ok I have a quandry. As you might have remembered, I have been on the lookout for a jubilee rooster forEVER. I had a few coming, then somethign would happen, and I gave up.

Now pappabrooder has moved things around so I can have one of his not related to my one remaining girl. But is a pair enough to even bother with? I suppose I could get another english orphington hen to put in there so she is not overbred, but i'm just not sure if its worth it. I should answer him soon, he PMed me last week but I did not get it until today. They ARE beautiful birds, but i dont want pinhead to hate me...

Yes!

You can get a lot of chicks from just two. He only has to be with her every other day for a couple of hours a day.

Get this! I read a news story the other day that said fertility in Humans goes down if intercourse happens more than once a day.

I bet the same thing works with chickens.

Speaking of Tahoe ... Please let me know of another visit so that we can complete our olandsk / maraduna transactions . I really love the olandsk . Super cold hardy and SWEET. My favorite over easy- just the perfect size))) Happy to have them here!

Consider the balance on the OD a gift. : ) I cannot remember what transaction is pending on the Basque. Do you owe $ for basque, or did you want to get birds?

Sorry, My memory is terrible and last year's chicken file is now in storage.

What I thought the Marans club was perfect and all there varieties ..... That must drive some of them nuts that not all there birds have been perfected yet lol

They need more good breeders to work on the three accepted varieties.

After this weekends farmers market find, I have 12 cups of kiwi syrup. Anyone have a favorite recipe? right now i'm freezing it for future ice cream and soda making. The remaining pulp is going to become fruit leather.

I will have more next week I bet! ( also, chicken only so so about kiwi peels..)

Sadly several of us in my family break out with bumps when we eat Kiwi. I really like Kiwi too....
