Hello! Long time no post. We are looking to get rid of all our Swedish Black Hen stock (Svart Hona). They are so beautiful and friendly but we are getting ready to move to a new property and looking to downsize so we will only be bringing our BCM's when we go. We purchase our breeding stock...
I agree. Once the new place is built we are getting one. The thing that sucks about this being a raccoon is who knows how many there are! And he comes back every night. With our bobcat and our fox we had a shot in the air would spook them enough to stay away a few nights. This one keeps...
Well we finally got everyone separated! Our roos are in their own bachelor coop, our LP hens are in a coop of their own, and our Greenfire hens are out in the big coop with our one wheaten ameraucana hen, Princess. They are spread out! Hopefully this will allow the girls time to relax and grow...
She is actually one of our Greenfire hens so they are not related at all. Would they be good to pair up?
I will get some better hen picks soon, they are sweethearts and easy to be around.
We are going to separate them this weekend. We have a good sized coop we can put the boys in for a little...
This is our LP rooster. I wish I had some better photos of him but he is the one who is rude. He attacks me if I am in there alone and I'll be honest, I totally hate him. I would try to get photos of him from different angles but I am a little nervous to get close enough with out anyone else...
Thank you! I am far from knowledgable when it comes to breeding. We were trying to make some side money originally to support starting up with all the breeds we liked. We ended up preferring the marans to all our other breeds and have decided to really put in some work with them in the future...
Hey everyone. I have been keeping up with this thread and figured it is time to officially join. It will be easier than searching for it each time. I have already learned a lot from the posts here and will have to get photos of all mine to put on. Ours don't look quite as nice as our hens are...
Thank you! I will be getting one this week and I will take pictures to compare. The eggs in the photo are a combination of GFF and LP eggs. We only have two LP hens and about 7 GFF hens so majority in there would be Greenfire.
Looking back I really wish we'd have kept more males until they...
No we don't have one. Do you know the best place to find one? I imagine printing one ourselves wouldn't result in one that is true to color
We hatched 28 this weekend, they are a mix between the Little Peddler and recently imported Greenfire Farms lines, curious to see how these turn out. So...
We have 7 hens and always have 5 eggs a day. So they lay pretty well, I wasn't expecting so many! And very consistent roo, once they started they haven't missed, one of my bielefelder hens would lay and then skip a few days and lay again.
Thank you! I can't take any credit, they are doing it...
Hey all, I have a couple Swedish black hen(svart hona) roosters I am getting rid of if anyone wants them.
They are about 5 months old or so. I spoke to a woman on this thread months ago about being interested but I can't seem to find her too easily.
If you check during the winter off rarebreeduactions you get amazing deals. We got our bielefelders from them in 2013 in early February for $160 for 19 of them and ended up with 9 hens! Pretty good deal compared to their site cost.
I love chickens, but at the end of the day they all do the same...
