Sad to say it is time for our chicken adventure to come to an end. Age, health and time constraints have gotten in the way so we are forced to sell our entire flock and setup. 4 x 6 coop, fence, food, hay and hay box, along with a very mixed flock of pets. 15 girls include black copper...
8 yr old graqnddaughters silkie died yesterday and she is heartbroken. Looking for either a couple of fertile eggs immediately as I have a broodie or a 6+ week old pullet to replace her. I am still looking for same age cochin pullet.
We've been lucky here, mostly drizzly rain and only an inch so far. Did put my 4 outside girls in the greenhouse as they aren't smart enough to get out of the rain. At least they will stay dry, maybe add some fertilizer to greenhouse floor.
