BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

I dumped Chrome, I use Firefox, and I stopped allowing Adobe flash to update. Firefox prevents flash from running if it's outdated, voila- no videos. I can allow flash to run if I want to see something specific.

BYC is almost the worst I've been on. I have no ad blocker. Laptop, not good, almost used profanity.
$25 dollar store phone though? !!
Awesome in mobile! Ads are not even noticeable.

I suppose these "free" forums have to be supported in some way or other, I don't mind the static ads so much, but the autorun videos drive me nuts, as do those pop up things that turn your screen dark and butt in- like those wretched sign up for free email things. aaarghh!!!

Went to collect the daily duck egg and discovered she'd laid it under the broody hen with the Muscovy eggs. I'll have to candle tonight and see if I can figure out which egg it is.

Ronott1, how are those Arkansas blue egg layers working out?

I have two left. They are back to laying 5-6 eggs each a week.

Are you going to get some? They are good egg layers but are not good for meat.

I still processed the cockerels though.

imuttsfan is going to have eggs ready in April.

@ronott1 nah, not going to pay to turn off ads.
Phone works great in mobile, no probs.

It is to support BYC too. The Mods and others that run the site are not paid. It is a labor of love.

Unfortunately getting poultry across the border is a real pain (and and expensive one) so I have to admire those blue layers (and a bunch of other breeds) from afar. I'm mostly interested in egg layers myself, meat birds not so much. I'm keen on my Dark Cornish for their egg characgteristics too! So far for a meat breed I've been impresses (they are not exhibition birds though). A very interesting breed, those Cornish.
