So I put in my Spring order with McMurry. I breed my own EOs but wanted a bit of color to the egg layer pens so Ordered the Whiting true blues they just made available and some Cuckoo Marans. Kinda excited to see how the whitings do as layers. Anyone else have experience with those birds?

Last set of eggs in the incubator for the year. Anyone else getting ready to hatch a few more before the cold sets in?

Hey guys, it has been a busy Summer and I haven't been on here much. this spring i got a little crazy and ordered a few extra chicks. You all know how that goes. LOL Anyway here are some polish about 6 months old that I have from McMurray Hatchery. I am more than pleasantly surprised at the...

On my way up to Indy in the morning to drop off chickens!

Wow, you guys have been hopping on here. Great looking chickens and fun stories as always. Getting ready to expand and improve our coops and runs at home soon. Will be posting pictures as we progress. The poor chickens are a bit crowded right now and have taken over my goat stalls.

Looking really good!

Mary Poppins is a great name for an ORP! Don't worry M2H they will settle in, it will just take a while.
