    Looks like the goat curse struck again for the Cubbies

    Worked at the old Busch Stadium from 81 to 85. Got to see 2 World Series while getting paid double time. Worked cleanup crew and it was in our contract to get double in playoffs and Series games. Even met some players. Some of the old football Cardinal players too. Should have stayed working...

    After they beat the Cardinals I thought for sure they would go on to the World Series

    Thank you again Alex. We are going to cull out all the old birds, they have stopped laying almost completely for quite awhile and they are all healthy

    Any advice on how old chicks should be before turned loose to roam in the chicken pen ? Going to get rid of the older ones first .

    The black Australorp chicks we have are getting big at just a little over 4 weeks old. How old would they need to be put out in the chicken pen would you say? Have them in a smaller area now to keep them warm at night but they are about to out grow it. Live near the northern Kentucky border

    Okay , thanks. We have 20 4 week old australorps chicks. 16 are hens, 4 roosters. We had them several years ago and they got old and had to cull them out. Great egg producers. Had one big rooster with 14 hens, got a dozen eggs many days ,butvhad periods with only a few a day.

    I have a general question. Some of the old timers when I was young always said you need a rooster around to help keep hens laying more consistently, any opinions?
