I have a pretty bad sinous headache right now so if I don't seem as entusiastic as usual or quick instead of rambly like normal....the excedrin hasn't kicked in yet haha.
Starting to get a steady stream of customers interested in my coturnix eggs that should be going full force here in a few weeks *yay*. I'm getting 3-5 eggs a day now. Two from my A & M pen, 1 from my golden pen maybe two but it's hard to say because of when I collect them, and if I'm not mistaken 2 from my brown pen. Now everyone just needs to start layin and I'll be getting something like 12 a day. Would be more but my tuxedo and golden pen is low right now (youngsters and eggs developing on the way to change that).
Also planning on getting ANOTHER set of pens here soon, making or buying them. Making them myself would be best, but buying a pen from someone else would be easier ofcourse..but not really as we have no way to transport it here unless I bug my mom which I hate doing lol! Our jeep just isnt meant for lugging home scratchy wirey pens it barely fit my huge incubator! :)
I got some secrets in the works only a few know about in reguards to coturnix.....so just keep your eyes out. They're not here yet, but will be. *makes evil sneer*. Suffice to say it'll be some great new genetics.
My marans are growing like HORSES....I'll have to add a picture of them...well I have pictures of them from a few days ago I can add when a redtailed hawk swooped down on me and them while out in the fence (hawk didnt notice me until it almost pounced on the chicks that were on my lap and legs *faints*). It luckily noticed me there at the last second and had to fight to get air to get away from me. I would have punched it had it had any sucess at my chickies! :( Protected species...protect my poultry *growls*.
That's a picture of Boot the Funny Farms Cockerel from the C1 bloodline of Wade Jeane (sp?) everyone spells that poor mans name wrong...I probably am too so... there. LOL. A chick from my friend Belinda of Ninjapoodles (screen name and her dog breeding website name if I'm not mistaken) who I thought may be a pullet and most deffinatly is a cockerel. I finnally named.. "PokerFace". I love the new song pokerface by Lady Gaga, and since this cockerel bluffed me...it sounded appropriate. :D
Heres PokerFace just about 2 days ago walking around on my incubator top. Still sorting out his baby fluff, and looking oh so handsome! He's goin to be a gorgeous roo! *love* That creepy looking blue thing in the back is a caramic (sp?) castle tower (like what the witch hides the princess in) I made in highschool artclass...it makes a great paperweight! :) It's actually quite cute but looks pretty funky there and if anyones as curious as me you may have wanted to know what in the world that was. The pointy things are whitetail antlers.
Lets see and heres more pictures of the Funny Farms Trio. First is of Boot again, if you look closely in this pic you can see the coppering coming in on the back of his neck...he has more now but its' not been nice enough to let them out for pictures and such since this day. Well I take that back there was one nice day but I just penned them out and didnt baby sit and take pictures had too much else to do. You try having hundreds of eggs in your bator, some of which were "sold" and that are now available again because I never heard back from some people *pulls hair out* lol and having to rush around and make for sale ads everywhere and tell me if you always have time for piccies! :D Cleaning brooders daily takes me about a half hour, turning eggs about 6 mins, feeding them all, another half hour, collecting the bit of eggs, house chores, yelling at the cats to get off counters, feeding again, changing waterers, posting ads, yelling at the cats....yeah it makes for a busy me. :D
That's Scoot, she's an angel I love her to peices! Always wants to be right with me first to me everytime as long as she can battle the others to get there in time. :D
This Boogie she's a bit shy but Scoot is making her come around with me. She all but smothers me if I have mealwormies to share. :)
And even though it's not as pretty this small....while up there that day a quail feather blew out of one of the pens (prob brown pen more than likely) and landed on some leaves so I took a piccie. :D
I will update pictures when buttons, coturnix, bobwhites, rhode island reds, and crosses hatch.......im going to be engulfed! LOL!
And last but not least! My buddy Brian finnally made a blog himself and heres the link to it if you'd like to keep up with another birdie entusist! :D http://bsafflesfarms.webs.com/apps/blog/
