Thank you

Thank you so much for your reply. We like the breeds, but we are in So. Illinois near Princeton, IN so that is a little far to travel.

Well it's been a busy weekend. we finally got the permanent doors on the coop after a year of having a hideous old brown door on it. DH got the in-barn coop built sans door. We are getting that this week. My roosters are ticking me off. They are tearing my girls up awful still. I don't know what to do. They both are very sweet to people and each other and the hens in general, but the over mating is getting old. Maybe I should put them in a coop together for awhile and give the girls a break or something. The next couple of weeks are going to be crazy. We have alpaca shearing coming up and I feel like I'm not getting anything done that I need to. Anyway, hope everyone had a nice weekend. Here's some pics of ours.

The in-barn coop

Our former koi pond becoming a flower garden

Some of the farm

New coop door on side to replace the old ugly one

If anyone ever wanted to know what alpaca fleece looks like before shearing, here you go. They aren't fat. Is all fluff!

And some of the fluffy butts.


And finally I chose which boy to keep from my last hatch. It was hard to choose but I like him best for some reason.


Okay now that I hijacked the thread, Im going to go eat dinner.

Hello
just found this thread, I'm in Markleville... close to Anderson. I have LF Brahmas. I'm adding Blue and Buff Orpington's to the flock, they are 3 weeks old and I have 5 blues with 12 brahmas do to hatch tomorrow.

Welcome! It is a busy thread and a lot of fun! Beautiful birds!

Lol, Leslea, ignore that I meant just a barred rock.

Shows how spacey I can be sometimes huh?

Okay! I was searching my mind...I've gotten so good at recognizing all the acronyms! Thought maybe it was something new.

I have quail! 2 little cortnix so far, many others trying.

So, does anyone know who has guinea keets in Southern Indiana? I think my local feed store gets them but they may make you buy 12-15 and I don't want that many. Thinking after having two snakes in the yard today I could use a couple of guineas. The first one we only noticed after the dog killed it. Here's the 2nd one:



I would rather buy from someone off the board if I can, if it's not too much of a drive. Thanks.

Welcome. Beautiful brahmas. One of my favorite breeds.
