My pal : )
Pics of the whole famdamily.
I am so sorry about Marley. He is clearly a charmer.
So THAT is Edmund! I can understand why you have behaved so foolishly in the past. Has he reformed?
Oh my goodness Patch - you have an awesome family! I love twitchy especially. I also love the grey silkie hen.
Of course, Pita has a place in my goat-girl heart. :-)
Great pics - where is a pic of YOU?
Edmund is still quite the lady's man. Yes, Marley is sorely missed. He was always so happy go lucky, just not the same here without him. CMoxon, There are actually two goats Pita and Momma. Momma is shorter and Pita has a white spot, they do look very similar though. We won't go into what PITA stands for, although she can be sweet sometimes : ) I guess I could slap a pic up here,but be warned though; I'm not very photogenic!
LOL, ok ok. Give me a few ; P
Just wanted to introduce all the newbies to my family so I'm bumping it up : ) Darn, looks like I forgot to post a pic of me (EG) ; )
Patchouli,
Dot and my Talula could be twins as could Mrs. Fuzzbottom and my Lacey.
Glad to see the famdamily! Thanks for sharing!
Kristin
OK, based on your toes, jeans, and your name? I have a pretty clear picture! Let's see if it's even close..... :D
Oh Patchouli! Your family is great. BIG! and great! I love Mrs. Fuzzbottom!!!!! She reminds me of a Daisy I know! I call her fancy pants! LOL
Boy, you have some beautiful chickens! Twitchy reminds me of a certain Todd roo i fell in love with on BYC. awwww!
We have one guinea pig left out of our original three. Her name is Lola. She sure is sweet, but lonely. I cant get anymore though. My DD is allergic. Lola has to be kept away from her. :(
It sure was fun seeing all your family! Thanks for sharing!
jeanmarie
Thanks guys : ) Glad you enjoyed them, and I love sharing!
Patchouli,
I thought you might enjoy knowing that I added to the family recently... have you ever heard of degus? They are so ADORABLE! They are like a chincilla crossed with a gerbil. Maybe some kangaroo rat thrown in there too. Anyway, I'll have to get some pics of them and post them for all to see.
LOL, yes I have heard of and seen them!!! They look like ENORMOUS gerbils! Can't wait for the pics!
Um, where are the pics LL??????????????????? Still waiting : )
Um....where's the pic of you, Patch? Still waiting :-)
(Pretending not to see this) smirk.
OK, here's my analysis based on my book (not my skill), and as per your request, I didn't include any of the definite "no" breeds.
Border Leicester - similar color and head shape but fleece seems different
Corriedale - hard to say, the picture of these in my book isn't the best, but I don't think so...
Debouillet - potential candidate, seems to have the right face and ears and coloring and fleece type
Montadale - This is my best guess - they have the right head, ears, wool placement on forehead area, plus the dark nose area. Very, very similar to the pics in my book.
Polypay - possible, right ears, but their noses look longer than the pic in my book, and the forehead shape/wool seems different.
If I had to make a bet, I'd say the montadale, or a cross involving it, but I am no expert...
Claire.... Thank you for looking them up for me. I hope it wasn't too much trouble. I am going to go look up the Montadale and the Debouillet to see what they look like. I had a few that I thought were a maybe but ultimately had to throw those ideas out the window due to either size or wool length. I would just like to at least get it narrowed down to a few. Thanks sooooo much for your help : )
SewinCircle..... Sorry I never replied to your post! Your chickens are very very lovely. They all look happy and healthy. Is that roo at the bottom a wyandotte? Very funny when they investigate the new chicks!
No trouble at all! It's helpful for me to keep looking at the book because it helps me start to learn the breeds better. Some of them are very distinctive looking but others are very similar to each other. It's like detective work! :-)
He is a Brahma mix, could be some wyandotte in him! They are all mixes.
Dont be sorry, I was joking. I had not seen you in awhile and am glad to see you again!!!
Just doing the bump! ;)
Lol, yes it is! Many of them look so similar, and then you have the mixes thrown in so who knows.
SewinCircle... Brahmas are one of my personal favorites! They are big sweeties.
Duke is for sure. He is my sweet boy who will always look to my hand for food. He also keeps the mean roo away! I love him. He is just so big. ;)
They are great, I just love our buff Brahma. It's a good thing they are such gentle giants, because they would be terrifying to be attacked by!
I agree. I was saying that to my DH today when we were outside in the run. His feet are HUGE. Is yours pure? I am green. hehehe They are turely beautiful!!
As far as I know they are. That's what I ordered. I have like one of everything (breeds), and one happens to be a buff brahma. They are pretty, and so docile!
