Bama what quantity are we talking of losses? Would your insurance cover it? We're getting this (which is far better than Biblical rain):
* TIMING... SNOW BEGINS AROUND DAYBREAK TUESDAY AND CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. SNOW COULD BE HEAVY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN MAY MIX IN... ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF SKOWHEGAN.
* ACCUMULATIONS... SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 6 TO 12 INCHES... ALONG WITH AROUND A TRACE OF ICE.
I'm ready. I think.

I didnt insure the coops. They are mostly hardare cloth and 2x4s. The birds I lost costed way more than the coops I

But when you insure out buildings you don't have to prove where you spent the money so You could restock and do your hardware with pallet coops.

 

[bamadude]

Does your insurance maybe say *out building* ?

Has the water gone down any so you can look for things or will it all be covered by mud?

I scheduled an adjuster to come out. I wont get my hopes up.
The water is still high. It is clear water. Not too muddy

 

[tjo804]

I hope it will not turn out as bad as it sounds
I will pray for a light at the end of this tunnel for you

And that the light isn't a train.

You want some mutt eggs? Very cold hardy... not sure about their ability to swim.

That is exactly what I was thinking.


@bamadude tell us what breeds you had, or what breeds you would like.... And tell us when you want eggs shipped to you.

My birds haven't been separated long enough yet to be pure bred... Give them another two weeks.... But then I will have a black Ameraucana (excellent quality) over two Ameraucana pullets and a bunch of different kinds of leghorns. (Several Rose comb dark brown, three high production single comb white, a single comb black... ) not sure about fertility on is pen... Young cockerel and lots of ladies.

I also have Dominiques, pure, but not super fancy, but a proven rooster over only four hens, so great fertility.

I have a pair of spitzhauben with almost no crest at all (seriously bad, like close to zero up there) , but they are very good body type and crest. Bad color, supposed to be black....

My bantams are nice, I have a wheaten Ameraucana over three wheaten hens and 4 mille fleur d'uccles, and a couple d'anvers.

I also have a some d'anvers, pure d'anvers but mixed colors.
