Those Blue Copper Marans are cool looking!

I've been on the lookout for more ply. barred rock pullets to start replacing the 2.5yr old OGs. Have 4 BR left, 5 RIR, but they've slowed down enough we're out eating them. Had to buy eggs on this last grocery run, not cool.
 
We are up to 18 chickens including the 2 roosters but getting 9 or so eggs a day..... not sure where the other mini velociraptors are laying them at

Score! Local young girl raised extra 45 golden buffs and 45 barred rocks this summer, selling for $20/ea. at 5-5.5 months old. Ended up getting 9 so that makes an even 18 flock now. The OGs will be 3yrs old in spring '26, time to start taking out 6 for the freezer each year and replacing with 6 new layers. Time for some leg bands, they all look the same.

Appliances are made to last 5-8 years says the local appliance repairman.
We just got a new gas stove/double oven for the house. Old one lasted 26 years. Repairman said new appliances now are designed to last 5-6 years. Our washer/dryer and fridge are also 26 years old and as long as we can get parts, we’ll continue to fix them when they break down.
