Sweet haul, Mr. Segler!

I need to check for fiddleheads around here sometime soon.... Bit early, but hope springs eternal....

None here yet, but should be soon.... Fake stuff is (look a likes) are up.

Its a good thing the other mom kept the babies warm for her while she was gone lol!

I cant wait to see how your Barred Rock crosses turn out! I bet theyll be stunning!

I have a few Bantam Blue Cochin hens that I may toss with a Buff cockerel if I keep a buff pair. I may just keep the pullets and get rid of all the cockerels. I want to start getting away from hatching mutts and just hatch pure breeds. But we will see. I have all summer to think about it!

There are Standard Buff Cochins. I can get you contact info for some people if you ever want some. Otherwise I think Cackle or Murray McMurray might have them.

The info would be great, THANKS!! I would really like to find someone I could get eggs from next spring so I can slip them under one of my broodies

Yes there are standard buffs McMurray has them, that's were i got my my buff chick.
I may sell 3 of my Cochin chicks all splashes and blues. I just have to wait a bit and see how they mature. I may be coming to Hutchinson so if you came there and still were looking for some. Or I might just hatch some out for selling later this month

I don't have the set up to introduce new chicks to the flock just yet but maybe next year when I add the addition on because then I will have a separate brooding area and another screened in area for a hospital/new bird intro set up.

OH GAWD....I'm hooked! I want MORE chickens!!!! All different colors!

Hey - that is fishing opener and the DH will be up with the DS in a boat so I could experience one of these events. Hm m m m . . . .

the more the merrier for the Shepherds Harvest festival if you would like to meet us there

My off grid homesteader friend is coming along for the ride with me.

If you don't have 'em, I definitely don't...

What am I? Eggs came from someone who has many breeds, including polish chickens, but I'm not sure if they eggs were a barnyard mix or not. Most were. Polish was my best guess.

She sure is purdy

Ralphie while I was on my walk tonight it started raining so I turned around. Will have to get pics tomorrow :/

Well I have another broody today. My last of the bantam cochins decided to join her sister and go broody. Guess I will have baby Guineas in about 25 days...

How do you know the real fiddleheads from the fakes?

 

[Cebarmlds]

Her sister is a great Mom. This one is just nuts.


Ed, Her Dad comes from EJB, so I am assuming she picked up EJB's chick cuddling tendencies.

Please return defective birds to EJB.

She may not have had enough cuddling in her formative months, Ralphie you need to cuddle the pullets more.
The one that wears the bracelet is kind of nuts, just mildly.

How many are you hatching out?

I did a walk about here tonight. I think it's still early here. Idk. Saw a fiddle head. I didn't pick as it was an 'only' plus I didn't know if it was a 'quick step' or an ostrich fern. Jerry are they bitter at all or sweet like a pea or bean or like spinach?
