Blacks

These pics were taken in November of '08. This Rooster isn't the same Rooster I had in August. There was a little mishap with the dog and my old Black Rooster. I was really sad, also spittin' mad, but I did get another Black Rooster and he looks just as good or better. He isn't as mean though. And this one is my favorite bird of all! My Hen doesn't look very good, because she is in the moult right now and also I don't know if she'll make it through the winter. We'll have to see huh?

Ginger Reds

These pics were taken in November of '08. My Rooster doesn't look his best, because he has just started to moult. At least he'll be ready for the spring show. My Hens have also started to moult. You can't really see any body feathers missing, but they are both really loosing a lot of neck feathers. There is an upside to it though. At least they'll be ready for the spring show I am taking them to!

New Pics

Sorry to have kept you all waiting for some update on my blog. It's been a little hard to get some new pictures with these crutches, but I did get them off. So I finally got my butt outside and have taken some pictures of my chickens! Also, all of my new pics were taken in November of '08. I'll try to keep up on my blog updates!

Pheasant Hunting

On October 25th I went to Paradise to a hunting club to go pheasant hunting. I couldn't decide wether I should go or not but, I finally decided to go hunting, and I am glad I did! Me and my dad woke up early and drove to Phil's house. Then Cody, Carson, Phil, my dad, and I loaded into the truck to head to Paradise we got there and we started hunting right away. We saw 7 birds, all roosters, but, we only got 6 of the ones we saw. I shot 2 of the 6 and had a lot of fun. Next time I wont be hesitant about not going.

My Ginger Red Old English Trio

These pictures were also taken in August 2008. They were shown as a trio at the BE County Fair. They did better than I hoped and received Reserve Champion Bantam Trio. I must have had 4 or 5 people try to purchase them from me that weekend. Nothing doing - me likes them too much. I used all my birthday money to purchase them in July.

Utah Fancy Poultry Assoc. Fall Show

Last weekend I attended the Utah Fancy Poultry Association's fall show. There were some great birds on display. The Champion Old English was a Crele shown by Kevin Christensen. It was an amazing bird. I would love to expand my collection in the spring to include Crele's. My cousin Bailey picked up a Rosecomb trio and my little sister Kate found a pair of Blue Splash Silkie's to bring home. They are very high quality silkies from Sassy Silkies.
