Does anyone here have hedemora (spelling)?

Yes, that is the correct spelling.

I think they're the breed that can't be in the heat...at all...I think if we had them around here we would have to artificially cool them a lot if the year. If I'm thinking of the same breed

Highs in the 90s are a problem for them. We do better with other land race breeds here--Hint--

Get Basque Hens!

They can't take it over 100 without cooling. We only get to 80-90 about 1 week a year.
So I wanted to look into them locally instead $$$$$ and shipping without knowing what they're really like.

I have settled on cl and od for sure and would like one more breed maybe . ;-)

Please let me know. Very interested. Do I bring my own or purchase one to do?

Let me check with her on the turkeys. I'm not sure if she is parting with them or not. I sure hope so because I would love to have one for Thanksgiving! We will be doing chickens the same day. What she is offering this time is $15 for the workshop and you can bring one of your own birds to process or $25 and you go home with one chicken processed & vacuum sealed. I would guess the November one would be the same but it might be a little bit more if it involves one of her turkeys. I'm headed out there this morning to decide which roos/cockerels are on death row for tomorrow. I'll check with her.

may EO's took the summer heat and THICK smoke in stride. I'm not anticipating any problem with them in our winters either. Still no eggs yet but I was just thinking about incubating them for building next years layers. I really need to update pictures to figure out which boy to keep.

It was a pick beetween the basque and cl and I like the cl over my layers for project olive eggers...

Of course it's really up in the air as I only have two juvi OD three baby serama some cots and a layers flock. Having a hard time getting my birds! Oh patience !

Was it the basque that are the Spanish that are fierce on integrating? And the pita pintas that were gentle?

I'm hoping that the Pita Pintas are gentle because I'm in love with the breed and have 9 in the brooder.
