Nope nope nope nope nope....

I have a PLAN though!!!! I want to do it RIGHT! Once I get the renovations done to the house in a few years, I'm going to build a duck palace and a pond, and reinforce the fence like Fort Knox. THEN I'll get the webberz. (And yes, Banti, I'm leaning toward Welshies these days...)

DH asked me today what I wanted for Valentine's Day. I told him a couple three cattle panels so I can make sun shades for my flock and a trellis or two and real fast said and a dozen of our neighbors mixed breed bantam eggs for my incubator......and smiled sweetly.

He's a good guy. Guess I'd better calibrate the Brinsea tomorrow.

I don't have them yet - S&G discontinued NNs, but sold their stock to Dunlap, so I called Dunlap, confirmed their broiler NNs were from that S&G stock, and ordered 25 for their very first available hatch (hatch date Feb. 22). I will be plotting their growth in detail compared to my hodge podge group from Ideal (that I'm delighted with), and if they are large as expected, will be crossing them with both the Aloha NNs coming later (to improve size) and with the German New Hampshires. I'll post about them ad nauseum on the NN thread, no doubt - likely cross posted on the Breeding for Production thread as well (they like graphs!).

I was going to wait (so many chicks already this year). But I already have the 'bator fired up... and I figure, what's 6 more chicks, max. I mean, that's nothing! And it shouldn't take me too long to set up and build breeding housing for them... in addition to the housing for the aloha naked necks... and the S&G naked necks,,, and the German New Hampshires....

(Someone restrain me, quick!!!!)

ANT FARM STOOOOOOPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!.
