Hello fellow Canadians

Weather is just below freezing here, so there is a bit of snow coming later today.

Hatching chicks in my bathroom. 5 of 10 hatched out yesterday. 5 more to hatch, but not sure if they will; the remaining eggs are being rolled around by the chicks that have already hatched!

Happy Weekend!

Hi all....Windy here ,-4....but, very windy in Peterborough On. area.I've got 42 EE eggs in bator for Hatch-a- long..
Was informed today by an active chicken producer, shows birds...that my rooster I thought was a good specimenof Jersey Giant ..is crossed with Australope.....
no problem for me, I like his size and not it this for show ...hobby for me.
I'm satisified to raise my EE's and a few commerial brown eggers , have a colourful carton of eggs either way.....lol...
Will run a hatch of JG after the easter time and then let everyone mingle for rest of summer...
Actually my geese have started to lay so probably set one bator of them in late April...that will give me enough to raise this season....

Hi MeatKing! Not quite as cold as you. -18 with windchill this a.m. Another blast of snow too. Ugh! You must be a bit north of me. It's all good when the sugar maple starts to run again! Sure hope its the last cold snap. I want to get my birds out free ranging already! I'm seeing rabbit tracks for the first time in the 4 years we've lived here. Yay! Crows are starting to nest here. Yay! Spring will come, I'm sure of it! Lol!

Hello

We got a tiny little bit today, not much!
The sun has been nice!!

I agree sure hope it's the last cold snap!!
But there calling for 10-15 here Monday and 5-10 on Tuesday
