Getting some Much Needed fishing therapy tonight! 🤗
I love my lil old hillbilly boat.
It's comfortable. Even has heat. Night fishing is a much different experience in comparison to daytime.

My 1st time out for the season, I'm kinda late to the party 🤷‍♀️ lol

I'm so ready

FYI

I’m just going to say this clearly no hate intended, just education.

Easter Eggers (EE) and Ameraucanas are not the same thing.

Easter Eggers (Americana) are mixed-breed chickens. They come from a variety of genetics and do not have a fixed breed standard. Because of that, there is no consistent or predictable “look,” temperament, or egg color across all Easter Eggers. They are essentially multi-generational mixes, not a standardized breed.

Ameraucanas, on the other hand, are a recognized pure breed with specific traits and a defined standard. True Ameraucanas will consistently meet those breed traits and will reliably lay blue eggs.

The confusion happens because some Easter Eggers may carry Ameraucana genetics (or similar blue-egg genes), so they can look similar beards, muffs, and sometimes blue-green eggs. But appearance alone does not confirm breed, and many generations of crossing can dilute or change traits in unpredictable ways.

One important point: egg color is not guaranteed in mixed birds. While some Easter Eggers may lay green or blue-green eggs, others may lay tan, cream, or tinted eggs depending on their exact genetics. A “blue egg layer” is only guaranteed when you are working with a true blue-egg gene line in a pure or carefully tracked breeding program.

I see a lot of people purchasing birds labeled as “Americana” expecting Ameraucana guaranteed traits, only to be disappointed later. If you don’t care about breed purity or predictable traits, Easter Eggers are fun, colorful, and great birds. But if you are specifically looking for consistent breed standards or guaranteed blue eggs, it’s important to know the difference before buying.

Both have value just not the same purpose.

We laid Maggie to rest on Tuesday.
15 years is a long time, but not nearly enough when it comes to the love & loyalty of a good dog.

We're finding a new rhythm.. It'll take time to adjust, especially for Pooter. She's a only dog now.

We had 3 more weeks with her since I posted about her last time..
I want to say thank you again, for all the kinds words on that post. 💞
