Sure Signs of Spring!


For the first time in ages, all of my Blue Laced Red Wyandottes have ventured out into the yard!


My gorgeous, Dark blue rooster is showing off for the girls


The hens however, seem much more interested in scratching around




"Levi" (my 'splash' BLR rooster)  seems to be enjoying stretching his legs as well


There's still a lot of snow to melt
(and the cochins have yet to leave their barn!)
but at least (for now) things appear to be moving in the right direction


Think Spring!!!

P.S.  You are cordially invited
It is really my 5 year anniversary with my
We'll be celebrating all weekend with games and prizes!

  5. Thanks Jenna,
    I'm pretty proud of my BLRW. They are finally laying too!

    Our melt didn't last long ~ we got six inches of snow Sunday night into Monday...
    :-(

    There is a lot of interest in the bantam BLRW, Katherine but their conformation isn't as nice. I wanted large fowl because this is my main egg-laying flock and the big eggs sell better.
    Besides ~ they are just SOOOOO gorgeous, strutting around my backyard!
