Kathy can the little yellow wagon be pulled by Fred and Wilma???
Thats a beautiful hen and her babies !
I got major bummer news this morn from the vet,
I can't take the Icelandics across Canada, nor get them through the border station into Alaska.
I can have a zillion flown in, but cant transport them . And where I will be doesnt have delivery mail, and they dont handle chicks well. So its a blind canyon. Either I get some from someone already in Alaska or hatch eggs.
I am looking at options, long story short, mine are available to someone here in MI, I will drive to someone, to meet them halfway. I am just 40 miles from Grayling on I 75, hour and a half north of Saginaw, and 48 miles south of Alpena, just 4 miles from Lake Huron.
The price is 3-4 dz eggs mailed to me in AK from my featherlegged rooster and the hens, there will be five of them, several are staying with an Amish family here along with a rooster I gave them last year. With a pullet. I also have available a large BBR RC rooster from first week of June 2011. He was the largest in his hatch, good breeder and very active.
When Daron told about his problems I dosed mine with the Denaguard, have had no problems of any kind with them. I could sell them, I'd far rather place them with a breer here.
There is one self Blue hen, the Contessa, black with gold laced cape, and 3 wheaten hens, all but one hen is crested, and all are RCs but one hen which has a half and half comb.
So, two roosters, one tight feathered featherlegged BBR and one BBR , both have RCs. And the five hens which are laying well.
This hurts, but not as much as it did for Farmer Boy, that was a serious crunch.
Life is good, and better with Icelandic Chickens !
