Caught my free ranging pullet . So I now have 9 of these rose combed Legbar project pullets . Oldest ones from a May hatch are laying . Younger ones from July have a way to go . So just for fun I have a golden duckwing EE cockerel plus a splash light brown cockerel in there . Cushion comb EE .

You up for smuggling eggs over the border in summer?

Some people smuggle drugs and then there is chicken people... Smuggling eggs across the border...

Jerry, I moved my cockerels out of my grow out/ cull pen today. I have them in the pen that I have predator problems in...(No idea how they get in it)... I have had 2 birds in it safely for a month though. I am starting to think owls get the stupid ones that sit too high up through the netting and eat right through the netting. The drop the remains when they are full. The netting compresses when it is hit from the outside. I think that is what kills them in there now.. Time to hang piano wire.


Anyway. back to the cockerels.. I have a cushion combed. barred tufted muffed Cockerel EE. He has the dark legs..... He must have been a real mutt egg I hatched.

I am tempted to keep him. BUT I think he will end up as dinner for someone instead. He does have slight bleed through but not Much. I thought he was just an ugly DOM until early this summer when Holm pointed out his muff... I have kept hm to see how he would grow out....

Morning . Rainy day here and falling temps all day . Could turn to snow . Yuck . Tough day for those in a deer stand . Saving eggs from the EE pen for hatching . Bad idea this time of year .
