Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[ramirezframing]

So what do you think this roo is? The rose comb got me.

He does not look like any of my mutts.

Yellow legs and a rose comb would say a silver laced wyandotte, just not colored the best. His coloring might clear up some after his first adult molt.

One of the people I got eggs off with that run has Slw but I did not buy any. Maybe I got a mutt inadvertently

wow i had no idea

we drove 4 hours round trip yesterday to go pick up a 1/2 dozen blue slate poults

i hope to have hatching eggs from them next spring


Oz what does your turkey line-up look like at the moment?

we went to the TSC chicken swap over in Maine on sunday

I sold 1 pullet but i only had 10 left to sell from all of the eggs i hatched out (over 200)

my broody hen hatched out 3 ducklings also which i had with me

as luck would have it an Indian guy with some farm land came by & we got to talking

he said he wanted some ducklings

i explained that i have 80 muscovy eggs already in the bator

so i would have more ducklings to offer starting in a couple more weeks

he said he wanted them all !!!

i got the impression that he likes fresh farm raised meat, not that garbage in the stores.

i guess i'll find out in a couple more weeks.

at the risk of being off topic... Does Muscovy meat really taste more like beef?

my wife took some, cut it up, added 1/2 an onion, & some potato then cooked it all up in a fry pan.

it looked & tasted like beef to me
