Legs has a secret admirer. Everyday when our CC Legbars are turned out to get some bugs and greens one of the pullets makes her way to his run and stays with him for quite awhile. She is so small and he is so very large now that's a relationship that's not going to make it.

Who lives where it's freezing half the year?? What is your cold weather care? I plan to have them in smaller pens with thick straw bedding in an old cinder block Gable style barn. So they will have no wind but plenty of ventilation. I'm talking Asil, Malay, ko Shamo and Indio gigante. Thanks

Maine is the same, freezing half the year. Currently just starting to enter spring.

Alittle wind doesn't hurt them, it's moisture that does it. One Malay Cock got frostbitten toes this year, had moisture problems that wouldn't resolve easily.

My Asils, Brazilians, and Cubalayas have adapted to Virginia winters. I wrap plastic around the GA Pluckers pens and all pens when it gets below 10°. Its a combination of wind, cold and dampness that is hard on them. They can usually handle 2 of the 3

Legs has been enjoying the companionship of two of the older hens we have in a spacious coop and run. The downside is now he is full of himself.

One Dozen Indian Malay eggs in the incubator.
There's eggs from other projects as well.

I'm still very much wanting a few Indio Gigante chicks that as adults can roam freely on the farm once there is a full field fence around the property with three hot wires add to that also. One rooster and 5-6 hens would be sufficient. Of course then I'd have to put a light weight fence up to keep them out of the garden areas I know. Those big birds can did like a backhoe. Legs doesn't scratch, he attacks the ground with a vengeance talking trash non stop as he does.
