Quote: Yeah, i have 4 of those, but they eat more than my EE's and are half the size. both groups producing about the same amount of eggs. I'm thinking I need more chickens for more eggs........Funny I don't hear anyone saying no more chickens.....

Thank you chicky! also.... just for the record I wrote "no chickens will work for that" and then I just couldn't post it!! too funny!
You are a goofball...........but I like it!!!!!

Oh, and Daisy duck died today. She was a white runner duck and she was Aflac's girlfriend. I have no idea what happened...

She was running around and swimming with the other ducks when I left to go help with the middle school band concert. When I came back an hour later, I found her dead. It wasn't a predator and she appear perfectly healthy...

AAAWWWWWWW

Poor Daisy

I am selling my Red Silkie chicks, I have too much going on, change of plans, no silkie breeding. Will sell them all off and keep our white hen and black hen and keep them with the serama.

I never took baby pics, but they were the most gorgeous looking chicks ever, some strange markings and big skulls.
This is now at 3 weeks or so cant think right now..... they will get a deep rusty red

OMG, Why do I live so far away????? I want them..........

Quote: Thanks and they ROCKED! My oldest even came home for some and said "can I make some plates!" LOL that always tells you they love it!

if we were worried about efficiencies, we all need to quit chickens and go to quails. coturnix lay every day startint at 7-8 weeks of age. They require 2lb of feed to make 1lb of egg. Even efficient chickens take 3 lbs of feed to make 1 lb of egg.

but the question is.... are they cute?

Leave it to OZ to say what none of us want to admit.................so bad..............

Just got a text from bernie. one of our january hatches has started to lay eggs, woohoo. i am only going to be on the farm 48rs but will only be eating duck chicken and eggs from the farm

it is working

it is really working!!

I have 2 broody local hens too - they will get the 1/2 the guinea fowl and 1/2 the barred rock eggs look after. If my brother in law has a broody, she will get the golden sebrights - they are for him anyway.
