Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

[autumnhearth]

I'm SO excited. Austra, my 27 week old Austra White is finally laying!!!!! She gave me the lightest tinted egg. It's almost white next to the White Maran egg that Aurora lays. Now I just need Emma the Speckled Sussex to give me an egg. These three have to be my egg supply for the winter while all the little ones grow out!

Congrats! Love the white speckles! Aurora's eggs are darker than I would have expected! More speckles! Will be excited to see the SS as well! Would love to see pics of your little ones

Cute fur babies all!

Those ears are too precious!!

cute babies!

Two White Maran eggs with the Austra White egg. Thank you girls!

such pretty eggs and the contrast between the light creaming colored egg and the dark brown. I believe our Dark Cornish lay a beige almost cream color. So what are your Marans like, personality wise? We have a neighbor down the road who has cuckoo Marans, wouldn't mind picking up a breed that lays the chocolate eggs and maybe a white layer. Looking forward to our little breeding programs next spring and those baby chicks!

So it has been snowing in Colorado, storm moved in yesterday. Woke up to 4 inches and 12 degrees. Suppose to be 10 tomorrow for the high and low of 2. Fed the gang some oatmeal with BSM, flax and chia seeds for breakfast this am.....brrr I am kicking and screaming into winter.

We went to bed with snow and 9 degrees. Woke up to 6deg and a couple inches of snow. DH was making me feel guilty last night for leaving the barn kitten out in the tack room. He was fine overnight and today, but I brought him into the house tonight. I couldn't get any light bulbs to work to give him heat so I felt bad leaving him out there after last night and today of freezing weather. Couldn't keep his water defrosted either.
My friend's stupid chicken will not go in the coop. When I got home tonight she was huddled next to the door covered in snow. I'm sure she's been there all day. Stupid chicken!
I'm really annoyed my door isn't working. I need to get it working then build another for the other coop so I won't have to go out at night any more!

I am NOT ready for winter! There was no easing into this one. 68 on Sunday, 10 today. I had to dig out my winter clothes in a hurry.

Yikes! We may get some snow showers tomorrow and in the next three days but it will only be in the 30s, not single digits! I'm not ready for that. The last two days have been absolutely gorgeous in the 60s. Sigh. Stay warm everyone.

We had 68deg on Sunday! It was too drastic of a storm. I don't mind cold but 30 would've been nice for our first big storm of the season, work us into winter.

I can't even IMAGINE those temps! It's always summer here in Hawaii . I'd freeze to death in the mainland lol

Just a little reminder of last winter!!!! phewwww.... can it be this bad again??

I'm in PA so I think you are the closest to me and most similar weather.... we're getting ready for a cold blast on Thurs and then really cold next week. I'm putting the heaters under the waterers tomorrow and put one board up to block wind under the little coop so I hope they hang out under there to stay warmer. But I bet no matter what I do they'll find their own place to hang out and just figure it out.

cute babies!

If it makes you feel any better I heard it is -24 in Montana... not wind chill!!
Your girls look like they don't mind to much though.
What is BSM you said is in the oatmeal? LOL, I always give them warm wet feed and have never tried oatmeal... I should give it a try. Bet they'd like it.

I think I'll make some warm oatmeal for the flocks tomorrow. They'll need it. Supposed to get down to -2 tonight.

A couple of our birds hadn't seen snow before this morning. Our CCL girl didn't want to touch the ground. She flew from the coop to the opposite side of the run and then back. She kept jumping and flying to wherever she wanted to be. lol I think they all hung out inside the coop after they got their food this morning. I'm going to feed them inside the coops tomorrow so they won't have to come out at all. Our high will only be 7 tomorrow!
