BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

Wonderful. Now is the time. My 6 roosters are 7 wks old but not real big yet and the other 6 are 3 wks old. Not even talking about the females.

Love ya Turk. You're a good son. And so funny.

Thank you! I guess? I've been called 'funny' for a great deal of my life. I consider it a badge of honour!

I'm too young for the 'Disco Craze' but I know where some of the old hang-outs were!

Man, Turk, I can just see you in a white leisure suit. With the "pose".

I have a pic of dad in one of those...no kidding. If I weren't counting on him for a lovely, long vacation, I'd post it! It is blue but just a funky looking! I still might do it!!!

INFORMATION, PLEASE? A young couple near me can not be convinced that NN's are truly excellent birds for all weather conditions. I won't give or sell them birds anyhow but they are determined to find out something about Buckeyes. They don't have a pc right now and I'm not certain it would help them much. I've searched what seems to be available and get conflicting tales, with regard to their heritage. I doubt the ACTUAL truth is known about any breed but there just seems to be a shortage of info. for the Buckeye.

I would appreciate if a respected breeder or judge could give me the 'facts' and I will relay to them.



Thanks in advance.

I certainly am not a 'snob' so that is not the reason I wouldn't provide them a few birds, even if they were crazy about my breed. They are good 'kids' with three little snot-noses of their own and their idea of feeding chicken is to fling out a bit of cracked corn at them once a day. That actually might work pretty well around here for the next 5 or 6 months but if I can help them find the breed they are most interested in, I will also try to help them learn how to properly feed chickens. (No...Not MY Pain-In-The-Butt system).

Re-posted from another thread that I posted on first with no help so far.

Why would you want to help people who seem bound and determined to commit animal abuse? I'd tell them that they really need to enroll their kids in chicken 4-H first.

You talkin' to me? I am NOT hellbender but I certainly do know him.

AND...I believe these were two different families. Not sure but I'll be seeing hellbender in a few days and I will be certain to check this out for you...

Taking a screen-shot ..right now!

I can remember seeing the movie trailers for Saturday Night Fever and being startled that people actually *wanted* to dress and behave like that. Portland, OR and Seattle, WA discos tended to be different - everyone was pretty much dressed in hippy style or what is now known as "grunge" because the only people who would be caught dead in polyester suits were underpaid female office staff. I remember that the restaurant at Earthquake Ethel's was pompously fancy and inedible. Sigh.

To me everything east of Michigan is pretty much terra incognita, full of monsters and people who talk funny.

Ok...here's a pic of a purebred. The crossbred pups

I thought that was a Tibetan Mastiff? Chinese (not Tibetan or even US) lines?

I did a google image search and that is a stock picture of a Tibetan Mastiff.

You are both correct. That is a pic of a Tibetan Mastiff. I took it from the page for Ovcharkas. My error.



Here is a picture of the real thing.
