Thanks! He is a Smokey Grey. You have beautiful birds Garret!! Thanks Laura! Sad to say that he got out and got himself killed by dogs before I could get him caught back up...... I went up in the hills last weekend and picked up a couple of Weed Monkeys.....

I went up in the hills last weekend and picked up a couple of Weed Monkeys..... I am sorry about your bird being killed by the bad dogs. That is sad. When we had our old birds..Tank our departed dog..would pick up any that may have been taken down by a dog or other creature..once he picked up one of our roosters & was using it as a feather pillow. dtb

So sorry about your bird Garret, Hope all the others are all ok!! Everything is fine down at the barn, the birds I have here are doing great, thanks! I`m hoping my little pullet will go broody here shortly, she has a dozen eggs in her nest. And my other birds over at my friends farm are doing good too! He has them in his brood pens. Here is a pic from this morning.....

Thanks Spuds and w8in! That girl went broody on Monday and when she got off of the nest yesterday to eat, I did a rough count on eggs....she has at least 15. I put the Roo in another pen so she has the run of the big pen to herself.

Nice Spuds!! We had a few chickens last year and something got all but one! We gave that last one to my daughter and she gave it to her neighbor, was over there the other day, neighbor came over with a dozen eggs and said the nice big dark eggs are from the chicken that came from us They want to get more of that breed calld Isa Brown , I think .... Any hoo loved having chickens!! Just seems if it isn't raccons, owls, it is something eles getting them!! So we opt for getting eggs from people that have chickens
