We a lot of hawks around here. We also have quite a few eagles my mom saw a juvenile one this morning. Thank God none have tried to get my chickens!

On the home page carousel there's a pic for breeds. What is that very attractive black bird with the white penciling?
I think I am in love

Anyone know?

Yep...those are the kind I got at Tractor Supply for similar price. I haven't used any. I keep wondering how hard it will be to cut them off when they need to be removed.

One of our WONDERFUL IN people sent me some of 3 different kinds of bands to try out and see what kind I like! Got them this morning

$3 a bag for 100 ties. I didn't think that was too bad.

exciting!!

It is! I'm iffy on their colors now. They dried off a bit and look lighter. So splash or white maybe. I will be able to tell better tomorrow.

I'm jealous of all the people that are getting/hatching chicks right now. Can't wait to get some!

It's a lot to deal with in the winter. My silkies are still residing in our den. Since we are having another polar vortex coming, I guess they will stay there longer than I planned.

I know! I'm so ready to park in the garage again! I'm tired of the cold and ready for all the chickens to be outside!

That is a silver double-laced Barnevelder bantam from Greenfire Farms. Aren't they just so impossibly gorgeous? Definitely on my wishlist!

We have one thats very bold. Perches in the huge dogwood in the middle of the property.
I see it when I go out and do the night time checks on my coops.
It was a lot of fun  
I hope we can have another get together.

I really enjoyed it too. I told my dh I was inviting you all over here too, but Patricks house is nicer

[COLOR=0000FF]My flock now is very small compared to earlier 2000 when I had as many as 67 birds.  I am now down to less than a dozen and these are all fairly OLD.  I have 2 beautiful frizzled roo's.  I have a partridge silky hen, a New Hampshire hen, a blue Cochin, a very old white cochin hen, a white leghorn mixed hen and a couple others.  I am getting a pair of white frizzled cochins and am hen sitting 2 buff orpington hens. The four I just mentioned are less than a year old.  I also have a very sick little black frizzled hen who is currently a house hen.  Her name is Friday's GirL and she has a cyst in her reproduction area that is growing and compromising her other organs.  I will be lucky to have her for another month.  [/COLOR]

It's nice to meet you

Good luck!
