Oh I weep for you . But I too was "forced" nearly at gunpoint to post myself outside in the 67 to 71 degree warm, neigh unfathomable torturous gentle warm breeze! Oh agony! oh and we have 5 new Chickies that have come out of the Incubator.
Oh no!, I feel for you, thankfully i don't have any duct work in my house, all wood heat! gets a little smokey sometimes but it does save on the electric bill
in other news!!! check out grit.com/chickncoop they're giving away a coop, plus 1 year of feed!! i don't think they specifiy...
The white ones are a barnvelder crossed with a white leghorn hen, I'm seeing what happens if you cross my good foraging larger framed chicken with a high strung egg laying machine. we shall see.
eggs in the bator!! the middle row in blue are the americaunas we picked up in the show. The two dark brown ones are my Barnvelders i think, or Marans.
!
Cant wait!!
You can PM me if you have any particular questions, I have a small flock we're trying to develop into a great strain, but it's a 20 year project. As there are no really good types of the Dark Brahmas around in the PNW we are starting from scratch.
I've got to admit that is great news. Its awesome to hear that some people are getting to do what they really want to do and get paid for it. Very nice.
recently I tried a fryer from the store...it's not the same as the home grown, but i'm going to be breeding a bunch of dark brahma bantams here in the near future if someone is looking for a tasty personal chicken!
Precisely, although i dislike the eagles that we have out here as well, luckily i found that if you put up a bunch of 10 ft posts, "used to be trees" the eagles don't like them because i would guess it limits their ability to swoop.
Well folks its been awhile, but it looks like were finally back online, for those who have no clue who we are anymore, we should make it to the fall show with some of our dark brahma bantams, we have some eggs in the bator but due to a power outage accident we may have to start over, in better...
Hey y'all were still here, just busy remodeling the old house, and we got our hands on some midget white turkeys! Chicken sized turkeys very wonderful birds.
