They are American Blues. I also have two 12 week old Chinchillas and an American Blue Buck.
Here a picture of my two blue girls.
Well, the Pita Pinta/Cream Legbar mixes are good hatchers! 4 have hatched, 3 have pips, and only 1 shows no action yet. The brown Pita Pinta or PP mix eggs only have 1 pip in 7 eggs. The Langshan eggs show no activity yet. Day 21 is at 11 PM tonight so there is still time for those lazy chicks!The ones that have already hatched are a noisy bunch and hopefully their cheeps will encourage the others to come out and play!
Boy she's not messing around!! My Seramas peck me but what can they do lol.Remember how I wanted a broodie? Well.... Somebody heard me and within a day, I had a broodie!I also have insane MF leghorns that don't do what they are supposed to do. I believe this one has gone broody. Or is trying to anyway. She has completed 2 whole days in this nest. The video is of me risking my limbs to sneak in an egg and offer fresh shavings for nesting. I do have to figure out a better spot for her but that will take a couple days of fixing.
I agree with you on that! Although, once you've added up the cost of materials plus the time to construct it, $900 doesn't sound that bad! DH and I were looking at the road trip sheds at our Costco right now. They are really nice! The largest one is 12 x 8 and costs $1800 delivered & set up. It would sure hold lots of chickens or a 22 yr old boomerang son!Way cute!!! Not $900 worth of cute though.....
I used to raise and show Netherland Dwarfs as a kid. At that time I had over 30 rabbits. Rabbit math is just as bad as chicken math.
Our big coop is made mostly with repurposed parts. The frame of the run is a big pipe swing set that DH put together for the kids. Most of the wood we used on the coop was left over set pieces from a homeschool theater group that we ran for 7 years. We used siding on the outside that was given to us by DH's former boss. We had to buy a few 2 x 4's and the hardware. Of course, it looks like a coop built with misc salvaged materials. I think that I need to paint it and fix a few parts that don't look very good. Last year we built a double decker quail pen that I intend to use for chicks once the quail are gone. It doesn't look too bad and definitely an improvement over our coop. The coop that we are currently building is our best yet! We painted it yesterday and put lino on the floor. I kept looking at our old coop yesterday and thinking about how to spruce it up! The chickens like it fine and it is functional but not cute!
Thanks!! I did it, and it sucked. I guess I've been lucky up until now though. Thanks for all the support guys.
