I've posted these 16 ladies on my personal page but nobody have shown interest in them yet, so I'll post here as a last resort. I also added on the boys available too. If they do not go to new homes then I guess I'll keep them all through the winter and figure out how to accommodate everyone. Then they'd be available again in spring.

Finally confirmed two of the backcross olive eggers pullets who are laying brown eggs! The bottom middle two eggs are theirs. At least four more pullets are laying that I have not identified/confirmed yet. A few olive egger pullets still have not started laying yet so I'm hoping for at least one or two more to lay olives, but I'm not sure how likely that is. 🙃🤞🏻

These brown laying BCOE's will have to move out before springtime and probably go live with my heterozygous Olive Egger and BCM roosters. They would have chances of producing potential olive eggers with the heterozygous Olive Egger but it's a 50/50 chance depending on which genes the rooster throws.

New layer!!! No clue who laid it yet... 😍

Sent off some samples for the blue egg gene test on a few of my males and this Fibro Egger cockerel's sample came back homozygous for the blue egg gene! 💙💙 He is (and has been) #1 contender for the role of the breeding rooster for 2027 Fibro Egger program to replace the current Rooster. I'm excited to see what next year has in store. 🤩😁

I have this young Black Copper Marans cockerel available to a new home near Zeeland MI. His inner toes are slightly bent so he is not suited to be a potential breeding rooster here.

💲1️⃣0️⃣ takes him home! 🤎

Olive Eggers are laying very well right now, the hens and pullets alike. I have confidently identified the first two olive laying pullets... now to figure out who's laying the brown eggs!! 😎🫒🤎

We'll be there! We are bringing guinea fowl, pigeons, some ducks and a bunch of young roosters. Who else is going?!!

Just 1 week left to the Montrose swap meet! Let us know in the comments what you'll have at your table!

Our barn cat Ash was found not alive by my mom inside of the barn the other night. Not sure what led to her passing but ten years was not enough with this super sweet girl. She's joining her mama Kyla in heaven who had to be put down six years ago due to illness. 😔 Ash's mama is the orange/white cat. The other cat in the photo is Ash's sister, Pepper, who is still alive and well. I don't think it's quite hit me yet that she's gone. I'm expecting to see her in her usual spots by the hay/straw. 💔

We said goodbye to the horses last night as they left to go to a new home together. I'll miss them very much!! 🥺🥺

Get chickens they said. It'll be fun they said. Yeahhhhh. While trying to take pictures of this young rooster, he made it clear he did not like being handled by freaking out. 🙃 if you need a rooster for your hens, and you don't care about a friendly lovey lovey boy, he'd be a great fit! He's already figured out the mating part so he's all grown up now I guess lol.
