The Front Porch Swing

So I'm thinking a 4foot wideX4foot longX2.5 foot tall grow out pen for the 3 bantam orps and the 5 chocolate bantam wyandottes. So that's 16 square feet for 8 birds that are 8-10 weeks old. Should give them plenty of room to finish growing in I would think. Opinions?

I got another pair of Black Mottled and a pair of Chocolate Mottled OEGB, and a couple Black Sumatra pullets for my Blue roo. Some Ameraucana chicks, there were 10 of them, but I am going to pick through and just keep the solid blue and black ones, to go with the ones that hatched from Mr.Heinz, the rest will go back to auction. Nothing special unless the kid wants to get into the game bantams or long tails. I sold some of my Rhodebars, but kept a trio extra for the kid.

Maybe Crystal can bring them up as she goes. KYTin....thought I would let you know that 12 of the 15 you sent made it to lockdown. That's is awesome on shipped eggs! I am so gonna stock up on plastic eggs next year! Just hope I have a good hatch.

It's still up in the air right now as to Crystal going. Her hubby will take their son up and then depending on how things work out she may or may not come up. I need to figure out who I still know in the area over there for them to take the birds. She certainly can't keep them in the hotel. I better heck with my family to see who is over that way. Alex isn't into game birds YET! This little guy is his new playmate.

Only thing I know for sure is he's a bantam. Got any clue? Alex swears he came from PapaBrooder so I PMed him.

Well Alex thinks he's a cutie. Sure hope he can find some girlies to go with him.

Now that's just plain naughty showing him pics! . He wants number 2,3, and 4 and maybe one too! That's literally what he said. Girl can't go out and do chores without that boy! He better get the rest of his houses together before he makes too many more plans though. Mommas not in the best of shape to do it herself.
