I'm bored with brown eggs. I really wish my leghorns didn't die. I'd like to replace my slackers with brown or Isabelle leghorns. I need more room!

I am hoping to have a number of white egg laying breeds for sale next spring:
California Greys
Norwegian Jaerhons
Mille Fleur Leghorns

Also, if you want blue eggs or green eggs:
Blue Egg Black Sexlinks
Ameraucanas
Cream Legbars
Olive Eggers

Some of these I could hatch now, but it is getting late in the season, so I'm only hatching for specific orders. The incubator is running and lots of empty space in there . . .

I have 3 OE pullets, 1 CL, 1 Sapphire and 1 CLxbrown egg rooster pullet. Maybe in the spring I'll have room for white layers. Right now I'm maxed out in my coop. And over my township limit .

What breed is she!

She is a Nigerian Dwarf. She's been purchased and is ready for pick up, but the buyers haven't been responding to my emails....which I'm pretty happy about. She and her sister are quite entertaining.

Be careful out there! And catch lots of fish!

It has been really chilly lately. Summer has gone too fast. I'm adding some nesting boxes to the coop this weekend and then going to start preparing for winter. I think I'll tarp up a run for the chickens. Last winter they were free-range but ended up hiding in places with no snow (under a tree, or porch) and wouldn't come home! What do you guys do for your chickens in the winter?

We tarp our runs, we had an Amish fellow sew up panels for the main coop run, they have windows in them and a roll up door for people access. The tarps go around the roofed area to provide about 350 sq ft of enclosed outdoor space. On our secondary coops we have tarped the sides of the runs and some we used the clear roofing panels around the bottom to provide a more solid wind break. Sort of create a greenhouse effect for them also.

Well, we got out later than planned after doing a couple of maintenance chores on the boat and around camp, but we did great, it ended up being a great late afternoon and we caught 2 limits of fish in just over two hours, and we threw back another dozen or so which were just at or slightly under legal size (legal is 15" but we don't keep below 16"). We were back in camp in time for a late evening meal and a relaxed evening.

Sounds like a fantastic day. We spent the day painting DD's bedroom and making Feed Bag Totes for a 4-H Fundraiser. Ya know....there's a reason why some people just have no business owning a sewing machine (I'd be one of those people)
