Yes! I still have chickens...

I know that I've been terrible about keeping this blog up to date!   I'll work on fixing that. 
I promise!

How the heck can they stand like that???

He really does have two legs...

The BLRW are the only chickens venturing outside so far.  The temps are supposed to get into the fifties today so, hopefully, the rest of the snow will melt (we won't even talk about all the MUD that means!) and the Cochins get out into the sunshine as well.

The little guys that were brooding in my living room have made their way out into the garage.  Wouldn't you just know that they both turned out to be boys?   They're so cute!  When ever I go out to the garage, they come running up to me, chirpping away.  They may just move outside this week.  I'll miss them greeting me every morning when I let the dogs out.

I've got the incubator fired up and am going to set some eggs today!

All of my Cochin hens (except one) are setting on eggs now but the BLRW are laying like crazy.  I may even hatch a couple of the Buff Orpington/BLRW cross eggs.  I can tell which ones they are because they're much darker than the pure Wyandotte eggs.  It will be interesting to see what that cross looks like.  I have to admit, my Buff Orps are my best layers!  Although, now that they're finally figured it out, the BLRW are doing a good job as well.  I only have seven females left  ~ some guy from Iowa(?) keeps buying all my best birds!

;-)

So, I'm going to hatch out a bunch more...
