Well we are starting over. So no giant fluffy birds here yet.

We had a lot of bad stuff happen so we are redesigning the chicken area, starting tear down and building new improved chicken run, actually multiple ones, all will be enclosed completely to prevent hawk attacks... and we are making it harder for humans to get to our birds too (we had our big birds and a few bantams stolen)... it’s a major rebuild of chicken area and flock rebuilding. So no breeding this year of any breed... (we have birds left just not ones for this project).

Well, that just stinks.

Hopefully you get everything fixed up, & situated.

Got my breeding group set for F2 Giant Silkie backcrosses. Hopefully there's little to no flaws with the back cross offspring.
