ouch only 6? we only have 4 acres here but the house we are looking at is on 60. I will be soooo much happier on that much land

Ya, city ordenance says we may have six laying hens, no roos, and that's it. :/ I want to buy some land... move out of our house and own at LEAST 2 acres... we've only got about 1/4 acre now... :/ Hopefully in the next 5 years we'll move and I'll be a happy camper.

Pekins are commonly kept for meat because of the white feathers making a clean pluck. They dont lay as well as the SA do, and the SA give a nice table bird.

I was wondering if other factors played into it, like the feathers. They might bare confinement better than the SA as well (just guessing here).

in light of todays horrific shooting at the Elementary School in CT I want to ask everyone in the hatch a long to stop where you are when you read this and say a prayer for those families who lost their children today

My thoughts and prayers are with the families. So very sad.
