Our Roost,
I looked up the bluelaced red Wyandotte, and wow, what a pretty bird! Do you have a breeding pair you are selling?

I agree they are pretty. I wish it wasn't winter or I would be considering road trip. We usually go camping up that way in the summer.

Happy Solstice Everyone!!

Haven't posted here for a long time...or maybe ever.

Just wondering of anyone near Paw Paw Michigan wants this 8 month old Dark Brahma mix rooster.
Not a great pic, 2 roos Sr. in front, Jr in back, they look like twins.
Pic was taken a months or so ago while Sr was molting, Jr's hackles and saddle are fully filled out like Sr's now.
He's a pretty mellow guy, just not enough room, or hens, for 2 boys.


I know it's long shot, but you never know.


He'll be stew if no one wants him.

Happy solstice, y'all. The days are getting longer.

​

Here is a site with a good bit of info on the solstice, http://earthsky.org/earth/everything-you-need-to-know-december-solstice#when

It looks like another day of 40 plus degrees. And more drizzling rain. My backyard looks like a muddy lake. If this stuff freezes a hockey game might break out. Heck, I turned the waterfall pump on for the pond. The wild birds drink water from the overflow pipe.
