Yup, I have Serama.....nothing for sale right now but in will have some chicks & eggs for sale in Spring.
 
Thanks everyone for all the well wishes this week about my Granny!

She was a classy lady, and things definitely won't be the same without her, but 107 years is certainly a full life to say the least! Her funeral service was today, and it was beautiful. I was suffering from an acute case of eye leakage the whole time, though!

Anyway, glad this weather has turned around! I ended up losing a couple of my smaller chicks during the bitter cold... Hopefully the Arctic will stay where it belongs now!
 
I need to put down a new layer of pine straw to help with the mud in  my run !
My menfolk put the remaining bags of stored leaves in my chicken houses on Saturday. Got 'em while my son was visiting to help clear the storm-downed trees. After all the things I've tried, leaves and pine straw are what I find work best here!
 
Good morning folks

I like the idea of the leaves in the chicken coops for a bedding. At
the least it gives me a place to put ALL those dang leaves and the
birds can mulch them down for me to put into a compost pile later.
I think we even have a place to store them.......great idea Hollow.
Thanks.

hope everyone has a good day

Coop Scoop...the best part is that the tannins in the leaves break down the chicken poo pretty quickly! I can put a foot of leaves in the houses in the fall, and some more mid-winter...and not have to clean it out or do anything in there until late summer! I toss scratch daily, and they are always scratching it up. I've done deep litter and weekly clean-outs and all sorts of methods and this works best for me! You've seen my set-up, so you know how many chickens are where and what kind of mess I could have.
