Deeply Rooted
So I went on Craigslist to get rid of a couple roosters. Now I have found myself inquiring to a few people about Black Copper Marans, Splash Orpingtons, and Wheaten Marans. So far I am for sure getting 3 BCMs. If all else goes well I will be adding 3 SO and 3 WMs. I can sense my feed bill rising once again...
So as of right now for hens I have- 2 Buff Orpingtons, 3 Columbian Wyandottes, 3 Blue Andalusians, 3 Welsummers, 5 Easter Eggers, 1 Cuckoo Maran, 1 Gold Star, and 1 Rhode Island Red. I also have a Cuckoo Maran rooster named Cogburn, (if he has 9 new additions he will have his hands full!) It's hard to not add more to the flock when so many people around here want eggs! The "backyard chicken revolution" hasn't quite hit MN yet. Oh, and the fact that my dad came over and said "happy summer!" and added three times as much square footage to the run than what the girls had before. I think he wishes he had the chickens and not me...and he has plans in the works to make an addition onto the coop. I guess our deal was that if he built the coop he got to do whatever he wanted (I think he's taking advantage of that deal). Anyways, I'll keep you all informed of my growing flock
