Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[maryhysong]

Does anybody know what color the eggs would be if I used an Austalorp Roo and a Marans Hen?

probably just lighter browns/tans. Even crossing two lines of Marans you get lighter egg color the first generation and have to breed back to the parents to help darken it up in the second and third generation. Of course breeding Marans x Ameraucana gives you olive eggers

I have been buried in front of my PC for weeks.


Check out our website in my signature. It was a massive undertaking

We just got hit by a massive storm at the farm

The roof held up well but the beach front fence got wiped.

Hey oz. I'm sure you will use a bit of good old Aussie initiative and whack it back up.

We will but the fence is made from the thickest part of construction bamboo buried five feet in the ground. It's rotted out at the ground level.

We will re-use the bamboo as palings on a new cinder block and concrete post based fence.

It will have to be at least 4 feet underground as in January storms sometime push waves up to the fence line

Now there's that unbeatable Aussie spirit.

Haha, jury rigging is the unbeateable Ozzy spirit? (There's also a joke in there somewhere about Australian ancestry and rigged juries, I just can't think of a good one.)

Oz, the website looks informative and purposeful, but if I might be allowed to offer the tiniest iota of criticism, I might rethink the styling a bit still (unless it is supposed to be catered to a Filipino public, and that is closer to what websites usually look like in that part of the world).

Also, the title reads 'CcocBeach Poultry Home' instead of 'Coco... '
