[ericinga]

A lazy summer day with the Easter hatch a long grow outs! All are 1st import Silverudd Blue. (DBL photo bomber in some shots).

You have some perfect birds!! Love em!

Ah. Quite expensive for something that won't reproduce the same! Although Svart Honas aren't that easy to come by either.

I just saw some on rare breed auctions as well.

Eta: just googled it. They invented a new name for a F1 lmbo

nothing super-recent -- there's a resident bobcat near my home, & none of the chickens have been out of their pens for over a month -- but getting the tall grass near their pens cut today, so fewer hiding places for the feline!

and here's one from over winter:


i actually have four SB roosters at this point, but Jackson (on the left) is my favorite boy... he's still young but increasingly gorgeous.

Thanks!!! beautiful example of all the variations -- black-blue-splash!
Good luck with the bobcat.

thanks -- the bobcat is just part of life here (plenty of other predators around, too) -- thankfully is a beautiful thing to have come visit occasionally (this picture was taken out my bedroom door, a year ago):


and confirmed that it can NOT get into the chickens' pens -- i've literally seen it hanging by its claws off one of the pen's hardware cloth wire! i think it enjoys watching the birds go ballistic insides -- but all are safe, and i've learned to keep a close eye on them if they are out free-ranging, which now that the grass is cut, they'll be able to do again! perhaps i'll get some updated pictures, too.

Amazing photo -- Beautiful! Around here -- they are seldom seen (except as Taxidermy) -- and thank goodness for HW cloth . -- If the predators would just please LEAVE our CHICKENS alone and go eat natural prey!
