Ralph: Sounds like you are feeling better -- I certainly hope so! Your rooster stories are too funny. But Ole -- oh my. He's gorgeous. As is your cream legbar. I'm a sucker for Crele coloring. So if you're ever shipping eggs this far... MM: My nine year old also is unrecognizable. I...

Jessica -- Aliens are responsible for these beings in my house? Well, I guess there is proof after all. Huh. Who would have thunk it that parents can verify the existence of extra--terrestrial beings. That's awesome on the chickens coming to your house. I've not read down yet to see if...

Ralph who is Nameless? Chuckle. And it's so true chickens listen better than anyone! Mine are listening to me gritch about the two little leeches (some doctor put them in my arms and told me they were my children eight and nine years ago; surely he was wrong) who live here and occupy space...

Linda -- Totally fertilized? Yay -- but not so much yay on no chickies :( Ralph -- I'm an editor. Reading typo is my job. Heh. A missing 'L' is nothing compared to some of the crazy, unintentional word-swaps I've seen. Get better. I've a nasty respiratory too, and it's not fun at all...

Hey all! How is everyone? Holding up in this crazy weather. I've been soooo busy and don't get to drop in here as often as I'd like. I miss the funny craziness! Laugh. Soo...where is everyone at with their Cornish hold backs? Last I was here, Jessica had her first egg. I finally sucked...

Oh my gosh that souffle looks amazing. What did you put in it? Okay so... two of you've said I could discuss chickies and eggs here, and it's your thoughts I'd like to hear, so I'll have at it. First, I have three other breeding projects if they ever get off the ground where I actually am...

I don't always chime in because I often don't have much to say. Although now I'm feeling like I should go out and inspect everyone for frostbite and lug out Vaseline... though that would mean I have to go to the store because I don't have any Vaseline on hand...which ultimately boils down to...

We have some of that nasty weather moving in. Nowhere near that cold, but close enough for me ;) Good luck. Don't turn into a Popsicle! Though from your last photo, you have some idea how to thaw out. I could subscribe to that sort of hot cocoa!

Jerry was rather unimpressed with being held for a half an hour with cornstarch on his foot too. He tried to escape my hold a good four times, at least three of which involved starting all over again. Oddly enough, I was standing right in front of him when he did it, although I have no idea...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Sorry, I've been absent; holidays got really really in the way. I'm sorry for the losses mentioned, excited Sunny laid her egg, and Ralph, your stories get more and more entertaining. Linda, you're making me want to be on a list for those White Plymouth...

Ralph -- Yes, those were the horror stories I read about. Prior to my ordering chicks, I had to do some research on who processed in my area. I managed to find a neighbor (country miles), who does some for locals. The first thing she said was, "Do you mind if I tell you how to raise these...

Laugh! He is a beauty! How big is he now, Ralph? And if you don't mind a short recap, what problems did you have with your first batch? All things considered, my first batch went pretty well, I think. We had 52 and 8 committed mass fratricide when they managed to go swimming in their...

Linda -- I've lost it in the thread -- you're getting eggs from, and considering crossing White Rock's on Cornish? Just trying to keep up with all the different ideas and discussions :) Ralphie and Jessica, I did not free range the birds. I kept all the chicks on 16% feed from four weeks on...

Thanks for the welcome! Did I follow along correctly -- you're waiting on your CornishX, Sunny, to lay? These three are my holdover CornishXs. We had six, but Lucky had heart issues, Lilly the rooster (believed a hen until weeks before he passed) took a misstep and couldn't walk and the vet...

I laughed so hard at this it earned me "the look" from my children. LOL way too funny! Er: In the process of logging in, it dropped the quote -- that's in response to the email suggesting to give away the wife.
