Hi pep's, Just wanted to pop in and say HI. hope every had a great New Years day and hope the year to come is kind to all...
I have alot to catch up on here, with the barn accident and then coming down sick on top of it all I've just not got the chance to get on.
I'm beginning to see that in my BCM's as well, I think they will be put up for rehoming soon. And I just got a OE roo to try and get me some OE hens with the BCM's. Well have to see if I can use a different breed to get them.
Yep its cold and gets dark sooner and stays dark longer. My girls just got a new house and 2 days ago I got 3 eggs from them and yesterday I got 6. All I can think is it is warmer in the new coop ( I was really surprised by that cause its a metal shed ) but I don't look to get that everyday. I...
Finished the shed coop. Yea!!!
Got the kids moved in and they seem to be happy. I Took the BCM, FM, Splash Maran, Cochin and the SF's out of the layer flock and put them in here with the EE's and AM's, Going for OE's and feather legged EE's with the mix of hens... heres hoping .
1 1/2 "...
Don't for get the Pink egg layers...
You wouldn't believe the customers that wont take my green or blue eggs for that reason. I have had a couple of them for a few years now and they still aren't convinced.
Ok, NO more talk about garages... lol
Yeppers, the December babies are goats. I prefer Feb - March babies but our billy got in with the does and decided different!! The butt head!!!
Hope your not in too much pain. Did they give ya any pain killers?
Very pretty birds!! AM's lay Blue eggs so if...
Sly- you were lucky to be able to watch a video. Wish we could have, this thing is driving both of us to cuss... will be sooo very glad when it is finished!!!! We worked on it Sunday from 9 am till 1 am, used 3 big work lights after it got dark, I know the neighbors must have thought us nuts...
I was only telling what I do and do not do and why, I didn't mean to imply in anyway that you did. and so what if you did that would be up to you. you know your own dog well enough to determine if you could leave yours alone with them or not. Was only stating that I can not.
I think she is...
It's just the instructions are had to follow, they use more pic's than anything else and the drawings aren't the best.... I have figured out to just sit and wait to let DH figure it out on his own, it's just easier that way.... lol
Our rain starts Wednesday not looking forward to it at all. I...
So been supper busy here this weekend, and tomorrow I have people coming to clean out all the kids JUNK out of the garage, a truck load of round bales, and the foot guy for the horses... lol all coming at the same time... Man I hope some one is running late and someone early... But!!! it will...
We got an 6 x 4 shed ( were supposed to anyway ) off e-bay for a very good price. and when the delivery came in it was not what the seller had pictured, not even close!! So it is on it's way back with a full refund including return shipping.
So DH went to Menards and got a 10 x 8 shed (...
I forget the timing of egg laying but it is never the same time, I am up and down all hours of the night so sometimes I will go collect at midnight.. lol I have had hens roosting in the middle of the night and lay an egg right there on the perch and of course the egg lands on the floor, I use...
How do they lay for ya? I had 4 SL and the only thing I liked was they were pretty to look at, egg laying sucked and 2 of them were mean as snakes.
This is an EE Roo Bantam I used to have, if this helps ya any.
o yes my birds all get table scraps and I don't give them any chicken either, I think that is just not right... lol In the cold mths they get oatmeal ( warm of course ) and grits and other such warm food in the mornings to get them hoping and awake... and they love it, course the pocket book...
It sure does, I feel like it is the seed mix along with good layer, and they really go nuts for the stuff, only thing is, since I started feed the extra seed they don't eat much of the corn. I would rather they eat more of that too as it is coming winter. But I guess their bodies know what they...
