Your Picture of the day.

Impressive

 

A friend of mine learning black smithing showing me his work .

 

No way an iPhone camera can do it justice. Sunset in East Texas today. As far as the eye could see, pink cotton balls.

 

@T. Riley I have never seen that. Absolutely beautiful

 

A friend of mine teaching me forgery .
Err I mean black smithing.

 

With Sessions as AG we might be about to find out how legal it is. We need to remove the government probation or enforce it. I don't care either way, but ignoring it was the Obama answer.

 

Watching the sky change is one of my favorite forms of entertainment.

 

Little earlier than I expected but looks like the factory is back in full swing this morning.

 

looks like you have quite the variety of hens.

 

LOL yeah... Speckled Sussex, Rhode Island Red, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Black Copper Marans, Cukoo Marans, Barred Rock, Giant Cochins, Ameraucana and Easter Eggers, and 1 Olive Egger that just started laying. There's also some mutts in there. It's a zoo.

 

I love those darker eggs =)

 

I'm a purest. I have only Silver Laced Wyandottes but I am thinking of changing my flock to Red Stars. My father-in-law raised 25 this year. The roosters are white with a touch of red and the hens a reddish brown with a touch of white almost from the time they hatched. When the SHTF I will be able to cull or free range excess roosters and take better care of the hens. Since they are a hybrid, they will not reproduce true so I will have to keep a couple Road Island Red rooster and a few Road Island White hens. His are huge at six months and started laying at 22 weeks, large dark brown eggs.

Since male and female chicks are different
colors so you know what you have.

• Because of this they're also known as 'red sex-linked' chickens.

• One of the best egg-layers ever.

• Keeps laying in all climates - both heat and cold tolerant.

• Good foragers who love being able to free range.

• Curious and friendly, especially if handled from a young age.

 

Irony ,
my littlest white chicken lays the largest white egg (won't fit in carton), but my big fat Buff Orfington lay relatively little eggs

 

I had some Creme Legbars which are sex linked so you can tell the boys from the girls at hatch, but they weren't healthy compared to my other breeds and I finally got rid of all of them. My Americaunas lay blue eggs so I didn't see the point in keeping the Legbars. I'm running around 90% accuracy at feather sexing day old chicks so on the breeds I keep pure I just use that to figure out who's who.

 

Today was March 4 Trump. Denver's rally was well attended. I saw young, old, bikers, and minorities all there in support of Trump. There were protestors. Protestors were foul mouthed, delusional and had their faces covered. I witnessed a nasty protestor harassing an elderly gentleman. The police were quick to move in. I also saw many Alex Jones supporters and Captain America even showed!
