I went to check on my isolation pen last night, has two birds in it born 12/24/12, and... I FOUND AN EGG!!! After inspecting vents I discovered it was my showgirl pullet Chrystal! I guess I'll trim up Eve, her crest is huge, and put them back in with the adult birds in my larger improved run...

The only camera I have right now is an SLR film Minolta I picked up at a yard sale for $20. So unless you want to see photos taken from an iPhone 3 that had a "vacation" in Afghanistan for 8 months with a husband who is rough on equipment, no, I don't have a digital camera right now.

I'll check it out! The photo used in my profile picture was taken with my military camera. I use to have an iPhone 4s, loved the camera on it, but it is either lost or was stolen from my husband's van, if you saw inside, you would understand the lost or stolen thing...

I can't get on CL here at work, stupid firewalls..., to share the post, but it had a lot of fixed lenses and quite a few zoom as well as a fisheye! I couldn't play with the 10mm fisheye we had in the shop enough to get a good feel for it, but MAN! were the photos cool! I remember one time me and...

I told my husband that I was secretly looking at cameras at work, so he hopped on CL last night and found a Nikon D300 with 10 different lenses, all Nikkor for less than 1k. So now we are working on saving up some money, I think we'll just buy used. I am so used to the Nikon/Nikkor lenses. I...

I was spoiled with the cameras in the military. The only problem is I couldn't keep one . Maybe I'll ask my family for the cannon for xmas and my birthday. I just want to get back into digital photography. I think it and caring for animals was my calling in life. eta:I forgot you were in...

Aoxa, I love looking at all your photos! I have to ask, what type of camera do you use? I used to shoot with a Nikon D700 while in the military, and after looking at the cost of said camera, I am setting my "wants" much lower and looking at the D90 or D200. Your photos are so stunning, I may...

That's the thing, I haven't seen him try. I am at work from 8:30 to 6:30 during the week, so if he is trying, the two hours of free range time aren't really enough to see if he is trying. I do know the hens look fine, no large amount of feathers missing, and they all seem to stay around him when...

Here's a good question for the seasoned veterans, after a young roo starts to crow, approximately how long until he gets the hang of doing his "manly duties"? I have a 6 m/o who has the most amusing crow, but I'm not sure if he has caught on to his other responsibilities as the man of the coop.

I have trimmed the muff, may look into getting some hair tape for her crest, I would really like to show her, but I have had so many problems with her when trying to integrate her into the white pen I have with 12-ish adult birds. I know my husband has been looking for some diapers for her and...

After being over 100 pages behind, I'm caught up! My husband has to be the worst chicken enabler that I know... I got off of work yesterday and let my white pen and my momma's and babies, well, when all the whites shuffled out, I saw one slinking out, completely covered in mud (We have had a...

I guess I had the exception to that rule... One hen I had never went broody, but if I put her next to some guinea keets, turkeys, duck and even chickens she would raise them. The first few hours of introducing them were supervised, but we never had an issue when it came to her raising them. She...

24 home grown eggs go in lock down tomorrow!

I got board last night and candled the 28 eggs I have baking. Only 4 showed no signs of development. They are all shaped and colored the same, now to discover which hen needs a butt fluff trim!

Thanks PeepBlessed! That's what I was looking for! I had this on my old computer but my husband said it was no good and got me a new one without transferring all my stuff over.

Could someone please refresh my memory, I can't get on to the genetics mixer page, Splash over Black=? I just got a pair of splash for my blacks and forgot what they produce... Thanks!

Well, he is a stay at home husband (He was medically retired from the military, so he does still get a pay check). So he has all the time to build and buy things. It's funny, I give him a shopping list and he has a ball getting everything and more!

Hello, my name is Rae. I am a silkie-holic. I take time off work to get new birds, then spend over $25/bird at auction... More than two rows of pens put together... My husband is an enabler, and carpenter, and food shuttle. On another note, the two birds I got yesterday are just short of...

It doesn't look like a SG to me... It's neck is naked in the wrong spots! Normally the ones I hatch look like they are wearing helmets, this one just has too much fluff on the back of it's head from what I can tell. Maybe it has some other sort of genetic defect that would cause a spars amount...

That is awesome Sanna! Congrats!
