202RoosterLane - Joined the Arkansas group! Thanks for posting the link.

Motorcycle ride, eh? Sounds like fun! And not sure about the bikers thing, since we're truck drivers, we're seldom home often or for long. This is the longest we've both been home for ages.

I've been slowly working on getting DH used to the idea of having "separate" coops & runs so that we can start a breeding program of our own. Maybe one day.

Good gravy what is with this weather!!! I'm looking forward to the warm up later this week. Brrrrrrrrrr

Snowing like crazy in Ozark and Paris. What is going on? Wasn't expecting any.

 

[The Breaker]

It is coming down with sleet and snow here in central Arkansas

 

[Puddin Fluff]

Beautiful snow here but didn't expect it either! Hopefully it stops soon. My folks are coming up from Polk Co. Hope it isn't too bad that direction.

 

[FarmGirl01]

All we have is a nice layer of sleet.

"Darrell, hello from NE!! I personally don't have those breeds but I do hear nice things about them. I also will be perfectly honest that you will be hard up to find started pullets. So be prepared to search long and wide, but I do understand your logic! Brooding is hard and time consuming, but very rewarding!!! I have red productions, which are some of the best egg layers available. Now some questions you need to ask yourself...what are you wanting from these birds? eggs to eat/to sell, do you want them for meat, do you want fancy chickens, do you want ones that are weather appropiate...some do better in other climates, but if you have a draft-critter-weather proof run/coop then I'm sure most will be fine."




Good questions. I want eggs, but am happy with just a few a week. I'll give away those that accumulate. They will not be for meat. As much as anything, I want to enjoy them pecking around my yard while I do some yard work.
