Quote: Kathy, sincere condolences to your lost. We had the same bird of prey attack this pass Monday. Wife had brought the kids to have lunch with me at work and she was out for no more than 2 hours. Took out one of my Blue EE pullet. Irony or timing, I got a photo of her just 2 days earlier...

Quote: Pink, do pullets decide to go broody out of the blue? WoW! Good question! Ummmm.....I think they lead into it. I notice signs about 2-5 days prior to them finally settling in. This latest gal took about a week to make up her mind. 1st sign was she stopped coming out for treats...

Quote: Thanks! She's going under lock and key as soon as I get the breeding pen completed. Your hen is real pretty She has some nice coloring around her hackle and she may get a little more as she gets older. Your male is a little too red in the breast area but looks like he might be nice...

Quote: I really like the shape of this gal's head. I think it is very pretty. I agree she does have. Pretty head Thanks! She's going under lock and key as soon as I get the breeding pen completed.

Quote: Went back to my flash drive and found this close up of Fuzzy Feet. She was foraging under a dead tree, guess there were yummy treats. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/99503_dsc_3046.jpg That's a cute pic! has her eye color changed yet? It looks like when this pic was...

Quote: She looks pretty nice but don't take my word for it I'm still learning. Hopefully someone else will comment!... Anyone? sorry...got distracted...someone texted me from WI and told me they were having northern lights and I ran outside to look...I could actually see them! Only the...

Relative new to BYC and had a few variety of breeds from our friend and breeder. Wife and I are learning poultry keeping and are learning something new each day. We are leaning towards keeping Marans as our primary flock with Jersey Giants, EE and RIR as our secondary. We have 4 Marans which are...

Quote: I used to live 1 hour from the Crossroad show for 11 years but never got into poultry. Now I'm 14 hours drive away. Wonder how does Icelandics adapt to the southern states weather? Environment would eventually alter their characteristics, but probably after many generations.

Quote: Have a great time at Xroads! Please post pictures of your trip!

Quote: Keepers of Icelandics are breeding them to maintain their unique gene characteristics! Lots of information about Icelandics in this thread.

I'm trying to figure out the coloring of Marans eggs coding. To what reference when folks say "#4 eggs will be considered Marans"? I am having a hard time differentiating #4 brown from different photos posted online, in part due to the flash while photographing, color distortion of pictures...

Quote: 2 eggs as bonus? Sweet!

Quote: Thanks Michelle but that beast is not coming anywhere near my chickens if I can help it. My neighbor says the guy got it to feed his own ego because it gets so big. Why they let a four year old out with it off a leash is beyond me. Glad the Icelandics made it safely! Does big egos come...

Quote: LOL! Look at the third pic, top left hand corner along the fence line by the gate. You can just barley make out the frame for the hammock! LOL! That's to funny. By the way, my mother in law was convinced that I was building this for her and that's not a joke either. She had a fit when...

Quote: ohhh...get some rest.

Quote: MacGyver at work!

Quote: I'm sure your flock has been waiting for this day!
