Still have them. Did not breed them this year. Had some "city trouble" and pretty much lost a whole year. (will be contacting an attorney soon to see about punishing the city for their RIDICULOUS behavior and claims. If my thinking is straight, I'm gonna open a whole can of chicken whup-arse on them soon)
So... only have a small flock, two roos and a half dozen hens. On a different note, I have been getting chocolate tinged birds from that pen. Seriously. Not late moult chocolate faded black either.
Edit to add... only a small flock of Barred Olive Eggers. Still have a MESS O' BIRDS, probably more than I need. Still have the Mille Fleur Cochins, two different lines of Copper Black Marans, as well as a (gasp) potentially a bantam CBM pair, more on them later. And, BLRW in full size and bantam, Dark Brahmas, Lav Orps, English type Black Orps to improve the lav orps. Also have my friend's Jersey Giants, and my EE pen, a few Ameraucanas, Silkies and Showgirls, Mottled Javas and Coronation/Light Sussex pen. And the Bourbon Red and Midget White pens too. Oh, and Cotton Patch Geese. Can you imagine a WHOLE YEAR wasted out of all those birds? City's gonna have to barf up a KIDNEY before I'm going to be satisfied with them.
