last night I put together my BCM/BLCM breeding pen .so I move them in a month time I will start collecting they fertile eggs . I want to fire up the bator around Xmas time , that will give me 3 or 4 months of hatching .
2 breeding roosters I m using together with 12 selected hens .first is Copper nile super large and heavy with well feathered feet , the second is Phil short and stoky clean legs . both rooster have a complete body patern and stunning copper . Copper Nile has a black chest without ant marking but Phil has copper marking on his chest .
the hens are 4 Black copper - LoveSong . Madonna ,Amor and Philipine .
8 BLCM hens Dark Angel , Queen , measha , Fiona , shazia , sahara , shiny moon and blosom .
8 hens are very large the other 4 are midium all have long flat back and small pointed tail at the right angle . no more high tails for me .
not all of them lay dark eggs . .
some have nice combs other have bad combs .all have midium to lot legs feathering .

very hard to take single photos when they are croweded in one pen.
I ll keep them locked in for 3 to 4 days to get them used to they new home and they new nest boxes .

it is mid november and it is still dry here, no grass. from that point of view I did not loose the opportunity to garden. without rain gardening is not profitable. veggies on the farmer's market are cheaper than water.

I googled -40 f to c and it says it is -40 c. I googled again and found the same result. -25 f = -31,667 c.

btw, the lowest temperature I experienced is -25 c, should be -13 f. no more winter sports for me.

as I explained in my previous post they talk about -40 c!

the funny thing is that -40 is the same in both Celsius and Fahrenheit! Still cold, yes.

Someday, I will have my breeder barn. I am going to get there.
