Bummer Red Nugget. Sorry.


Daskhan and red nugget, I think you should delete the posts with that joke. Unless, you want to be on double secret probation. I know the moderators will not find the humor in it.


I would hate to see you gone for having it posted or repeating it here....



Back to the toad names. I like the idea of adding to the name.

I have "rainbow toads"....... If I cross them with my Creamettes I would have " Creamed toads"

RIR would be "red toads"

BA would make "black toads"

Leghorns would be "horny Toads"

White rocks could be " Rocky Toads"

Red rangers would be "Ranger Toad" or " toad rangers"

If Holm could get his Muscovy's to breed with a CX we would have "squirting toads".

Well Ralph, I think we need a sign on the wall at the B&G with all your new breed names! They are great!

White Peacocks really are pretty! We have a "neighbor" (they live about 2 miles away) that has them. I always stare out the window trying to catch a peek at them with their feathers fanned out. I almost creamed a deer once as a result.

I like the names. Agree with Ralph on the jokes. Wrong forum. Not that I beleive in censorship nor do i like any of the politicians

Alright, dang family is gone finally. Did you guys leave any vodka for me????? Hubby's brother got hitched finally, been 10 years and 3 kids later, and the whole crazy family was here. Hubby and I think to ourselves, "they are here for the wedding so they won't bug us, right"? Wrong.

We are exhausted and I will be washing 67 dozen eggs today, doing a print job and quoting 4 more as well as starting advertising invoicing for my biggest project of the year that beings on Sept 1. Lucky me, I also have 4 loads of laundry to fold, 750 laying hens to care for and my "proper" number of baby chicks to tend.

Ralphie, if you and MM drank up the vodka, I'm going to be really mad!

But anyway, the chicks are doing really well, starting to get their feathers and will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. These EE chicks seem much beefier than my two that I started with. I'm thinking they may have come from better hatchery stock. They have thick legs are are bigger than my sexlinks by quite a bit. They are a lovely array of different colors and patterns. I'm excited to see them grown.

My new layer group is up to 28 dozen eggs per day now, which is seriously helping the bottom line. It's nice to have them paying their rent now! Several dozen of the eggs are still small and I have quite a back stock of those but I have found a few friends that will buy them and I am helping a neighbor that has a CSA that offers eggs each week too. I also give away a bunch when it is looking like important fridge space is being sucked up! I sold 259 dozen eggs last week! Pretty exciting!
