Chicken portraits and pictures- lets see 'em

Here's a better pic of Partner. Game cocks are beautiful birds.

Here they were at less than a week old!

This is so great! I'm glad everyone joined it. This is my Black Jersey Giant hen Sandwich. I love the bowling ball with a head look.

LOL - she's one fine looking bowling ball!

All very nice and pretty birds. I do have to admit, I am liking the bantams more than I thought I would.

Cajun - love that blue Spanish roo - hope you can round him up! Partner was very handsome indeed - such beautiful colors.

Sandwich is enormous! Now I know why they are called Giants!

I love the game chickens they remind me of my OEGB the games have such bright colors and so many patterns. I have Crelles hes The one with all the bars. I went to a mans home who had the fightin game as they are called here and he had one in standard size looked just like my crelle. (don't remember the name of the game)

Did you hear that grow you could get a standard size game like my crelle and add americana and "WA LA" LEG BAR!

My chicks are gettin all feathered out and look at that little tail.

aint he just pretty

Super chick, Harmony!

Turkeys in the mist - love it!!

Here's my contribution for today. Newborn last night sometime...

isnt he just a pretty boy

tia, i need a turkey. he is gorgeous

If i can ever get my DH to put up my chain link I'm going to get some turkeys.

Is there one breed better than the other or are they all pretty much the same except for color and size?

harmony, a chain link will not keep them in. mine use to jump on the fence then hop on the other side of the fence

It's 5 foot can they jump that high? I was either going to put a top on or just clip thier wings.

I'm either going to hatch them or buy peeps.

i clipped their wings. they can jump that high

Then I'll top it.

that would be best if you don't want them wandering

Off topic "sorry" please resume with the pics.

Mine get up on top of my pen and it is well over 8 ft tall.

Do you think these pretty guys and gals are having fun? Such is a life of a duck.

While I was out taking pics of the ducks, look who came to investigate. Yummy Yummy

Oh Luvs you sound like my DH always seeing a animal as yummy My DH has been after me for years to let him eat one of my banties (just to see what it would taste like).

Great peep pic CMoxon! I love the look on her (being optimistic) face. The ducks are adorable too.

Lovin the Ducks. Do they make good yard pets i don't have a pond but i've always wanted a duck.
Are they messy (Poo) ive heard they do it all over?

Here is a pretty picture. It's a wild grouse that a guy caught on a trail ride.

Can i have the grouse?

They will fly a mile with a wing over their hind end so they can poop on the porch!

Not to bad on the poo part, they roam all over so its ok. They are ok as yard pets, they are tearing up my flower beds but the season is almost over so............and that they are getting reseeds and or bulbs. It will grow back. It is nice just to see them play.

Deer season opens soon and hoping to get me one.

It was Spring and the grouse were breeding. The guy just rustled his hand in the leaves and the grouse went for it. He caught it 2 days in a row. I guess they are pretty birds but maybe not too smart? ! LOL

Just jokin Deer hunting here is like all the men do all winter is hunt and talk about hunting.
My thing i'm against is the killing of fox squirrels they are beautiful and you rarely see one and some hunters shot them.

Hey Cajun somthin pretty as that can poo on my porch anytime.
Are you from louisiana is that the cajun?

Edited to say thought you was talkin about the grouse pooin.

Yes, I moved from Bayou Dulac in south La. to Ky 5 years ago.

I'm good friends with a transplanted cajun he lives in augusta I like to here him talk cajun and he likes to hear my southern drawl. One of my best friends is from new york and i love to get her laughin with my backwoods drawl. She will look at me and say huh what did you say?

Try talking to a computer trouble shooter with a Ky drawl!

OH tell me it ain't so i get my mix all talked up sometimes and nobody can't understand me.

Sounds like when I was in North Carolina this summer and there were a few times I had to ask people to repeat something, and that wasn't even that far south! But I'm excused on account of being Canadian, right?

North carolina i got kin up in them parts no wonder you had a time knowin what they said.

Yes we southern folks love company come set a spell have some sweet tea on da front porch we'll watch the chickens peck the ground and let me tellya bout my youngun's.

I like sweet tea as long as it's got lemon in it... :-)

Sweet tea and chickens in the yard, a couple of my favorite things,

Tea so sweet it ferments in the fridge on the third day. (if it lasts that long) I have a cajun accent AND a drawl. Nobody has to look at the caller ID to figure out who I am. Nobody sounds like me around here. Or where I came from for that matter. LOL

Just got me a new duck. A muscovy named Miss Quackers. She is pretty. I'll have to get a pic when I put her in the pen.

Sweet tea don't last long around here either and yes claire with lemon and some nice peach pie with homemade crust. If you put that on topa ya head it wood make ya tongue slap ya brains out tryin to get to it.
