My boyfriend and I plan on doing the exact same thing. I get half for my chickens and he gets half for his workshop.

That was one of my sipulations when we built it. half and half, I would just like to add on to my half LOL
Oh yeah, my half is concreted floor

Can you just hose your half out? thats really nice! I love the building wish I had something like that someday maybe. I tried to take over our shed but so far I have only gotten feed storage in there. Those salmon pullets are really nice also.

I guess you could hose it out, but I mop the floor every other week. Every night I use my shop vac and sweep the floor of shavings. That is also how I clean out my pens with my shop vac.

That bird is 1/2 Faverolles. That's a good start. Looking at the wing, could that be lavender influence? I can't wait to see it after it moults.

Probably a long-shot here but...anyone have any BLUE Salmon hatching eggs from SQ stock in bantam size? I have a VERY broody Cochin hen right now and I'd like to add some new blood to my flock....

Sorry, I got rid of all of my blue salmon except for one cock bird. My husband liked his color

i wish i had a couple of SQ girls to put with my blue salmon boy. he's got the right color earlobes but none of my girls have the red they need to be considered SQ. though blue salmon is not considered a color that is approved i thought for showing other than at faverolles shows. i could be wrong since i haven't started showing birds yet!

(someday!)
