I am in Townsend outside of Helena, and have lots of pretty Icelandic cockerels. They make great flock bosses and guardians. There may be a chance we go up that way in the next few weeks to get some rabbits. If we do, I will let you know and will be happy to meet you in that general area with a...
I will definitely have some for sale next year. I get hatching fever in the spring, haha. I'm working on getting my flock numbers up and bringing in more diversity this year, but I've had a hard time with my hatch rates with the shipped eggs.
I must not have been noticing my updates for this thread! I've missed a couple pages.
I am on day 14 of my third hatch already. The wind is driving me nuts, because I have 4-week-olds that need to go outside.
I need to build a bigger coop. The one I have is not big enough for my hatching...
We lived outside of Livingston for a bit. That darn wind spoiled many a travel plan!
Montana is actually the second windiest state after South Dakota. I hear people from other states boast about their wind and just shake my head, lol.
Nope, just outside of Townsend. Confederate Gulch burned a...

How is everyone's winter going so far? I'm feeling the egg shortage as my three layers slow for the season, but I should have several more hens start laying once days get longer again. The weather's been fairly mild but windy (as always) here in Townsend. My oldest rooster has developed a lovely...
I'd love to do that once we get back into the settled routine of school!
I just had a lovely hatch of 10/10 Icelandics from eggs that I picked up in Birdseye. My favorite little one is very weak, though, and I'm afraid it won't make it. I've never had one with its coloration, so I'll be...
Hi folks. This thread looks like it might be dead, but I'll introduce myself anyway. I'm between Bozeman and Helena, and have lived in Montana my whole life. We've always had chickens.
Right now I'm focusing on Icelandics, and will eventually be getting some Norwegian Jaerhons. I've also got...
