"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[Melnic]

I question that this is a EE roo unless he calls any mix a EE. EE'ers have dark legs in the pic they look tan. Here's picks of my cream legbar and Bielefelders roo. The legbar is 4 months old and just started mounting poulets yesterday.

Actually the colors must be off bc they looked almost a cream color a month ago but seemed to have darkened to a light grayish with speckles. Knowing the "friend" of my husband...it probably is a barnyard mix:/

I don't change it. I do deep litter. Just keep adding about and inch or two ever so often. I do the fermented feed deal and the poop just disintegrates. It's a great idea about the little dump trucks.

I'm in the sticks with no kids around.

Shoot! Kids= free labor!!!

LOL! I wish I wasn't on my phone so I could add emojis!

I'll be so glad to have this finished. I have birds I want to put in it, so that I could maybe be getting some australorp chicks... Chicken math has me I swear!

I have an australorp. Her name is Tater (don't ask, my boys names most of my birds

). She's a sweetie. She's the first one to run and greet me when I'm walking from the house to the barn area. She usually is the first one to "sample" whatever treat I have with me. She's also pretty good at jumping up to grab her treats.

We finally finished the pen today. We checked in at around $250, with about 12 hours put in. We could have done things differently, but I am VERY pleased with how it came out. Our biggest goal was saving money while not sacrificing quality. Our doors and locks hardware don't match, but it saved us money and didn't hurt anything but aesthetics. It's already halfway full.

We temporarily put a momma hen with 11 babies in the bottom pen, have a new zealand buck in one pen, and 10 marans chicks in the other. We are supposed to go pick up some more rabbits tomorrow, so it will undoubtedly be full by then. I already want four more just like it!
