since the fire, i have my chickens in the bantam coop (in the fenced in run area). this weekend i am going to add on to it to give them some more room. i am half tempted to leave them how they are cause they are laying better now than they have in the last few months. i still have so much...
ok it looks like the upload worked.

Thanks for all the nice and wonderful comments. Our neighbors across the road were Heros not many people would go into a burning home and help carry out belongings. God bless em.

i'm not sure if they do, i know the guys daughter has cuckoo marans and sells hatching eggs on ebay. here is a better picture of the rooster. those are my chics that hatched yesterday and friday.
after looking at some more pictures on the breed chart, i would have to say he is plymouth rock, or holland. leaning more towards plymouth. so i guess the pullets i have from this farm will be the same breed. they are good egg layers. i also have rhode island reds and gold comets, from...
the farm i got him from is in greencastle, indiana. about 30 miles west of indianapolis. the farm does have marans, and auraconas. the farm is not a commercial hatchery they just sell chicks in the spring, and chickens throughout the year.
