We are looking for someone in the Michigan, upper Ohio, upper Indiana areas that breeds good show quality, typed bantam Cochins. I have a 4-H daughter who would be interested in a pair or trio. She would prefer a solid color.

ok, this has been an interesting afternoon...

figured i'd go outside and get some pics while the weather was decent, but noticed one of the younger babies was OUTSIDE his pen, trying to get back in... then i noticed what looked like whispy smoke. so i walked over and found this...



no babies lost or damaged, just the corner of the house they were living in... so they've been relocated in with some older chicks (my free ranging ones). it was still smoldering when i took the pic, but had the water barrel already on the tractor and still half full, so drove it over and proceeded to saturate everything even remotely hot. (yes i made sure the breaker was off first).

looks like it started with a short on the extension cord where it was laying on the ground. about 6" was burned clean of any insulation, and melted a plastic bowl that was sitting nearby before climbing the side of the pen.

Thank God you caught it in time.

Yikes! Glad none of the babies got hurt. You were lucky.

Just like my favorite filly this morning when I saw her get her head stuck between the gate and the fence.

What is that, a heat lamp?
