Hi, I'm just east side of Indy, The father of 5 lovely children and one on the way. I became interested in Poultry at a young age as I spent the summers on the Farm of the late poultry breeder and judge Dale English in Vigo Co. I enjoyed watching the judging and spending time with Dale more than the prospects of showing, not to mention due to being related to him it was advised that I did not show due to conflict of interest, so i never ventured down that path but may do so in the future.
My current project is geared towards improving my Speckled Sussex flock. (We seek to always improve noting that the standard is towards perfection which is NEVER reached.) When selecting a pair for propagation and the choice is hard to make between a couple of birds I go for temperament provided both birds are proper for standard. After tasting my first Sussex bird years ago I became hooked on the breed. Ya' get good layers with Superb meat at the end and they are sweet as can be and lovely to behold. What else could you ask for?
I hope to bring in Brown Sussex from Greenfire as soon as Paul has them available. He told me they are expected to be ready for sale sometime between 2011 and 2012. I am betting on 2012 and
untill then
.
We just loaned out the 'bator to a friend who hatched 6 of our next gen birds. It was his first hatch and he is very pleased. His brother is now in possession of the 'bator and more of our eggs and should have more of the same gen and parents in a week or so. I'll try to get some pics.
