Well i posted here a few weeks back that we went to our first show and my son won grand champion with his little white laced red cornish hen. I have been on a mission trying to find a roo so i can make more. Obviously you want the best you can get so as to improve and get better show birds etc...

Hi all!
This weekend we held a pet appreciation day at our local TSC and took donations for our 4-h club which my kids are a part of. We took out Big Bert our African gander cause he loves to hang out with his people naturally and is very polite about it so i took him out there so that people...
Ok my kids joined 4-h this year for the first time and i got into chickens this year as well. My kids would like to show some of my chickens but these are hatchery stock so i am pretty sure they won't do great for them but i have ordered show chicks for spring and next year should be better i...

Ok this spring i puchased a LG incubator and i had horrible experience in hatching eggs. My first batch was marans and ameraucana's none hatched i drowned them. Second batch was silkies and only 2 hatched of those so i put away the bator and decided to wait till next spring and use my own eggs...
Ok so i purchased a Black Ameraucana roo along with 2 BCM pullets from a breeder. I have purchased from her in the past without any issues but this time i think i was not so lucky. The roo is coughing and shakes his head etc... I have been using the RX remedy that TSC sales for respiratory...

Her name is Sophie and i will be training her to take care and round up the flock in the evenings. My flock is pretty big and it's a chore rounding them up at night although i have them coming in pretty good. I just think the dog would be a great assistant.
