Hi Folks, The past three times that I've eaten fried eggs. I can taste fish. I feel like gagging. I fry them in bacon grease only. Has this ever happen to anyone else? Lonnie
RIR roosters have a reputation for being the meanest. But are New Hampshire roos any nicer? I looking for a good breeder roo for my hens. But I dont want an abusive roo. Any thoughts? Thank you, Lonnie
I have eight RIR chickens. They are all siblings hatched out fifteen weeks ago. Two of them are roosters. I dont want them inbreeding. So Im considering killing the two roos. I cant find anyone to take them. I also dont want to eat them or give them to someone who wont properly care for them...
Has anyone noticed a difference between hatchery RIR and Production Reds? I have purchased both over the years. And both breeds grow out to be the same bird. Any thoughts? Thank you, Lonnie
Three months ago a weasel attack eliminated all of my RIR layers. In haste I got a dozen fertile eggs from my neighbors. Their rooster is Buff Orpington. And their hens are White Rocks and Black Astralorpes. What a cross! Im assuming they will make good layers. What do you think?
I think the worst predators are the ones we seldom see. Such as the black tail weasel in Illinois. They are nocturnal, small, intelligent, lightening fast, and deadly. They can squeeze through an inch and half hole.
Hi Chic,
If you will give me your email address I will attach them to an email. I can't see an option to send photos on this website.
Thank you,
Lonnie

Thank you,

Hi Folks,
I have three 12 week old Cuckoo Marans chicks. One Cockeral and two pullets. I don't want to dress them out because I have put so much work into them. I just have too many chickens. These Marans were hatched from the darkest Cuckoo Marans eggs that I have ever seen.
They are...

I am about 1/2 mile from the Paso Fino Farm. I do not know the owners of Paso Fino personally, but I would appreciate it, if you would contact them for me.
I got these eggs on eBay from a lady who lives in Carthage, Illinois. They will make some excellent barnyard chicks.
Thank...
