A friend sent me this and I thought you all might enjoy it.
A chick by any other name...
Awwwwwwww Cajun that is sure a cute pic. ! True Mothers don't usually see colors or shapes........ Guess love really is blind......:)
to cute!
You've made my day! That's just downright sweet. =0)
And that pair is in a high tunnel, Cajun... so there's another thing you can do with 'em.
Jay
I hadn't even noticed. It doesn't suprise me that you did. You have had high tunnels on the brain for quite a while now. How is yours coming along? Did you take a break from construction to make cheese?
Somebody's going to have an identity crisis...
Ginger
LOL... hen-pecked pup? I'll bet it'll be one heck of a guardian for that flock. =0)
We did the cheese while it was warming up outside. I've definitely been dreaming of high tunnels. LOL
That is to funny! I love that pic!!! I wonder if I stick a puppy under my broody girls if they would mind????!!! I dont think I will try, I have dads eggs under mine. hehehe Thanks for the smile!
Your Dad's eggs? What color eggs does your Dad lay? LOL

ROTFL.......If you asked my husband he would say goldens ones for me to buy garden supplies with..
Ginger
Like that picture
Oh how cute! Love the pic!!!!!!!
LMBO, Okay, my dad did not lay the eggs himself. His precious chickens did all that for him. hehehe But boy, you just put a giggle in my wiggle today! Thanks!

What kind of chickens does your Dad have?
He has RIR, honeys, barred rocks, and austrolorps. I am not sure which egg is which. And my chickens have managed to stick a couple extras of there own in there. hehehe 3! LOL
What are honeys?
He calls them honeys. I think they are really Buff Orps. He just calls them, Red chickens, Honey chickens, Black and white chickens... LOL
Oh, that makes sense. The Buff do look like honey.
He cracks me up! He really does not care what kind they are. He knows they lay a lot of eggs.
And they are sweet natured hens.
Unless they get broody... then they'll draw blood.
We called Buff "Golden Pigs" because they eat SO much!
Ginger
I think the meanest setting hen must be a bantam. Must be akin to that small dog syndrome.
I got ANOTHER broody hen today. Three out of four nesting boxes taken up with them. :/
What breeds do you have setting?
I have a bunch of broody girls too, even the mallard duck. 2 Sumatras, 2 marans, 1 wht cochin, 1 faverolle and probably a few more. I have up to 4 girls trying to get in 1 box. Crazy! Spring has sprung.
I have my blue girl STILL, my barred rock mix, and NOW a big black maran mix. All barnyard specials. But man do they set! UGH!!!
Thanks for my new desktop decor, Cajun!!
My pleasure. Glad you all enjoyed it.
Try five for size! One light colored one in the pic has her little head burried. Problem is - they are supposed to be laying me some more eggs to hatch. Who was it that said Seramas don't tend to go broody - fiddlesticks!
Oh no!!! 5, thats just not right! Egg strike I believe. :( There goes the hatching eggs. They sure are pretty birds.
I know--these birds just don't read the books...my Golden Sebright went broody for two months and then hatched out a Barnevelder. They are not suppose to be broody at all either. The only thing that snapped her out of it was hatching the chick.
Hey Maineiac!!! Love the pic, I can't think of anything that has made me laugh as much as the craziness of some of these goofy birds. And then there are those crazy bird owners. With all the birds you have, and the hatching you do, your still biding on auction eggs. What's up with that??? If we did not know better we'd all think your some kind of Maineiac.LOL Did I say Maineiac??? Hmmm. Haystack.
And oh yes, If you should want or need any of your birds sexed?? I hear tell that Sewing Circle (AKA JeanMarie) is in to that sort of thing, Vent Sexing. Hmmm.
Ugnt uhhh! I would rather look at the wattles! LOL remember???
What a precious picture.
sewin looking at wattles?
LOL
At least they are on the face!!! LMBO
Yeah, rubbing chicks between yur cheeks.... well now, that was a picture. LOL
Either sucking face with a chick or....
LMBO
