BYC Café

What breeds do you have now?
If my memory serves me you are only allowed to keep hens (?)
I have one Pita Pinta, One hen I hatched from trader joes eggs and 4 Blue egg layers from the University of Alabama. The blue egg layers were a Grad project from the University to make a blue black splash breed that lays blue eggs...a lot of blue eggs!
 
@Shadrach I had a hatchery Rhode Island Red go broody so I don't believe that nonsense either.

I know for a fact the moms of the 7 older pullets I have here also went broody so I'm hoping a few have the trait. I would rather NOT incubate if I don't have to.
Like I said, our personal experience is anecdotal. There are actual university papers that show the declining rate of broodiness and that is based on more data than we perceive with our experiences

Using words like nonsense and etc. is a bit inflammatory. It is similar to saying that I am full of nonsense since I posted it And I thought we were friends....:lau

not serious of course but it is amazing how passionate we are over birds.:jumpy
 
Good afternoon, Café, fresh pot is brewed.

Rats, mice, snakes, spiders, bees, wasps - no fear. An angry woman - :oops:

3 days in the field down - 2 more to go. Have I complained about the judging here ? I think not, but today it sucked. I won't even get into the first series evaluations, but second series performance - :he The high brace had an extremely poor performance in an easy area leading to a vocal argument on the part of the judges. Second brace had a tough area to run in and did an exceptional job. Lily was back fourth and ended up being defeated in this run. They held the high brace in and the best pair in the class ended up getting third and fourth. Tomorrow different judges at a different club.
:yuckyuck:goodpost:

My apologies Ron. I didn't think I'd implied anything about you personally.

ETA I didn't realize not agreeing with everything a person says would mean they're an enemy.

Something fun happened at work today. The drill engineer has been making these neat cutouts out of copper (Cu) clad laminates, at least 100 mils thick. He made a John Deer tractor for one of the drill operators. The hood actually would flip up on the tractor.
As soon as I saw this I said to him, "Can you make me a rooster?" So he is! Now MY rooster will start out Cu, but he will end up gold. I'm going to plate him after I get him. these are the two line drawings I gave the drill engineer to use to set up the mill machine with.
