Surviving Minnesota!

I've always order from Murray McMurray and I've never had any issues

My mom doesn't trust them anymore because her parents bought from them and they had 4 orders in a row die off.

I'm rearranging, and rebuilding the inside of my coop this summer and spring, so far this is what I plan on doing.
**Not to scale
**I'm getting rid of my ducks, so I can have a better setup for my chickens

I hope they called in for a refund.
There at very good reviews for Murray McMurray here. Most of the people that had chicks die say it was either because it was to warm or to cold

Have decided to sell my two Swedish Flower hens. They are almost two years old and still are laying.

BC if u go to the bottom of the page on the mobile version it will say web and mobile. Click on web and it will be just like u were on a computer.

I've done that holm. It's a nightmare to slide things to the side. increase size, decrease size. Next thing you know you're touching off an advertisement...

I appreciate your help though. I've seen it...it's also probably because I'm due for a new phone. I'm sure that's half the problem.

We've had ticks out now for 5/6 weeks, the chickens just can't get them all. It's a heavily infested area.

What I wonder about is, you take a dog to the vet and in 5 minutes they can tell you if they are infected but a person ? they can't tell, they have to send the test out etc.

LOL. I wonder why we don't have a Snap test as well! You wouldn't think it would be that hard to develop one.

Jerry, I am not much for posting pictures, primarily because I don't take the time to create them. The Maiden Rock is a bantam breed which was developed by Dan Powell. His mailing address was Maiden Rock, Wi although he lived on a farm much closer to Plum City. the best source of info related to them is on the internet web site One Earth Farm.com Which is still up though not maintained for some years. If you go to the Chicken section and bantams there is a link for Maiden Rocks. I have a Citron Spangled hen which looks much like the one in photos on that site.
Dan and his partner sold their farm and Dan liquidated his Llama herd and got rid of all of his chickens. The last time I communicated with Dan he had relocated to New Zealand.
When Dan got out his remaining Maiden Rocks and Silver Spangled McGraws went to Nathans brother Ryan. I refused to take them and Dan seemed convinced that Ryan although young would keep them going. This turned out not to be the case.
The Maiden rocks were beautiful little birds which layed blue eggs. It is unfortunate that they have disappeared as Dan spent quite some time, effort and money to develop them, and he did not share with anyone that I am aware of all the breeds he used in their development. They would be good foo foo birds for Ralphie with the blue eggs, but that is not to be.

Fun to hear the back stories of some of these birds. Amazing.

You still have your pekins though right? I thought you were going to breed your muscovies?
