Yo everybody! Hello to all the new peeps that I have missed as I've not been here for quite awhile. Tis good to see some of my old friends still posting here. I also see there's no night crew either. Dang. Anyway, just stopped by to say Hi! I was 1,000 posts behind so I just read the past...

Yo ya all!!!!!!!! Hellooooooo to all the new peeps I've missed. I not been on here much lately, kinda got side tracked.

She looks like a very nice RIR. Is she of heritage line?

I have RIR layers and they produced last winter without additional lighting. The production dropped by 50% as expected. Sunlight is needed but not an every day thing. 14 hrs of light is needed to keep production up.

Rain, I need some rain dang it.

Good luck with the doggie of choice.

Hey RobB, congrats on our pending retirement. Heck yeah, I'm up for that. I've been gone a few days and just got back. BTW, I've tried to call you and left a message. Right after you called, but I missed the message you left for a day or so. I hate phone tag!

chickens are con artists. they're worse then puppies for getting their way. of course I would never fall for their tactics and conning ways.

Hen

Well my broody ,Arbuckle, won the fight. I finally gave her 7 eggs to set. Hopefully she'll hatch more then 4 and have a better survival rate then 2 like last time. Dang, I need to get some recent pics of her chicks. They're looking really, really good.

The very best way to show a mean chicken is on a platter, roasted with butter, garlic and herbs, surrounded by potatoes and carrots and gravey on the side. Of course this is just my opinion, others may prefer it fried or stewed.

I did get a JG rooster from CL who is the BlueRoo and chicken in charge and then I got a Black Eng Orpington rooster (Rascal) from Robert Jenkins. The intent is to breed the two to the RIR and see if I can increase the size of the hens (for the table) while maintaining the production. I now have...

As to the discussion of why one breed of chicken is chosen over another (removing show quality as a function). It took me two years to "pull the trigger" as I know (past exp) a hobby grows in cost. So I decided on how many hens, how big the coop (and built it 2X as large as needed, past exp...

I'mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm BACK!!!! Holy Moley Batman, whatta trip! Me and #1 son limited out on the fishing trip. Was a 1st for me being out on the Pacific. 28 miles out, sun finally burned off the haze and it was a beautiful day out of Westport, Wa. Crossing the "bar" was an experience. 14 fishers...

Good morning everyone! Yay, woke up looking down at the grass, whoot! A REALLY BIG WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW PEEPS!!!!! Well, I'm off to Westport for some fishing off a charter boat. Yipppee

Well dang, falling is no fun and a hurting rib cage is just downright bad. Prayers and thoughts of hugs (don't want to hurt the ribs).

My walk-about brooder Arbuckle is now going into mother mode again. Sigh, I guess I'll make up the broody pen again and give her 8 eggs to sit. I don't mind the little extra work it takes, it's the dang waiting!
