International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

[KF0002]

How has everyone been? I was out moving my birds around and took a couple pictures of my grow outs and figured I'd share. Im happy with them and think i'l be able to do good things with them, i got some that are perfect, some that are colorful and some that are a little overmelanized. But i think I'll be able to pair them accordingly and get some really decent birds.View attachment 1460885 View attachment 1460857 View attachment 1460862 View attachment 1460864 View attachment 1460870 View attachment 1460873 View attachment 1460876 View attachment 1460879 View attachment 1460880 View attachment 1460881 View attachment 1460882 View attachment 1460883 View attachment 1460886

Well, I lost my White Cockeral. I am so bummed. Part of me just wants to give up. I bathed it back side blow dried it. Looked good and must have had a heart attack or aspirated???? I didn't get any water near his face. That really sucks!!!!

sorry for your loss.

I remember chooks man saying: that's chook's life, one day they run next day they are dead. I guess we have to learn to live with that.

It's not much but it works for me, this winter i'l be clearing some property and building 4- 25'x50 grow out pens and I'll use my current setup strictly for breeding. Excuse the plywood, it gets hot and they get behind it to get out the sun.

I salvaged everything i use to build, except the chicken wire. There's no rule saying its got to be pretty. I just keep building on to it as i need.

Wow I love that setup! You are quite handy!

So sorry about this!

Thank you! It was a bummer. I have three really nice white pullets though. I may get some White hatching eggs. My last couple of shipments of eggs where scrambled. Praying these do better. My Birchen and Blue Birchen shipped out today. They should be here Wednesday. Praying they all make it.
