He or she?

I am posting this mostly to draw my chicken friends to. I want to see if anyone has an educated guess on if this is a Roo or a Hen. It is about 7wks old. A heritage bird. Mom is a black sexlink but not sure what dad was. That is all the info I have.               Editted to add two more pictures. Inky is with the smaller chicks in the other pictures. Here are two with him and two different easter eggers. The feet are the same size as the one in the door of the brooder. They are approximately a week apart maybe a week and half. I don't know for sure. I guess it could even be two weeks. ???     and yes that silly chick pooped on my dogs pillow. The cat sprayed it already, so I guess it is covered now. :(

I love spring!

  Out my side door facing west! This was this morning about 7:20AM. I am surrounded by beauty! I am thankful for the beauty of this earth! We are so blessed by a Loving Heavenly Father to see green and trees, flowers etc. of course they are not without the snow and rain. This may be a telestial world but it is beautiful to me, what a gift!!!

Milestones

Lately, I have been feeling down on myself. I've gained 10lbs since moving but I LOVE junk food so I haven't been really motivated to do anything. After talking to a friend I decided to start running again. I asked Scott for new shoes for my birthday so I could get started with some new shoes, not run down ole things that I have had for a few years. I went into Runners Corner in Orem and they told me about some "new" shoes. When he said there are fewer injuries and easier on the knees, shins and ankles I REALLY wanted to like them. He called them ZERO DROP He had me wear a normal Asics like my old one and one of the Alta Instint. I immediately noticed the difference. I was SOLD! After my first jump on the treadmill I had NO pain! In the past the first set of intervals had KILLED! This time, none! No knee pain, no shin pain, nothing! I wasn't even sore the next day! GASP! What was I doing wrong? No pain no gain, right? WRONG! Today, I turned 37 a

Crayon box?

*************Sorry the pictures are not being resized. I'm not sure how to fix that. Just click on the pictures and it will take you to a "normal" size.***************   Liberty?????   Nah, couldn't be.....   Absolutley is. Liberty has found the crayon drawer. She loves to move them from one place to another. So fun to watch. Yes, I know I need to move them. The worst she has done is throw them away. These pictures are a few months old. I got a kick out of her thought process.

Monster Egg

One of my chickens layed this monstrosity! Bigger than an AA battery and had two yolks. I can say it made a wonderful spinach, tomato and cheese omelet! PICTURES SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE Sorry, the pictures were lost. The egg was about 1/2 nch taller than a AA battery. I loaded the pcitures into picasa while there was a virus. I hit "Blog this" and it didn't post. Scott had picked up a virus and couldn't get rid of it. I lost the pictures when I left the picasa window open when I went back to an earlier date on the computer (forgot what it is called). So I lost about 40 pictures. Sigh!!!
