Sorting Marans breeders today and turned on the lights for the first time (6 AM to 4 PM). Looks like I will have 4 pens of Marans, each with 4 to 7 hens. That sounds like a lot, but for most of the season, Marans chicks will be oversold and I will have a waiting list, especially for breeders looking for certain genetics.

Starting to get more eggs each day. I think I will wait until the 6th to set the first eggs of 2025.

I have two 7 month pullets started to lay at the end of December. It's very strange since it's the shortest day light of the year. I really like to get more Welbars and rose comb Legbars, but my coop is very full and I ordered 3 silkies to replace the two died last year. I guess that I have to wait a couple more years until some chickens passed. I don't think I'm really looking forward for more broodies in winter though, but my son just wants silkies so badly.

Do you allow people to pick up chicks from you, seeing as H5N1 is still out there are PA is, in general, a poultry producing state (and has a lot of waterfowl.) I do not know if my pitiful small number for purchase would make it worth your while or not.

Of course, most of my chicks are picked up by local people, with "local" being relative. I have had people drive from Ohio!
