Byrd's Birds

11/07/2025

2025 has been a bit of a doozy. Unfortunately we have lost several birds to predators this year and only have a few olive egger males available at this time.
Luckily, we have managed the coops to eliminate the predator problem so far. As many of you know, it can be very challenging when a mink or ferret has found your flock to deter them. We do still have our Black Copper Marans flock and hope to separate out our Bantam and Large fowl lines this coming spring. Our olive egger project is minimal currently and may fall to the wayside as we make room for alternative adventures in poultry keeping.
Best of luck with your holiday and show seasons!

The graduating cockerel from 2023. He will hang around this year as a back up for our SOP pen.
His tail is a bit long, but everything else about him is fantastic!

So happy with how our egg color is coming along in our SOP pen!
This egg is from our SOP pen amongst a basket of our Orpington eggs.
