I have a male and 2 females, 1 not laying yet, but I can put them together in the breeding pen and ship you some over the summer or fall!?  Would that be helpful?

thanks

Maybe Kristin forgot to take a bath.

I was wondering what that stench was from the south today....It smelled like a naked neck!

You get rid of most of the 60 chickens and buy back quality breeding stock. Then you build lots and lots of pens to keep all the breeding stock separate from all the other breeds.

If you want just one breed, you get rid of all the roosters except that breed...

And expect to work your butt off, Having lots of breeding pens keeps me busy most the day.

Pen them separately or eat the rest.

I would never eat my chickens

Here's another good laugh

So I bought some premier 1 quikfence to contain the pigs...says it installs in 10 minutes...they must assume I was able to find the directions they hid inside the roll of fencing that I couldn't figure out how to unroll...

...

1.5 hours later, it's mostly installed...I just read the directions fully...it still isn't right

Your first tip off was that fact that they spelled it "Quik" - which in my experience is never actually quick...

@BantyChooks 29 HRIR or BSL eggs and 67 future EE from my Blue Ameruacana are delivered and being set tomorrow morning 1/27.

Awesome!

Dax are these from your remaining HRIRs, or did you get some eggs from the outside to beef up your numbers/genetics?
