He has Blk,wht, buff, molted,red laced
He also has LG FOWL Cornish as well.This is a breed that's not promoted well so.
 If anyone is interested in buying also.Let me know...

Oh bantam Cornish! I really shouldn't but I think I will! Ill take one of each color in the bantam variety. Pullet if possible x

Until about an hour ago, yes. Now it's just gray with the sun attempting to peek through and the wind starting back up. So done with this weather.

one of the things that sucks is I know I can't really have teh birds I want to ... blue andalusens again .... oh well would just freeze em anyway

yeah, the big combs are kinda tricky.

I actually bought some leghorn chicks this year. Is there a bigger comb in the entire chicken breed kingdom? What was I thinking????

What was I thinking? (egg production, I was thinking highest egg production of white eggs)

I have insulated my coop this year for the first time, and I am going to upgrade everything, so we will see how they do.


Several years back I had a cold (for Homer) winter and I had some frost bite. Some roosters got their toes really frostbit, so I just ate those (I was too scared to see how it would progress). A few combs got frost bite too, but the 'bad' parts just died and fell off, not as bad as I thought it would be, but also not something I want to repeat (which is why I am upgrading everything)

As to the snow, Homer doesn't *USUALLY* have any snowfall after the first week of May.

Not sure about the rest of Alaska though, is snow this late normal for the rest of you'll???? I had at least an inch again this morning! The stuff that fell on snow stuck, but the stuff that fell on already melted areas melted after noon.

I wonder if you could dock those combs.. When I was a kid in Arkansas..I went to school with some fellas my age that raised and fought birds,,,I mean we were just 10 to 12 yrs old. But they showed me how they docked the combed when they were young. So when they fought them less chance of injury...Wonder if this would work for big combed birds raised in Alaskas cold climate..Sound good?

Sound alike a plan
