I just had to share this picture of one of my "big-blue" roosters. He's resting on a roost in my big barn. Nobody's venturing outside much since we got a foot of snow. The big barn is where I keep the bachelor boys who are destined for the freezer. :-( I hate the thought of having some of these guys processed but I can't feed fifty roosters all winter long!
My cochin hens are laying up a storm! I have fifteen hens and pullets and am getting seven or eight eggs a day. Apparently, they didn't read the part of the poultry manual that says chickens stop laying eggs during the winter months...
Stay warm and enjoy the Holiday Season!
He's a beautiful young fella. And having a wonderful life right up to the end. You are my kind of farmer.
ReplyDeleteThey look like they are toasty warm!
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you are getting so many eggs. Congratulations! :)
ReplyDeletei dont blame them a bit for huddfling in their roosts! I wish I could get away with doing that all day... and im in Georgia! :)
