Chicken Math. Or "The story of how I didn't want chickens and got hooked"

@JaeG I've treated them all and will do so again in about a week. These were just too far gone to save unfortunately. She fought for a couple days of intensive inside care, but ultimately I just couldn't get enough weight back on her to pull her through.

I'm so sorry. I hate losing any of my birds. We lost a white crested polish also at about 10 weeks old. She was the only one sick and we couldn't save her. It's a horrible feeling.

Well, I did it again. Made arrangements tonight to pick up a breeding trio of American Bresse (2 blue and a splash). Expect pics soon.

Marilyn was sort of ready for her closeup...

Picked up my Bresse this morning. Got out there and the seller ended up giving me a Black roo as well for free, so we brought home 4.

Blue roo again.

They're getting comfy in the quarantine coop for now. I need to get no-crows for the boys this afternoon. These cell pics don't do them justice. I'll get some better ones when the weather outside doesn't SUCK!

Wow - they are gorgeous!
