Hi everybody. I've been lurking and learning here for awhile but I thought it was time to say hi

. I've got a mixed backyard flock of 2 araucana, 1 easter egger, 1 Amber white, 1 barred rock, 2 buff Orpington and a Wyandotte rooster. I'm getting some meat birds this summer. I think the roo will be going for a ride with those meat birds this summer. His new nickname is stew

. Anyway I just thought I would introduce myself. Oh and I'm sure you guessed but I'm a Yooper from near escanaba.

My rooster is 16 weeks this weekend. No crowing yet! His face isn't red at all, it looks pullet-like. Yet he has saddle feathers, I will post picture tomorrow. Is fertile eggs too much to ask for?

Here's a couple of a tree on my property. I have I think 5 like these. Not sure if it's a maple or not.






Here's one of my RIRs, laying on it's back for some reason while I was petting it. Seems to like belly rubs?




The rest are of my murder of crows.... I mean, black australorp pullets

I don't think our older dog is doing all that well tonight, he keeps kinda hacking like he wants to throw up tonight. Starting to wonder if its about his time. Miss Belle would be so sad to loose her grandpa.

Welcome to Mi BYC so good to see so many new people joining. welcome to chicken madness

sorry about you dog, always hard to loose them but some times they surprise you and last a lot longer then you think

Said to say it but Zack passed away this morning. I think even if he was still around this morning we was probably going to take him to the vet.

Dug a grave for him in mom's flower garden, where some of our other dogs are at. Hit a little bit of frost digging down, but not really a rock hard frost.

wow that turned quick so sorry for your loss. I dread the day I start to lose mine. My "first" dog, IE one that I got myself after buying my first house is now about 6.


Well wishes your way.

He was 15 years old, and well, an old dog. he had kinda been getting thinner lately. we had been kind of expecting it to happen sooner or later.

15 is a good long life for a dog. I'm sure you made it great
