I'm currently around Rolla.
And yep, my account is older than some I've seen, but it seems as though all of my previous interactions were wiped after all this time.
Randomly had BYC pop into my head the other day, was happily surprised to see the site still here, and turns out my account was...
Hiiiii!! :frow Welcome in!! This is a great place to share all your chicken pics, ask any questions, and just meet new like-minded folks!
Who is the pretty bird in your pic?
Aah that's unfortunate. Tilapia are normally the first choice for a lot of folks, but I have a friend in Alaska where Tilapia are also a no-no, have heard they are banned in Utah and Louisiana too, but had no clue they were also banned in Florida.
Yellow/silver/gold perch, trout, carp...
Aquaculture can be fun once you get the right setup. And tomatoes are my favorite too!! I could live on tomatoes if I could grow enough where I am currently. lol!
I've done aquaculture with tilapia, as well as ornamental aquarium-trade fish like guppies, white clouds, and koi. Haven't been in...
Ooo, Missourians! Hello fellow state-sharers!
I'm currently living under a landlord, looking for my own acreage at the time though. Had to work out a deal with him to get my current chickens. Fresh/Free eggs for him and his wife, in exchange for me keeping birds. Seemed fair. lol.

That's a very good point. I have noticed a couple threads of folks showing off their project birds and announcing their project plans, but have seen their plans be trampled on by others saying things like "there's no way they can get to B from A" and that they should try something else.

I know it's been a while since any posts were made here, but man this thread brought back some memories!!
Back around 2000ish I used to have BCWs from McKinney & Govero. I have no pics of them and can't remember how they ended up looking, but I loved them. I was huge into oddball breeds back...
Red, Nugget, and Purple/Lavender are all the rose combs, yep! The darker colored ones out of the six.
They were all supposedly from Hoovers Hatchery, from what the feed store said. But they were all supposed to be straight run, assorted brown egg layers. They were $3 a piece back on March...
It really can! I won't get into super details, but my whole ordeal included losing a job (outsourcing to Mexico, the entire plant shut down putting hundreds of folks out of a job, unless they wanted to relocate to Mexico), homelessness, and a cancer diagnosis. Fun times!!
Took a while to dig...
Ok, as requested earlier, I tried to get some halfway decent full body pics of the gang.
Five of them have legbands, and they should all be showing in the pics. One of the rose combs has no legband, that one is named Nugget. lol
So, here we go! If you see any potential roosters, lemme know...
I used to be somewhat active here several years ago. But, life happened in many different ways, had to part with my entire flock, etc, etc.
Am just now getting back into a place where I can have chickens again; starting small with some random egg layers, but hoping to get back into...
