I am glad you found your girl Pink!! Around here the water freeze quickly in the winter, so I water out of plastic feed pans. They are like a giant ice cube tray, the ice pops right out. My young birds like to stand on the side of the pan and if they are empty, they flip right over and trap...
It's called Tannis' house! I have sucker written all over me. Mine are 34, 27, 22 and the youngster is 16.
Of course, we have a busy day on here and I missed it all again. My husbands car wouldn't start, had to go rescue him and my car broke down right after I picked him up. It took a...
Seems to me it is always slow this time of year, when all the good stuff is going on I am to busy to keep up. I am feeling pretty good right now. I just spent the last 3 days cleaning the entire coop, rebanding all the pullets, photographing everyone, taking notes, deworming and separating...

I am so glad you have him!!!! I still miss his daddy My problem getting chicks outside is finding room for them. I have 7 breeding pens, 3 single bird cages and a 8x8 coop with a 30x40 fenced yard and I don't have enough room. I keep looking at my 33 year old mare and thinking her...
Hi Debbi and Pink I am the bad friend you only hear from every six months. Done with the horses til February and kids only have sports twice a week right now, so I can be chicken social for a while. Nothing in there now...give me til after Christmas and the fun begins! Last year my family...
Morning everyone! I am trying to keep up with you guys, but alas, I always find myself days behind the current topic. I am getting ready to start hatching for the new year and thought I would share my wine fridge bator. Pics are from before I had all the turners in, it can hold 168 eggs...

Hey that's great!! Way to go.
Cadeau: Nice eggies
congrats! How many Marans do you think there were including all of yours? I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be showing all by my lonesome this fall...that is if they are in feather
Only 2 others. They were mossy and clean legged.
Ok Debbi, here are my show results....
I took a Cock, Hen, pullet and a cockerel. There weren't any Marans classes, so I had to show as "Any Other Recognized Continental" All 4 of my birds took 1st (all had other birds in their class ) The Cockerel was Best in Class Continental and Champion...
Hi Debbi!!!!! I have been MIA lately. To much going on, kids sports, horses, blah blah blah. What the heck is that in your avatar? Where is my Clyde???? I still am sick I didn't get a male from his daddy before I lost him. I did keep 4 pullets though
Does anyone know what group Black Copper Marans ended up in? I am trying to do entries for the first time since they were accepted and don't know what group to put
Thanks Pink!!
Debbi I am sending color vibes your way. The last chicks I hatched from that roo produced some nicely colored girls and some loud colored boys. The color is in there somewhere.
The chick is in the brooder, running around, chirping his head off! I can't believe how fast it...
Went out to check on the broody and found an ice cold chick that had slipped out from under her. I wasn't even sure it was alive. My son is holding it with a heating pad and it is starting to chirp and move around a bit. I can hear chirping coming from under her, so there are more. I am...
Morning Everyone!!! No sun or warmth here. I have a chick in my make-shift hatcher tray, 2 pips in the hatcher and I am dying to know what is going on under the broody.

You are lucky he stops at 11. My 5 crow all day long. If I need to end a phone conversation that has gone on to long, I just walk out to the chicken coop

Thank you Ruth!!!! I picked up her whole box and moved her to a small pen by herself. She immediately got off the nest She had been sitting on nothing all day, so I ran in the house and grabbed 3 eggs off the counter and put them in the nest. She plopped right down on them and...

I have been a busy girl!! I even showed at my first chicken show this weekend. (Way easier than showing a horse) Clyde can come home anytime he wants. I lost his daddy a couple of months back and dummy me didn't keep any of his sons.
