Hi what a lovely layer!! she's beautiful! why don't you breed her to your Red Ranger and then take the best sons and breed them back to her. oh she's beautiful. So thinking it was such a large operation perhaps what you have is a nice pullet from a coveted commercial line. Best success, Karen

Boy was that pullet upset when we pulled her off that nest! Whew she scolded us! She was sitting on at least 10 eggs. Silly Sussex! I was glad to see her immediately start to eat. Hopefully she will get past this broody thing quickly. Best, Karen

Well I have two laying pullets. at least I did have two laying pullets .one of the silly girls has decided to go broody in the middle of the winter .oh for goodness sake! so now I have to break this birdie. she's just tight on those eggs, silly girl ! it's too early in the winter to hatch...

Vigor. yeah, that's what's missing, vigor. I get up. I go to work. I come home and I'm just worn out . used to be we would do things in the evening but now I'm just worn out and I just want to rest . I have the two Sussex pullets here , just started laying 3 weeks ago. this winter I'll pick up a...

Hi , I am desolate tonight. I had to write Turk and tell him I can't take the chanteclers and the rabbits . I'm heartbroken. I just haven't been the same since I fell in February . my back is healed but pretty much ,but when I come home from the end of the day from work, I'm just tired and I...

That is so cool you had a roll cloud come through. they are so very rare.what a privilege you got to see it. we had one come through San Diego one time when I was visiting my mom. unfortunately it was gone by the time I got there that day and I only got to see it on the TV news. it's really a...

Well I'm going to stay out of this discussion cuz everybody here knows my opinion of fermented feed. so I just feed my birds nice fresh dry feed and Nutri drench in their Water. And everybody's here is happy. Karen

Well I think he he did his best. but he's really a Penciled Rock breeder and older person. next year will be better. I am just so disappointed I didn't get that male I was looking for Karen

Cool, thanks guys .some warm words help .well I was trying to resurrect the gene pool I created several years ago and placed with this farmer 2 years ago when the pine tree fell in the grow out pen. I was trying to bring it back because of the guy who entrusted me with it in the first place. I...

Rant alert: Well the hatching and grow out season is finally over. watta disaster I ended up with two pullets today I am pretty sure are pure light Sussex. everybody else was sold today five pullets 3 cockerels for 24.00 I bought $150 incubator. Built two new grow pens, put in a new watering...

Got a response to my Craigslist ad. somebody in the next town over wants all the crossbreds including the roosters so I'm happy camper. I was going to kill the roosters tonight but now they're going to a New Home. Instead they'll probably get eaten there, but oh well that's the life of a rooster...

Well all the cockerels are going to chicken heaven today. I cannot sell the pullets with them so I'm going to eliminate them from the sales ad permanently . it's been a very disappointing year here. oh well, onward and upward. Karen

Keep any corn out of their diet during laying season . corn , that'll put the fat on the real quick Karen

I wish you were too Laura. that would solve both of our problems wouldn't it? Karen

Accidentally bred for great egg production.. Well at this point I'm getting disgusted. I went out to check on the birds yesterday and the big Cockrell that I thought was a light Sussex has the beautiful flopped over Leghorn comb. he's going to be huge I've never seen such big legs on a...

Okay you guys are really rocking tonight! Karen

Maybe I'll change my ad and start out with, " it's too late in the year to raise chicks!". They won't be good winter layers! I have your solution......

That's hysterical!!

I am getting frustrated. I can't seem to find a buyer for these birds .I spent so much time raising them. I don't understand why people still want chicks this late in the year. it's too late to raise chicks in any place where there's going to be snow and they're not going to be good winter...

Well, as you know it was a mostly unsuccessful hatching year here. Had to guess and choose eggs from mixed flock, hoping for purebred Light Sussex (LS). Got a lot of Crossbreds , plus imperfectly marked LS and 4 very nice pure Light Sussex. So this afternoon I go out to check their water and 13...
