Minnesota!

400


So I get home for lunch and dish out the daily handful of scratch to the chicken mafia that refuse to leave my garage until they get their goods. I count heads. No Sylvia. I go around the house and here's she's trucking back up from the coop. Singing her Whiney tune. I think should I go check? 3 1/2 year old hen. Finished molting in July. I go down. Nada in the front nests and in the preferred up high nest -- nada.

I go outside and lift the heavy lid and in the far back nest full of cob webs and floating feathers...is this sneaky clutch of 5 Sylvia eggs and 2 Lucy eggs. God bless the Wyandotte! SLW and RLBW. The creamette and those two are tooling around with Roger today and I wonder if we'll be adding a little blue egg to my fall collection...?!

I love chickens. And no wonder Cyrus you are so giddy. :lol:

Where better to ask....does anybody know of someone who has Black Copper Maran pullets? I only want 2....and by 2 that probably means I'll end up with 8! I'd buy chicks from a hatchery, but 2 doesn't meet any minimum orders. I was recommended to Northstar Marans in Chisago, but when I contacted them, it sounds like they only have breeding stock right now. Running out of ideas. Otherwise, I was thinking I'd just wait until spring and visit a tractor supply or find someone to split an order with.

Just to set the record straight, the natural predator which kept the wolf population in check was the Sasquatch. The Native Americans hunted that species to near extinction I am told. The lone exception being the one under contract to Jack Link and appearing in the Link TV commercials.
Varmints or no varmints, it is always a great day to be a keeper of poultry.

Messing with Sasquatch.....love it!
