Here are a few more
South Lodi Launch Ready for Take Off!
This pic is very questionable..
Me and Cody were goo gooing over the 2 new chicks.. I remember him saying..Wow.. Olive is big.. but I love that lil gray one!
So if Olive wasn't gray..
??
Here is a pic I just found..
The head spot in the newborn pics shows light at the front of the head, progressing to brighter as it goes towards the neck, and the light part seems to go down around the cheeks.
I only saw one blue egg chick come out of the shell and it was all gray with no white tips on the wings. Olive had tiny white tips.
This head spot seems to match, in my opinion.. but it has tufted cheeks! I think that is the Gray one I described above!
I'm wishy washy.. I know
Here is a shot of one that looks like a possible..
This could go on forever!
I'm feeling guilty for teasing you on the photographic evidence...
When they fluff up the differences in size and color get terribly muddled. I always think I will know--and I rarely do. And you had sooooo many to look at.
So true. And they change hourly!
So it's not just me??????????? LOL You knew it all along??????
Olive is lost forever???????
Oh noooooooooo!
Guess you will have to keep them all. Just have to rename all of them Olive then for sure you would have the right one, and hope they are not all roos.
Olive...come back! I guess Surreeybrit is right...gotta keep um all!
Surrey's right. Keep Olive them.
AAAAAAAAAAAahh ROFLMBO!!!! That was perfect Grow!!! Screamin funny!
Well.. the good part is.. we have it narrowed down to 3.. I think 2 of those are pullets.. so if that is the case, we are in luck.
I'm allowed 30 hens and one roo. go figure! On 5 acres on the outermost part of town..
Yeh--how we gonna do that, ZZ? I think I have a Turken cockerel hiding among the ladies.
I'm allowed 12 chickens. I have approaching 100....
But...but...Moxon--you're in Iowa! How can they do that to you in Iowa?
Well supposedly it's part of the "homeowners association" agreement, but we are the only home in it. Some of the area around us is for sale for potential development. When I asked the guys who own the land now about the 12 chicken thing, they laughed and said that they came up with those numbers over drinks one night, and it's fine as long as nobody complains. I pointed out that they had no llama llimit. They llaughed. I am allowed 4 sheep, 4 goats, 4 cows, 2 horses, 12 chickens. I have exceeded all but the cow and horse limits. I figure several mini goats=1 horse. It all balances out.
They have some ungainly animal unit formula around here-- you are allowed so many animal units per acre and it can be filled various ways. Horses are very animal unit expensive.
Stuff and nonsense I say!! !These limits are pure funky weirdness! HELLO Chicken and Livestock police we're talking farms!!!! ok ninja dahlianut is armed with blue smarties and very ticked off now! Just point me in the right direction my friends!
Start with Iowa! If you succeed there, we will engage your services in the darkest wilds of California.
Brilliant as always Catscan. Good place to start with Claire's knowledge of the legalities. Waiting for direction CPO Moxon
Only ONE roo Catscan? What have I got, 20? LOL
I have a lady Turken hiding in with the boys.. I think there is a Cuckoo Marans Lady too.. All I do is stare at them trying to figure it out.
Anyway, Don't they mean one roo of each breed? LOL
That is how I read it. One roo per breed--so as not to produce mutts that cannot be homed--except in Iowa where Moxon is the universal homer.
Oh Dear, The Homer Pigeon...{{groan}}
I can not even imagine how they come up with these crazy numbers and laws!
NY has the # per acre. Chickens there is no number...unless you are within the village limits, then the number is 0. Thankfully, I am not in the village. Those village people are tough! YMCA
Okay, getting goofy.
I am so happy Olive is down to 3! Good news ZZ!
OMG!!! Homer is a pigeon?? Wait till I tell Marge!
I have a dear friend Marge that lives in NY. She is not a pigeon, but she is a love.
Isn't Homer a great name? LOL The boy's names are the easiest for me to come up with..
Like I wanna name that lil Silkie Chuck (Chuck Norris)
Aww, D'I miss again? I thought pigeons were people who would take whatever you dished out?
Is Chuck really Buff?
Here, grownut....here, grownut....see the nice rock I found for you? Now pop right under and take a little rest:0)
Rock?! Where!?!........
LOL I love it.. I set you up good don't I? Tooo funny!
The Universal Homer? I'll go with Universal Rehomer. I don't want to be associated with the Simpsons in any way, shape or form.
Can't blame you on that one!
Outta touch me, I forgot the Simpsons -eeewwww. (back under rock)
Is Chuck really Buff? ROFLOL!
Yeah Sewincircle! Wasn't that a riot!!?? What about keep Olive them.. LOL
You know I always thought the joy in punning was watching others suffer while the punner punned. Sadistic sport. But if y'all can put up an' grimace along with....(deh, heh-heh heh...) My brain's a wild and woolly place these days...
I think you are very punny Grow! Wild and woolly? Sounds dangerous! hehehe
Just nobody get out the shears!! I bleat horribly!!lolol
