Doesn't matter if they like it...(I hug the odd one too that doesn't like it) View attachment 1034297

I have enough birds that clamber right into my lap as soon as they get a chance that I don't bother much with the others. Little brats.

I have "out there" ideas...lol.

I read up exactly what the clan breeding was. I don't do it quite like that. I don't know if I have much to offer on your post. (I might just look really, really silly)

Ahh.... Thanks.

Might send Joey a message and see if he's still around these parts; I know he's at least looked into it.

Nice! I just learned if I clap my hands they all come running. Even more than usual without the hand clapping. They just want my treats...user birds!

As to not be too much of a downer, I am going to post a link to a post of mine.

I don't want to re-type it and do not want to dwell on it..

It seems to be very specific...that type of breeding. I'm still a bit up in the air since I will apparently always have cockerels coming in. But I never change my guys...I keep em till the end of time unless something's wrong with the line. Then they get axed. The whole line

I just have to yell "yoo-hoo" into the yard and like magic, chickens come streaming from every corner....

I don't agree with that principle either. Which is why I asked my question.... It would greatly change if it made sense or not.

Ok...that's just awesome!

I can go there and discuss. If you want me too.
