We had the two Cornish & supposedly 2 Red Broilers. We processed the Cornish and Gave away the Red Roo.

We have 3 more red birds but no idea id they are broilers or Production reds.

I guess we'll see who lays the most eggs and the loser goes to freezer camp.

I still want those Appenzeller Spitzhaubens!

Going off your recent picture Mikey, I'd say all three are the production reds. Lay away!

Sorry to hear about your roo Mahonri, was it one of your Ameracauna's?

That's exactly what I wanted to hear! Thanks Kev!

(even though one is kinda runt-ish...)

It was my Splash Wheaten Am roo. And he was BEAUTIFUL. Rare blue legs on a splash, gorgeous lacing... perfect for breeding with wheatens to make blue wheatens.

So, I'm without a roo for a while because Junior, that I got from Turkeybreeder (who hatched him from my eggs) was just simply TOO LOUD and he's on his way to Heber to take Geoffrey's place.

Good morning fellow weird chicken people!

Happy Monday to you all!

On Saturday, I found a stealth nest with 14 chicken eggs under an old patio chair on the front porch. I put them under a broody turkey hen, and she took to them right away. I'm pretty sure they're not 100% fertile, as the chickens have just started mating again after their winter molting break, but it will be hilarious to watch a mama turkey with baby chickens. Especially as she's a Midget White, and the chicks will be Black Australorps.

The ducks and turkeys are mating also. It seems much earlier than last year - I wonder if it's because of the warmer weather we've been having?

Have a great week, y'all!!!

Dar- I am so sorry about Fred. I really was hoping everything would turn out perfect for you. You REALLY need a good Chicken year after all you went through last year. If you are interested in Wheaten Marans Cockerels, I have 4 that are about 8 weeks old. You can have your pick. If you want a trio, I can give you a couple of pullets to go with him. Will post pics if you are interested. In my bachelor pen there is a black rock and a couple of EE's. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Wednesday BobsHenhouse is passing the seed box to me. I will be in West side with it on Thursday and would like to pass it along then. Please send me a PM if you are in the Phoenix area...or wittman, wickenburg ect. I will be happy to drop it by.
