopping towards her sideways, doing his little happy dance. She found him lifeless in his pen this morning. This is the second favorite that she has lost in the past few months. :(

Tell Lisa how sorry I am to hear this. ((hugs)) If it will make her feel better to have a positive silkie update, the three y'all gave me are embracing their roles as group mothers to my 6 three week old white polish babies in a grow out. I knew these chicks needed some guidance and some "tamping down" so I handed them over to the undisputed mamas of the poultry world.

My heart goes out to her, so sad.
