Aloha from Manoa's Roost

[BlueBaby]

They are here and in the brooder now, minus the poopy butt's that they had. I'm giving them some quiet time to unwind from the trip. Made a fresh pot of coffee.

I had to make a trip to the feed store earlier this afternoon to pick up some more chick feed for those 10 Aloha chick's that I will be picking up tomorrow afternoon. I'm busy getting my brooder ready for them now.

Hope you'll share a picture of the little ones!

I will. I just got up a while ago and I'm drinking my coffee trying to get woke up and in gear. It will be hard trying to get the picture though, as when I go in there, they all pile into the box that I put in the brooder under the heat lamp. I know that they have found the water and where the food is at, because the crop's looked pretty full when I checked on them.

Are you going to have a flock of only aloha's?

Yes, I am. I plan to be running a pen of the pure feathered necked one's, along with with another pen of Naked Necked one's.

That sounds awesome! Do you do other breeds besides aloha's?

I also have Naked Neck's and Silver Grey Dorking's.

Do you breed those to? I would try, not for any particular reason other than seeing how it would look, breeding one Aloha and one Silver Grey Dorking?

The Dorking's have short leg's on them and I'm afraid that Manoa would squish them as big as he is. I have a male Silver Grey Dorking that will be happy with the 7 pullet's that he has. Those girl's should start laying egg's in January.

Hmm, that makes sense. Maybe get a brahma hen and try. I feel like that would combination look super good!
