Lovin' The Homestead
My mom has some Aussies. She got them from that lady in VA and like I said I have no idea what hatchery they came from, but they aren't as good layers as we expected. They are very pretty though,.(.she has 3 hens,..I named them see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil ) and they "talk" all the time. I kept them here at my house for about a month,..I let her have them back,..they were freeloading.BarredBuff said:No snow here but they are saying snow squalls are supposed to start coming in tommorow night. I may have to do some Partridge Rocks from McMurray. And some Aussies.Up-the-Creek said:I have Partridge Rocks from Murray McMurray, they were very good layers and the hens did go broody,..but the roosters were MEAN. Today I ordered Delawares and Rhode Island Reds from Meyers,..they will be here in Feb. I have been told they have nice chicks. I guess we will see. I also have some BO and EE's I purchased from a gal who lives in VA who buys chicks in bulk from some hatchery,..have no idea which one,..but the BO are great layers and they also went broody. The EE's are egg laying machines too. My mother has ordered from Murray McMurray for years and has always had good luck with them,..but she was just happy they were alive!
By the way BarredBuff, is it still snowing over there??? It is here,..we have just over and inch or so. Man it is COLD!
