That works for me- I'd really like a couple of blue girls with an eye to eventually selecting for blue spangled (long sort of goofy discussion about that on an old thread in the Breeds & Showing thread), but I've decided I want to have blue egg layers penned with the Hamburgs so that I don't have any confusion about which eggs to incubate and which to sell. The EEs are going in with the second splash BLRW when they're old enough, also for eggs to sell. Assuming there's ANY pullets, which I doubt some days.

remember, Julia, you may inherit my flock, at least for a couple of months, February thru April ... this presuming the grandchick EEs don't quite pan out for you

will bring a coop, or bring materials and build on site ...

so far no one has expressed any interest at all in my lot, and I just don't feel I can trust DS to care for them for 2 months while we are gone

Sounds like a deal- I'll keep them if you can get DS or someone to do some damage to the plum thicket so we have a flat place to put them!

But you have no chicken coops.

This is changing rapidly.

So are the Seramas kept separately from your other birds...? Are they inside all the time?

Mine WERE inside, but the boys drove DH insane! They are now in their rabbit cages inside what used to be my "duck coop", which is wrapped in tarps for insulation / weather protection, and they have a heat lamp on them, it's downright tropical in there!

DS can't -- he has definite geographic restrictions (still it's better than being in jail ! ) -- but DH and I may be able to

I can work for only short periods of time, then I have to sit or lie down, but DH can do a lot, as long as his leg or shoulder don't start twinge-ing on him, and as long as what he's working on, isn't thorny
