INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[SallyinIndiana]

Brought the barn cats in the house. They are very content.
Keep warm guys.

our two have been going in and out all day. They are too valuable to loose to freezing.

Chick Rookie snagged the bulk of them - all except the Cochins and the BLRW (those are going to Brad and SallyInIndiana). Maybe you can sweet talk her into giving up one of the EE's? I'm open to it if she is I just want good homes for them, poor things getting uprooted in the middle of winter.

That's what we all want for our chicks, eh? Going to a good home. I'm sure there will be opportunities this Spring. Like I said, we don't have any way to quarantine them right now.

Last pen. Set up for my Cream Crested Legbars (and a few other stragglers)

This is Merlin. He's got the proper Cream Legbar coloring. His tail is a bit of a mess, because he didn't fare too well with the other roos in the laying flock. He's also the first chick I ever hatched.

Thought I'd put another photo of Charlie in to contrast what a Legbar too looks like if they don't inherit cream.

This is Guenivere. Second chick I hatched out. She has a bit too much gold to be a perfect breeder, and she has a major limp from a leg injury. It's bad enough she may never lay, but she has nothing to worry about though. She and Merlin hav a golden ticket to live their life out on the farm, since they are my first two hatchlings.

These are 4 Dark Cornish pullets from Lil Americauna Mom. I call them the grumble sisters. They are always muttering to each other, no matter where they are. Even in the dark on the roost. Not laying yet, but they are my partners favorites.

This is my Legbar pullet that just started laying. I think she has lots of potential. Good coloring, nice crest, nice yellow legs.

This is my second leg bar pullet. Not laying yet, but good potential.

Another shot of Merlin. He's had a rough life, sole hatchling of 7 eggs. Survived an attack by my turkeys that I luckily saw and broke up. Then a couple months at the bottom of the too totem pole with the laying flock. He's all full of himself now that he's the only Roo in his pen.

I love the crests on the CCL hens!

This is my buff laced polish girl. I put her in here so I will know when she starts laying. She is the only white egg layer in the pen. The CCLs lay blue, and the cornish will be brown.



Wow, I forgot how many birds y'all have. That's a lot of fowl poop to clean up, eh? You guys are just getting started out there too, so maybe you don't have any smell yet? Dang commercial poultry farmers!

Does anyone know of a pekin breeder around here?:cd

One of our EEs refused to come out of the fir tree last night. I was really worried and pretty much resigned to losing her, but when I got up this morning there she was in the tree, moving about and making noises at me. DH put out some cracked corn for her and then captured her. That's one tough bird!

They can surprise you. I had two, ironically easter eggers, sleep outside all winter one year. I would catch them and put them in the coop, but It didn't matter. They would just go right back out.

My friends chicken sleeps I a tree all the time. She is so cute!

Had to go pick up an Rx so I thought I'd drop by the grocery since I was out and get the girls some bread as a treat.
Here's the bread aisle:

Here's the OJ:

And who knew Ramen noodles are a staple?
