Looks like I'm getting better at sexing.

Selling these two hens.

Preparing for the snow were supposed to get tomorrow. Wrapped up the one pen with plastic, its mostly wire and the snow will blow in otherwise I wouldn't bother. Took some pictures of sale birds, cleaned a coop, moved birds around.

I got 2 dozen eggs from CJ this summer but had a lousy hatch rate due to my own fault (my humidity was way too high I guess, I didn't know about dry-incubating then. All but 5 or 7 of the eggs developed to full term, but then all but 4 died in the egg, so, I'm pretty sure it was my incubating.) ANYWAY, I got some lovely boys from the hatch. (All 4 that hatched turned out to be boys, lol.) Here are some pics of 3 of them..

I love them. They have the best personalities, I took them to a local event and there was constantly kids & people coming over to pet them. They LOVED it. They love being held and snuggled too. (Of course, don't all Silkies?
