Welcome back! Sorry for your loss. I am glad you are getting a good start. Looking forward to seeing pictures as they grow.Hello All,
It’s been a long while since I’ve been on BYC. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks catching up on this thread.
As for me, I lost most of my Marans last summer except for 3 of my older hens (2 BLCM and 1 SC). I lost both of my breeder coqs, Otis and Briscoe, in 2018. The 38 GFF BCM Chicks I got last spring all died by mid-summer. These setbacks took a toll on my drive and passion so I decided to take time away from breeding the chooks.
It’s taken a long while but I’m getting back in the saddle. This past weekend I acquired 20 BCM Chicks from a breeder in South Louisiana. I’ve also been in contact with Harvey Moore about acquiring 2 started quads of BCMs (hopefully by this fall). My thinking is that by working with 2 separate lines I will have more options in the future.
I will post pics of the new chicks soon. I look forward to reconnecting with you all.
Take Care,
Keith
