Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

All the water is amazing! I will try and be thankful we only have a bit of snow. DH has gone down by Lansing for a predator hunting get together. He'll be right in the middle of all the flooding.

Here is a picture of two of my broodies, I have a couple more, but these two always share the box.


I bought the last of the bantams at TSC for a $1 each to put under them tonight, hopefully it works because there is no place in here for them. They are in a tote at the moment.

Your not located in the Birch Run/ Millington area are you?!?! Looks like a set of trees and barn I drive by LOL

No, I'm not. More West Michigan/Central area.

We got our first bantam cochins from them, which is actually from Townline. The rooster ended up being very mean

Townline isn't doing bantam cochins now. FFandH ordered these and a few other kinds.

Yikes Sarah! When I drove up your road last year, all I thought about what a scare it could give you in the winter!

Standing up for one's rights can have myriad consequences.

Last week I was found guilty of criminal chicken keeping. I now have to report to Probation for a pre-sentence recommendation before the actual sentencing.

Now today, I received two (2) notice to appear tickets for additional charges. Add in another pending case and I have five separate cases in Garden City.

Who painted that big target on my back?

I hope they don't find out that I removed the mattress tag.

So sorry Raz! That is absolutely ridiculous!!! How can it be criminal to keep chickens??? I don't understand . . .

All I keep thinking about this water ...
No wonder why The Great Lakes are low... It's all in these yards!!!! And FWIW, I do not live in a floodplain nor on a river bank.

Kimmie good luck. Sorry but I haven't learned the name of that natural healing stuff yet. I think you must buy it online.

RaZ- sorry to hear about things, unbelievable the way some things are. Seems like there are bigger issues out there in this world.

In all of this flooding, here is a bright shiny spot. My CCL chicks:

Two males and SEVEN females!!! WOOT!!!

 

[HollyDuckFarmer]

That is awesome ratio! Good job!

 

[tdhenson86]

That is awesome ratio! Good job!

Thanks! I'm so happy that God smiled on those hens as they laid my eggs.

I'll take 2 males and 7 females any day.

I think the 1 of the 4 marans chicks (straight run) I bought earlier this month may turn out to be a roo. 1 is clean-legged, 3 have light feathering. The one that I suspect may end up being a cockerel has the start of a comb - much more so than the others. I don't know if that is an indicator or not . . . They are from the same parents so I may end up having to try to swap him out for an unrelated rooster later on . . .
