If you are within the law and your chickens aren't going on his property. You need to put a stop to his actions now! Tell him nicely you are feeling threatened by his out of control out bursts and if they continue you will be forced to have a restraining order placed on him. If he has half a...

Do you have a lot of predators around or a dog running around your tractor? When these birds get stressed out it affects them dramatically, especially in the later stages of their life.

This is what a Buff Orpington roo crossed with a Barred Rock hen looks like. She was hatched 8/2/2019 by her mother. She is a great egg layer, friendly, smartest hen I have, and best hen I have.

Those are your sex link roosters The hens have yellow heads and dark bodies.

Sounds like you need to move Fort Knox to Texas. My biggest problem is a little fox. I turned on a radio now, haven't had a problem since. Let me know when your ready to sell hatching eggs I would like to start with a quality blood line.

And it begins! How long does your breeding season last? Not an easy breed to find. I'm sure hatching eggs will be coming up for sale soon.

Do you only have 1 genetic line of your Breese? I ask cause from what I've read from farmers trying to work with this breed was they lacked genetic diversity from only 1 genetic line in the USA. Other people suggested crossing them with another breed. I think your flock looks great.

You can buy uncooked partially incubated eggs to cook. A couple of people here have hatched them... like @Kiki Okay, I never heard of that either. I have a lot to learn on different methods people use. Sounds good and you would know if they were viable too.

The more I read about hatching embryos the more I can see it being a better way of getting better hatch rates for Cornish. You would know if the egg was fertile or yolk broken as soon you opened the egg. I would definitely give it a try, would want to get a different incubator like a laboratory...

I dunno but want to try it. My wife is from the Philippines balut is when eggs are steamed at different ages of development. I'm pretty sure he's talking about taking them out of the shell and incubating them.

I've had pretty good luck with hatching shipped eggs, but never tried hatching Cornish eggs as I heard they don't ship well. I think PA could work, in a couple of months. What was you thinking eggs or birds? Thanks.

Ive never heard of hatching embryos before, so I just had to watch a couple videos on the who proceedure and all can say is whooooow! I don't know about shipping embryos though. Why wouldn't just ship the eggs and have your tester just take it out of the shell at their place? Thanks for the...

Thanks Massachusetts
