I bought a pair of narragansetts and 3 hens 1 tom royal palms from a breeder. They are 10 montbs old. They arent laying very good now but they layed pretty good until it got hot.

Has anyone had any experience with the midget Holland's? They're only supposed to get to around 12 pounds

Culling is very necessary in a breeding pen. I cull hard and I feel kinda bad but it helps. I culled every splayed leg, crooked toed ect. chick I got and that seemed like it was every other chick! Now this year I didnt have a single splayed leg or crooked toe. BUT I did still cull chicks for terrible weakness. There will be lots of culling in your first few years but eventually it all pays off...




This probably wasn't necessary....

I'm doing great! Been busy busy busy. Getting the coop cleaned up for inspections and then getting the birds ready for their physicals. Ralph is testing my birds this weekend and I am super excited and nervous. All my birds are healthy so I shouldnt worry but I do.

That's great!! I have got to get tested. Hopefully i can do it in the next couple of months

Hope your physical goes well. Nobody likes getting them, no matter the species.

If they fail the test Mr T would be a lot cheaper for me!!!

yes that's the only down side of breeding, but I want to breed anyways so I guess I will have to learn I just had to put down one of the chickens a few weeks ago due to water in the lungs.
