Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

They do have light and buff brahma......

Yep and speckled suspects and lavender Orps….

@Ponypoor not so sure you want dark brahma....View attachment 3748378Belladonna is demonstrating she's part monkey. Drinking from the stream I'm pouring into the waterer in the coop while perched on the bank of nesting boxes above the waterer....

Nimble isn’t she

Good to hear from you Marie I was wondering if you were doing well.

I've be sorting out a few things here and trying to get onto 9f my health.

Nimble isn’t she

For such a big girl, she does quite well. She can even (with a little guidance) fit through the wire fencing into the garden. She bites if you attempt to steal eggs while she's laying (good omen re broody) and is a double arm full to carry about. I've read that light Brahma are a pound heavier....

Oh just check again and it’s up, and I am terribly disappointed. None that I want are there in the list

No Dak Brahma
No Cuckoo Marans
No spitshaben

Maybe if I contact Hoovers they can put my order in with theirs to ship cross border.

That must be very frustrating.

Here’s a look inside the newly redone extension! There are weak points I won’t be able to get to in time, but I doubt they’ll be found out by the vermin this week.
This part of the run is cluttered up and down, except for a strip that I get to walk along. The obstacles are very well utilized!View attachment 3748338

A preening party hosted by the old gals! They’re celebrating having had a nice morning out free ranging. Perry is included, since Quincy invited her.

Have you tried Grade EH Farms? They say they ship "Canada-wide". It appears to be only straight-run unless otherwise specified....Appenzeller were CA$25 (24.99) for 2023....They also ship eggs. I don't see 2024 pages up yet, but people are maybe ordering now and it gets put in a queue? Also they say to check their Facebook page, and I don't see anything for 2024 there yet.

"You can find us in Delta, BC and we ship live birds Canada wide. You can email us at [email protected]. We appreciate your message and we will address your specific enquiry as soon as we can. " Also "If we have not communicated with you prior to your order form and you have an important question or request relating to your order, please send us an email first, instead of writing it down the comments part of the order form so we are certain not to miss it.

Also @Ponypoor Mt. Lehman's? https://mtlehmanmeadows.com/chickens
Their web page is very old (2019) but there's contact information and they used to ship all across Canada
