Project: Crested EE

[2ndTink]

All project birds for Project Crested EE are in their own pen now. I am adding another 9ft by 18ft to the pen to alleviate stress on the roosters and one hen that has a very timid personality.

So as of today I'm counting down three months till I can be sure the eggs from the pen will be either roosters. So eggs should be ready by Feb 15th 2025 for this project.

The extension for this project pen is almost done. About four more loads of sand to shore up the back, zip tie the two together, make the cutout between them and wrap three sides with 4ft tall hardware cloth.

I'll be adding a door to the outside of that extension at a later date. I contacted the company to see if I could buy the door assembly separately. If I can not I'll just add another segment of the same type pen once ordered.

I might switch out the Crevecoeur for sanjack long crowers. They have about the same body but the sanjack has a Spitzhauben like crest that I really want on these. Spitzhauben will be added in as well.

Shady Grove (in WV) has some great sanjaks, but I'm not sure if they're breeding right now. Maybe they have some adults available? They had some roosters at a poultry swap about a month ago and they looked like great candidates for your project.

I'm looking at a place in FL that has a silver blue rooster or I'll go black with leakage as the Ameraucana rooster is lavender. I'll do hatching eggs as I would hate to have an adult bird shipped.

I didn't even know they had one! I've just seen their chickens around and they have great form and temperaments, so I thought I'd recommend lol. At least now I know I can get eggs from them instead of chicks or adults

So even with the expansion of the pen the lavender Ameraucana male Nimbus wasn't letting up on chasing the Crevecoeur Thunder around the pen many times a day. I have removed Nimbus and he's back in the mixed population for now. He may get his own pen in the future.

Lol, went to check on every one and Nimbus is dust bathing in the main pen with all the littles. Knew there was another reason he's a keeper.
