In the Brooder
Hi,
It is presently sunny and a cool minus 5 degrees.
I always had birds in the last thirty years, and in the early days ordered my chicks from Murray McMurray and went to get them at a Vermont Post Office.
In fact, my family had chickens for a long time and my grandfather helped develop the Chanteclerc with Brother Wilfrid in Oka (a really long time ago). I never met any of my grandparents so I learned everything on my own.
I no longer travel for work, and I retired in a small city that prohibited chickens. Now it is allowed but you need to secure a permit and are limited to between three and five adult chickens, no chicks or roosters. Bummer. I always raised from chicks.
I kept my small tractor coop from when I lived on a farm and will this spring, build a permanent run and base for the tractor. This way I will move the tractor to inside my garage and use a small inside run.
I succeeded in reserving three pullets. A Barred Rock, a columbian (possibly a Plymouth) and a hybrid Red (unknown breed). They shall be here in April. I am looking for either a Wheaten Maran, a Brahma, Speckled Sussex for the two remaining allowed pullets.
Any suggestions on where in Canada I could secure heritage breeds in small quantity?
I will update in May with pictures of my installation.
Thanks
