Thanks for the great idea.

That's a money saver too.

Indeed! You're not a Yankee in disguise, are you?

We were dicussing construction on another thread!! FIgured to do it from small bales and kids will be happy. Just need the right tarp--don't think the blue ones will work . . . . hmmm maybe a sheet of heavy ply plastic under it?

Just to clear up any confusion...The Buckeye comparison I previously posted belong to Laura at http://pathfindersfarm.com/Assessing.html
I was simply pointing to it as the best example I have seen of 2 separate lines of the same breed. If only people would post photos of their favorite breeds dressed or should I say...UN-dressed.

I will scan through hundreds of photos in BYC threads of X breed (it's so great yada, yada) and see TONS of pictures chick to adult but it stops there... Zip - Nada - Nothing of what the bird looks like on a platter. Check out this Bresse bird everyone is so gung ho about....where's the meat? No photos. That's what that bird is supposed to be all about.

My website is www.javahillfarm.com (work in progress) Where my focus is on the Java.

Oh - and that's not my swimming pool either LOL That was a joke!

But its a cool joke another note it says 'I love southern boys' on the pic and as much as I'd like to claim its heritage an all with me being a southern boy(Louisiana) that silage pit in the background(the hill with the white cover and tires all placed on it) and the landscape/terrain(flat as a pancake) tell me this is more than likely somewhere in the corn belt region (mid west or plains states). I would still claim it (the idea of a good ol boy coming up with the plan) though.

Anyhow I've seen worse ideas before(like dumpster diving/ trash bin made into a pool) surely not southern

LOL

You're welcome!

I think a lot of folks worry that their "non - CX" processed birds look more like the party joke rubber chicken of yore...

But once I realized that even my skinny chickens tasted good, and my improvement birds still have their feathers on - it didn't bother me any more!
