50% only? Thats low hatching rate. I will give another batch of eggs on April.

if 15 hatch then we will have plenty. Ideally I want 8-10 mamas and 2 drakes to provide eggs and replacement birds

We have 30+ muscovy ducklings with more on the way

The workers will be able to eat 2 ducks a week by August

I searched Bresse chickens on Google, very rare breed and the world best chicken when it comes to taste. I am lucky I have part leghorn/ bresse chick.

we have 1 Bresse hen but we didn't have a mate for her so we used a splash english orpington rooster

we ended up with some large mostly white offspring

they were yummy

the one pictured in front is from this cross

the pullets proved to be good layers like their mother

As of the moment I have no Orpington. I want also to see giant chickens strolling in our backyard.

A bank, I think he said Chase?  Corporate.  Before he was with Dell, and later HP.

That's JP Morgan Chase. it's quite close to where i work.

I used to work for Dell but the accoumt was toxic so I looked for a better company. I think Dell have pulled out from our country and transferred to India.
