Yes the are! We won't make that go away for you here - we are enablers!
Did a bunch of catching up reading this morning! I've been at home in bed due to an impacted wisdom tooth with my whole right side face swollen ridiculously big. Going for surgery today! little man is getting big
I think he was laughing at my chipmunk face!
And we found these next to my garden
He is just precious!
I have finally had a chance to get some pics of the chicken housing that my DH has so diligently worked on for me. I am so thankful that he is able to build like this. I help as I can but he has done all of it himself and sometimes with a friend of ours. I just love the sand because it makes it SOO much easier to keep clean and and thus, minimize the nasty flies. I've still got a few things I'm tinkering with but so far, it is working well.
The baby area allows the younger chicks to play and try their wings without being bossed around by the older hens. When there are no babies, I just leave the door open and the hens will lay eggs in those nest boxes.
This (above) is in the big run area looking into the baby area.
Baby area with nest boxes for later.
Other side of baby area with cages for youngest ones.
West half of the larger run/roost area.
Rooster living quarters and guineas at night.
You cant really see the 3 separate rooster pens in there, but there are 3 and then where you see the guinea is a large open area for them to go at night. The roosters get that area during the day. Today, I attached several 10' dog run panels to the outside of the rooster area so they can go outside in the grass if they want. It also gives me another place to put the ones who decide to act mean!
Hopefully, I can find someone to take the 10 roosters I don't need and there will be a lot less rooster drama....ugh! Too bad there isn't a way to get all the hatching eggs to be hens.....
Happy 4th!

p.s. Good Morning !
Good morning folks and welcome livelifebyluck
yes...........we have EEs of most any crossing or can breed some
for folks and we have Olive Eggers. I use Orpingtons or Marans
to make the Olive Eggers and Ameracanas or Auracanas for the
other half on the Olive Eggers and yes I have some frizzled EE roos
to add in. I'm sure other folks here have EEs and OEs as well.
I need to tame the jungle......again already......dang stuff is growing
fast. Good thing I love to mow the lawn.
hope everyone has a good day
