Surviving Minnesota!

[MNChickMom]

I would love to see Bantam and large fowl buff Orpington and of course buckeyes. Layers you are so kind to do this for us! Hopefully, your trip continues to be uneventful!

How do Bantams do in our mild winter weather? Does it make a difference on mortality?

I have thought they would be fun, but back away because of the cold.

Any certain varieties for the Opringtons. Bantam or LF?

Anything

Ralphie Ukes are Ukrainians. We are meeting up with a bunch of them on the way to TN.

When in Feb is the show? If I am bored I might make the trip down there.

It should be in the low 60's that far south then.

ILL what is a Uke??

I went out and did chores, I think poor Hoover is suffering from Stockholm syndrome He fallows me all around the barn. (Come to think of it so does the Buckeye rooster)....

Makes me wonder about how these birds were raised...Hmmmmmm

I am seriously considering getting rid of a bunch of turkeys. One way or another. They cause me way too much grief. They knock things over, Get into everything, Fight constantly, refuse to shut up. They also follow me everywhere. It is hard to carry feed when stepping over 40 pound birds.

I am thinking of going down to just one breed (or two). I would keep the legbars until we get them APA recognized. Other than that I am think of just raising toads. They are my best layers, lay the biggest eggs and anyone I get tired of can be roasted or fried.

First weekend I think.
