New Chickens

I have added some new chickens and one rooster to our flock.
Here are a few pics, better ones coming later on.  Except for Pepper- Penny (red hen)-Shadow (another grey hen)---the rest are Polish hens including the Rooster.  This weekend we will be adding another section onto their pens, so they have more room to roam.

Some Quilting blocks

Morning all,

Here are a few pics of some of my quilting blocks I did as exchanges within  within our yahoo group. We have had a lot of fun and enjoyment doing the exchanges.

My Tangerine Pearl Ringneck Doves

Morning all,

Here are a few pics of my tangerine pearl doves, they like my orange pied are just lovely and are so sweet and tame.  Just love them. The body is an intense rusty red color. Head, neck and breast are violet. Flights, tail, neck ring are white. The white feathers are tipped with tangerine, giving a pearl effect.

 

The last one on right is a tangerine "pied" dove, very pretty.

Orange Pied Ringneck Doves

Morning everyone,

Here are my Orange Pied doves. The body of a Pied bird is always white splashed with another color, in this case orange. Pied is not a combination of white and a dark color but an entirely separate mutation. Pied can be produced in any color combination. The eyes are always black.

If anyone plans on getting a lovely dove, please keep in mind they can live
10 to 12 years. Their weight is 41/2 oz.  They are 10 to 11 inches long.

I just love these little guys, they are so sweet and make a cooing sound.

We have 2 babies now--once larger will take a pic of them.
