 Sure we will take a look at them. Better get to posting sister. smile.png

My wife is getting some Black Copper Marans, She is supposed to be getting chicks from two seperate blood lines,

Our question is what is the difference between the lines and what should she look for out of the offspring to continue the standards of each line?

The two lines she is acquiring are the Bev Davis line and the Wade Jeane line.

She is getting straight run so it is not a gaurentee she will get a pair of either but she hopes to get 2 pair one from each line.

Vicki~ Same old, same old here....the waiting game. Waiting on the eggs in the 'bator and waiting on those baby goaties. Loosey still has her ligaments, but she is certainly slackening up. She is still carrying her tail pretty high. She is running around like normal out on pasture today. The other goats know something is going on....they won't keep their noses to themselves if you know what I mean.

 

 

Good hatching and birthing vibes being sent your way too!!!!   fl.gif

Irene was a real B**tch on the hay, and roads, and corn, and houses and town budgets...., last year.  So glad this hay season is been good so far!

 

Yes June hay smells sooooo good, now if I could just keep the chickens out of it.  Buggers!

Also look for maremmas.  IF you can do a google search for guard dogs, as many breeds are not AKC recognised.  You'll need to narrow the search to avoids the junk yard guard dogs!! Not that I have any thing against ROtties, I have 2, just saying you want sheep guard dogs or livestock guard dogs.
