I like not being in charge.

Lol, That's what makes broody hens so great! They even handle the integration for you if you want them to.

Yes we shall see, im so pumped for your hatch, you seem like a great "hatcher!"

Thanks! I'm excited about it and I'll definitely be posting updates!

I love him. And her. I’m just getting into @Compost King’s meat thread and I’m so glad you’re still around... I’ve got questions for you I’m going to post there. I’ve got some specialty broilers from Moyers I held back and a Delaware Cockerel that’s growing out I’m hoping to cross.

I never wander far and as most of my customers at work know I Love to talk chicken.... you are always welcome to send me a message if you like. Most of my knowledge has come from trial and error and reading folks here on BYC

Its funny you mentioned that, im setting up my killing cone this weekend in the shed, ive finally navigated the moral dilemma in my head regarding maintaining and culling my flock, it seems a bit hypocritical to buy a dressed bird from the supermarket but not take advantage of the excess roos i have which are essentially free meals.......
On that note ive just ordered some black jersey giant eggs which im going to cross with my brahmas. I havent even told the wife yet.............

We like to eat the extera roosters, it's nice to know that we handled them humanely and what they were fed. My family needs to eat and No One will thank me for having 40 roosters.
