Howdy All,
I've been out and about for the past several months...and haven't been on.. I wanted to say HOWDY
to all of the new folks out there! And also Howdy to the rest!
As some of you know, we started a new ISP in Richland Parish and been working on that, plus all of the trips to keep these radio and television stations on the air are keeping me hopping. Just an update on my little flock...
I built a new coop yesterday to start splitting up my flock of BA, BO, BR, EE, and Coronations. I still have 1 Speckled Sussex from my starting flock of 3 years ago. Each of the other breads I have a trio at least.. the Coronations I have 1 Roo 2 hens and 1 split white hen. And the Barred Rocks I have 3 hens one roo. I am almost 90 precent finished with my breeding pens made out of old pallets, and some tin I pulled off an old roof. I just have to give it siding and figure out to check the nesting boxes. I like enclosed coops.
My new coop is built out of an plastic water tank.. It's huge. I put in a roost, nesting box, and a nice 15 X 15 run. I'll try to post a pic. I put my BA, and Coronations in it.
The Seremas are all doing well also, building them an outdoor coop hopefully this weekend as well. When I'm away, they don't always get to go outside, so I am going to make them a fair weather coop that will be good for most of the year. Bring them inside only when it gets too cold or windy for my little bitty chickens (though they don't know they are chickens).
Joe
