So what you are saying is that you have a pinch hitter for your nose? Lucky you I guess with stinky chicken poo and all. Not my favorite aroma to be sure.

yep...my kids and husband sniff the meat in the fridge to see if it's gone over the edge on the bright side I get to miss out on dog farts and chicken poop.

Me too!! Thanks Do you know of anybody up my way that has a Polish pullet or 2 to sell?

Chiquita???

I'm concerned that she is only laying soft shelled eggs. What type of feed are you feeding?

I had an older hen that was laying soft shelled eggs. I put the flock on Flockraiser (I was mixing Flockraiser/Layer pellets before) and put them all on vitamins. The soft shelled eggs became shelled eggs again.

But if your girl is having crop issues, treat that first with ACV. (the organic stuff with the mother in it) And never put it in a metal waterer. Then when that clears up, you can deal with the soft eggs.

I feed King. I have to go look at the the lable. They were out of layer pellets so this is a flock raiser. What did you do for vitamins? I have Durvet electrolytes and vitamins for hot days. Should I try that on the regular?

Okay, thanks.

Welcome! I think sizzles are AOV for the variety of chicken they come from ( cochin, silkie, etc) But the Silkie compititiom was KILLER this year due to it being Nationals. California still did well but there were silkies from all over the country.

I'm trying to get a small flock of Brahmas I was thinking of getting chicks from a hatchery online. I don't want that many I just want a small flock. Any suggestions?

i gave beautiful buff/gold laced brahmas and sell hatching eggs if you wanted to go that route but I can't hatch anymore this year for orders

Quote: Thank you. He looks like his father. But my rooster, Moose, is getting up there in age - he is almost 4 years old. So I wanted a son out of him while I have the chance.

Here is his father, Moose, at 6 months old:


And his son yesterday, at 5 months old. He still has a lot of filling in to do, but I think he'll turn out wonderfully.

I like the way they look!

Thanks Ron. I'm quite excited with this years breeding. I'm very pleased with how they are growing. I can't wait for the pullets to start laying to see their egg color!

The picture of your rooster is so cool looking! His coloring really adds to the picture.

No chicken tv on this rainy day. At least we got the wire up and 1/2 the rocks around their yard before the storm flew in!
