Oh what fun it is to trade and barter chickens! Our latest trade has been for a very gentle giant ~ a Jersey Giant Rooster. He is approx. 6 months old and will still grow some she says. He is black and very nice.
Here he is getting used to his new perching grounds
Debbi ~ Americauna cross that lays green eggs, but here is mothering a brown one
Aren't chickens fun to watch? She didn't want to come out of her nest I guess

The hens sure love to dust bathe... glad we brought in dirt last fall to keep them busy and happy

Poor Mr. Bean will now loose some of his hens to "Louie" as Louie's chicks will have more meat.

Awesome post here, you have beautiful birds, and Rosie is so pretty, love a girl who can find happiness with birds - I need a new batch of turkeys and chicks this springs but can not find a hatchery in BC. Do you know of one? peace
ReplyDeleteI do know of some locals that do it as a business with heritage breeds, etc. Don't know exactly where you are located, so how about we email?
