Starting over with a new flock this year!
Four Brown Leghorn pullets and 4 straight-run Silver Laced Wyandotte.

Too cold to incubate!!! Can't understand why Rural King started selling chicks the last week it plunged below zero!! Oh, well, maybe they will be clearancing them and I'll get a few meals out of it. (Yes, I AM a chicken butcherer---MWHA, HA, HA!!)
I have 25 birds right now. They are all EE, bc we got zip, zero nada hatchings in 2013. DH blames it on keeping only one rooster, so I'll be keeping 4 this year. I have raised my roosters together so nobody is gonna be fighting to the death, just jostling for position, so to speak.
24 birds are EE, one 2yo hen is RIRxWelsummer/EE and was part of a clutch from a broody hen. She is orange.
6 are young roosters, and the rest are hens. 4 of the 24 were hatched June 1, 2013. The rest were hatched September 2, 2014. I have 5 older layers and 4 younger ones just started to lay. I expect that I'll have more soon, but I really think that the extreme cold weather has discouraged laying.
Won't be even THINKING about incubating until at least May.
