Anyone here have any French Black Copper Marans or Lavender Oprs? I posted earlier this year and I know someone mentioned they did but haven't been able to contact them. Thanks
I live Northeast of Santa Fe in Pecos and I don't use a heat lamp. They seem pretty content without it. I just make sure their coop is draft free as much as possible and that's it. I have openings high up on the roof for ventilation. I do have a bunch of pullets that are a little over a month...
Anyone going to the last of the year Poultry swap in Edgewood Saturday? Are you planning on selling anything? I am thinking of going but not quite sure yet.
I decided to change out my flock this year and I am wanting some good Heritage breed chickens. I am looking for some Rhode Island Reds, French Black Copper Marans, Barred Rocks and Delawares. I have ordered hatching eggs but haven't had any luck. Does anyone nearby have any of these? I have seen...
I know I asked this question in the past but can't remember what the answer I got. Does anyone know of a breeder of French Black Copper Marans that is in NM or close by? I have been buying from all over but I can't get a good hatch so I'm hoping for a better hatch from eggs that don't have to...

I have approx 70ish laying hens and 3 Roos. This doesn't include the 50 meat chicks I have. I caught chicken fever very bad last year and haven't recovered:lol:
I agree about the humidity issue. This last hatch I even put in paper towels along the bottom to help hold the humidity longer but...
Hello everyone,
I have quite a few chickens, RIR, Barred Rocks, Australorps and a few mixed breeds. I also have a couple Geese and Runner Ducks. I have a goose sitting on some eggs now so I'm hoping she'll hatch some this year. I am trying to start a flock of FBCM but haven't been having any...
Just found this thread. I'm excited now to know that there a people close by that understand our unique area and constantly changing weather. I'm from Pecos, just north of Santa Fe. Not Pecos TX lol
