Alaska Chicken Lover's Soup for the Cold!!

You are a brave soul. I had ducks one winter, and they did live with my chickens, but it was hard work. If I didn't clean the coop constantly, the floor would never have been dry. I'd fill their waterers up multiple times a day because the ducks would have 5 gallons slung everywhere in a matter of minutes it seemed.

Splash and blue Marans? Do they lay the dark eggs like the BCM?

 

[MrsDeb]

Yep or pretty darn close..I couldn't tell the difference between the BCM's or the BBS that was sent to me...Here they are, the only two I got out
of all those eggs that were shipped. But its a start!

No more pictures Deb! I don't need another obsession! I saw the picture of Iceman.

They are fabulous though.

 

[MrsDeb]

UGH!!! I am so sorry Aimee.....I wish I had extra hens!

Oh boy, can I relate to that!! I've already expanded one breed more than I intended.

 

[MrsDeb]

OH! So you wouldnt like me telling you that Ice or his son Awesome might need homes? Ice has 2 legs, needs one more and Awesome is just pretty and young

(Icemans brother)


Ice was 16lbs at the State Rabbit Convention two weeks ago......

And his son, Awesome....just a young buck but has lots of potential...he was the light grey boy you met that would stick his head
out for everyone to pet him.

It's okay Deb, I'll try eggs in the spring.
I hatched the 3, and then you gave me the two, so out of 5 I ended up with two hens. The other two roos went to family members. The owl got my hens.
This was my worst year ever for losses. I wouldn't have wanted to be one of my chickens there for a while!
