Sister luckily moved back to PA from TN. Just in time for the ShtShow. She and her daughter, along with my local son have been helping when I was not able to do the 2 stairs to where everything is. And the kid (my kid's age kid, not a teen) down the street has been a big help also. I've been...

It's been a while since I posted last. A long while. I am down to 4 hens which is just the right amount for one person. My Big Guy passed away in March, so I am living solo right now, not counting the dogs and cats. I haven't actually seen my girls close up for 50 days because I broke my foot...

Update - had a dramatic loss of the new girls. I now have 4 of the original bunch and Peaches. No one is laying at the moment. But this happened. There's actually 2 of them but only one pic on the computer.

got the new kids outside. Peaches is coping with the invasion ok. I banded the white ones - can't tell them apart otherwise. My daughter named the gray one in the middle Johanna Sebastina Bawk Bawk Bawk.

Looking at the pictures on their website, I think they are Redstar Sexlink aka ISA Brown. Now named Becca (the darker one) and Kathy.

It was the Layers Choice Unidentified breeds. Like an unlabeled box of chocolates.

These two were identical little butterscotch chicks with the darker caramel "racing stripes" down their backs. Now they are looking not like twins anymore. Any idea on what breed they are? From a Murray McMurray Layer assorted batch. I also have 5 identical white (Pale yellow chicks) in the same...

I think there needs to be a Mindy & Friends 2024 calendar.

LMP, I wave at you every time I go thru your town. Which is even more often since we added Potter County to our coverage area. If you need someone to help fill out the needed quota of big birds - I do love a buff orp - let me know. I'm sure I can squeeze one or two in.

Anyone order the 15 chick layer package from McMurray? It looks like a fun way to get a broad assortment of different breeds. Looks like most of them are the bigger birds, which is my preference.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Is there a list somewhere of all the swap meets for chickens? Preparing for Spring.

Yes! Somewhat surprised that none of crazy friends haven't already sent me a set!

Mine has flames.

In other news, one of my crazy friends sent me a chicken helmet. A helmet. For a chicken.

Well heck.

Just looked them up. Small end of large breed. One site said they do ok in a run, the other said they don't and prefer roaming. Sheesh. Also, is avian flu still a concern at the moment? I haven't heard anything recently about it.

How big are they? I like the bigger breeds, if possible. Dunno why, I just do.

When I went in the run to feed the fiends this morning one of the new pullets was sitting in the nest box area. Good sign that she'll be laying soon?
