Ok - "Jean-Luc Peck-ard" (French black copper marans roo) & I just had a brief intense discussion of who is in charge of this coop.
I won.
Naughty boy...don't test this crazy chicken lady.

I still laugh every time I see your rooster's name!

Love it! The only way I can keep one of my LF roosters from coming after me is to wave a piece of fabric at him and chase him off.

How are the d'Anver pullet and bantam Cornish doing?

Hello Northern California! I am north of Sacramento in the "Foothills"! as a retired RN, I am very happy to be able to seek other joyful

endeavors, besides helping people. I have always loved animals & am happy to have had the $$$ to build a 15' pyramid for my

chickens!! They are cool in the 100+/- days in the summer, with the window AC & do not get cold in the winter, with their "Radiator" type heater!

One of the beat ideas I had was to raise the structure off the ground! They have stainless steel pans for food & H2O under there! they

like to be under the pyramid. Although there is a fence with wrought iron gates 50' on a side they do go outside the fenced area to eat grass!

If I happen to not be outside at sunset, they go into the pyramid themselves! Take care. Hope to hear from near-by people, Sincerely P

Please post pics as she grows up! (Who did the eggs come from again?)

I have a silver partridge pullet that startd like that I think. I should get a pic of her. I will be sorry to pull apart the madness pen for real breeding pens this year.

Oops, I thought you said Blue was recognized? Maybe this one is more lavender? She might have a black one I'll ask her. This is our first year showing as you can probably tell, lol.

Self blue is lavendar. you also want AMERICIAN orphs, not ENGLISH orphs. theya re more of a challenge to find, but its worth it! Lisa might have some too, But dont start AOV (NSV), its too complicated, lol.

I use pine shavings in the coop and sand in the runs. Sand should work fine for you.
