"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[Cody A]

Cody, I got a new batch of biefelders from GFF. The females are darker than the one's I have. The are quick to catch on too. After two days in a tote they are already jumping out. Jumping in the tote in the pick above. Running around like crazy. I had to move some juvies in a coop to get them in a brooder. Can't wait to see if they stay darker. Pam

Pam, I can't guess the breed.

Did GFF tell you what strain they sent? Guess it will be 7-8 months before you have eggs from them.

That's a cutie!!!

Wow! Your Jeff Lay hen is a mighty expensive bird then

My hat's off to you for sticking it out. I know it was very frustrating

At least you are at a starting point. I would cringe every time I let them out to free range. Funny how it worked out with the ideal order.

Your new chicks are like gold pieces with legs.

Yes she is,but she is a beautiful dark color, much darker than the hatchery birds. The roo Buddy Boy thinks that she is a beauty too... He has 9 hens and she appears to be his favorite. I had to put a saddle on her because she was getting a bald spot on her back. All of the other girls are not having that problem.

Speckled sussex. He's my only roo. But he makes GORGEOUS babies!

I'm hatching speckled sussex babies and eggs from the orps and layers that went to live with TD. Seven, now, and 10 pips. e

That's so funny. They realize they can't stop chicken math. Lol!! I bet he tells you to sell some when they get bigger. Pam
