I'm too old for facebook. I can't figure it out. It just looks like a bunch of games to me. I am technologically challenged. My kids made me a facebook page, and they have to help me navigate.
I can't text, either. However, I am proud to say I have now learned how to retreive phone messages from my cell phone, after 9 years.
I think I saw his email addy on here............just don't stalk him mkay?
I've been following this thread for a while now and have learned quite a lot. I can't have any roosters where I live so I can't breed. I did decide to buy a few heritage breed chickens and an Ameraucana when I got into the backyard chicken business back in May. I bought them from a small poultry farm in middle TN called Poultry Hollow. This being my first time raising chickens I really didn't know what to look for when purchasing other than good conditions and healthy animals. Thought I would share a couple photos of my gals, well I think the Light Brahma may be a rooster. Don't know whether they're "high quality" chickens or not but my 2 year old son loves them. I figured if I can't breed I can at least purchase a few Heritage breeds and help the market for them carry on.
Delaware, Light Brahma, Barred Rock
Donna (Delaware)
Ruby (Barred Rock)
Penelope (Light Brahma) May have to find a new name...
Boy a local source of NICE white rocks would be a great thing too!!!!!
That reminded me of an old post by Cyn ...... With Georgia being the poultry capital of the world, you should be able to find some white rocks there, right?
I enjoyed the article and the author is dead on. However, did you see the picture of the barred Plymouth rocks that she had in her article? Now compare the picture of the hen sitting on a log from Nebraska. Thats the old Heritage Barred Plymouth Rock that I wished the author could have used. I bet there is 5000 people have these production barred Rocks in the country pictured in this article. Yet they are considered the Heritage Breed of Plymouth Rocks by so many authors. I was thinking out of say 1000 people who use this site only about 50 to maybe 100 are interested in the real fowl to help preserve.
So for those who feel that this movement we started on this thread will put the hatcheries out of business or encroach into the production chicken net work it will never happen. Too many people do not want to fool with these kinds of chickens and happy getting what they get each spring from their current sources or feed stores.
Now for the names I like your titles. I think we should keep the Heritage name along with the breed and maybe the word Official.
Official Heritage Rhode Island Red Site.
I am going to sleep on this title and then may start something tomorrow. bob
YAY!!! Go check 'em out!
