Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

They are cold hardy meaning they are okay with the cold weather, I only have hens of that breed. I might have to Vaseline them once or twice a week, just the combs. That's just to prevent frostbite, there combs are huge! The ones in the pic are only pullets. They get to 4-5 lbs. They need to free range, don't do good with confinement all the time. My whole flock goes out for 6 hours a day. I plan on buying hatching eggs when my source gets there breeding pens up and running.
they are very attractive!, sleek, nice. how is their temperament? flighty/ friendly..
 
What in the world is in Carlisle that you guys would drive out here??


We had a cousin's birthday party.


..it does take awhile to get settled in. been here 1 & 1/2yrs and still have stuff in boxes...:idunno , don't even remember what's in most of them..must not be too important..


We are coming up on the 4 year mark and JUST TODAY put curtains up in the bedroom. Many more windows remain curtain less....I'm really not the interior designer that DH wishes I was. I'm WAY more interested In Getting some decent fencing and perhaps a barn?

It was an interesting adventure processing 27 birds yesterday with Bruce. My friend that has a plucker forgot to bring it with him to work and we ended up doing them all by hand. For further reference. 27 birds are WAY too many to mess around with at one shot with two people and no plucker. 6 1/2-7 hrs later we got it done. I was up till later last night cleaning up and messing with the incubator. YEs! I messed with the incubator. Rookie move. Some were bad and I was concerned. The dry temp spiked to 110 and I kinda freaked. So 4 babies prematurely met their end. :(
 
OH! Wingstone guess what!? That Lil barred Cochin. It's a flipping roo! Sob started making noise yesterday. Today it's a full out crow! WTH. Thought oh heck, her comb was turning red and getting huge and than BAM she crows.
