Kelly, Here is my secret project pen. I bet you could never figure out what the project is.

Kathy, those girls are from your created Delawares, correct? I don't know what he project is, but with those girls and that roo, they are gonna be pretty!

I thought about that, too. I checked all the feed. It is all fresh. I do wonder if there was some kind of poison they could have got. I did put out mouse-rat poison. But, I threw it UNDER all the coops, where the chickens can not reach.

Sorry about the loss of the Icelandics and Delawares.

Could the Delawares have eaten mice that had eaten the poison? I quit using any poison around the coops when I saw the chickens devour baby mice, they go after the adults too.

Some of them are.

I am soooo stupid! I did not even think of that!

Crele, for the color? But with Wellies and the Dellies. The roo, is he an Orp? Looks huge!


Crele Orps?

Hmmmmmmmm......buff Dels?

Nope.

Nope. The rooster is "George," my F1 man.

You could never guess, I don't think.
It is gonna take me another year or two.

Kathy, Is that George? If so, barred gene male over a vareity of hens that look to have bodies that are of a dual purpose shape......sex-linked colored meat birds?

Yes, that is George.
It should end up being a dual purpose bird, yes. Pretty, too.

More breeds in the next generation.

This is not the easiest creation. No, it is not one I just made up either. But, many have never heard of it before. (I never had - until - until - until I did.)

Kathy, that is terrible. Had they been sleeping in the nest boxes or were they trying to lay at night or early a.m. I would be out of my mind trying to figure it out. As soon as I have Icelandic eggs I'll send you some. My little blue boy is getting his freak on these days now all I need is for the girls to start laying.

Kathy, my Icelandics are all laying well (all from Mary & TheOtherMary), I'd be happy to send you some eggs. I have a pullet from Jim from his Drekki pen, but she's not laying yet.

It depends on the poison you used. Some of them do not cause the rodent carcass to be hazardous. I'd have to look it up, but I think that's true with D-Con. Otherwise there'd be too many family pets and scavengers affected as well.

Kathy didn't I hear you talking about a Welbar at one point? Like a Rhodebar.
