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

[ozexpat]

This is such an amazing story! spent the better part of 2 nights catching up LOL

welcome! and thanks

Thanks so much.

I need to really work on the website. I have a few ideas but getting down to completing it will take a few straight hours.

I have been sidetracked with an Android app for chicken math.................

I found that since I had ordered 2 assortment packages from the hatchery somebody there has a great formula for chicken math. Here's what they sent:

1 pair Buff Orp
1 pair White Cochin
1 pair Silver laced Wyandotte
4 Dark Cornish Pullets 1 Cock
4 Red Sex Link Pullets, 1 Cock
2 EE Cocks
2 Black Pullets, could be Jersey Giants, Austrolopes, or black sex links
1 unknown Pullet
4 Barred Rock Pullets 1 is a mix (posable Cuckoo x Leghorn?), 4 Cocks (besides the 5 pullets 1 cock I ordered)
4 Rhode Island Red Pullets, 1 Cock (which I ordered)

So I can't have JUST a pair, what if I loose one to a predator or illness.... Gotta make more of em, Call it an insurance policy, so 2=6 x 3 pairs.

They send me 2 EE Cocks, no hens for the boys, so 2 roo's 4 hens each, need 8 EE hens for the boys for entertainment.
I get Dark Cornish, A breed that takes up to 2 years to fully mature....

We will call them Research and development....
OOOOHHHH and don't forget the enablers at BYC.com (has to be a link in the app) Once you see all the different colored eggs

you now need 4 of each blue layers (Ancaunu and Cream Legbars) and a Roo and lets not forget the Marans (so hard to just pick one of the Marans)... And now I see Quail eggs, Speckled non the less,,,, I need a few of those as well

WOW.

I burned my eyes reading the entire thread

it took me from yesterday and today. Thanks for letting us to know all your adventures, journeys and experiences.
I saw you wrote a lot of spanish words(Castellan for me)

at different posts and I have a question: Who is Mrs. Oz?

Pardon my English is no as good as yours.

And now I'm subscribed

Dios te bendiga.

bienvenido Francisco!

Sra. Oz es mi esposa. Ella nació en Filipinas, pero nos casamos en EE.UU.. Ella ha regresado a Filipinas para adoptar a nuestros hijos.

Mi Espanol es malo. Lo ciento.

great rationalizing.

i added 12 dark cornish to my collection also. i would like to try them. If I get an extra roo from the hatch, I will put him over one or two of my locals to see what happens. I cant count research chickens either.

or google translate

Aunque nací y crecí en un barrio llamado "Chihuahuita" en Nuevo México .... mis conocimientos de español no son buenas. He estado en Old México muchas veces y parece que "conseguir-por" allright con las palabras ... si es simple y lento ... pero los mexicanos hablan Inglés MUCHO MEJOR americano que yo españoles / mexicanos. Aunque la edad en edad ahora ... Todavía estoy tratando de aprender español mucho mejor.

Sinaloa es un estado hermoso de México. También soy muy aficionado de Michoacán.

"Google Translate" is MUCH BETTER than me............

LoveOfChicken.....Where in Sinaloa are you ??? Que donde? Amigo ?

Ha-Ha !!!

I'm from La Cruz, Sinaloa. And yes, it is. Aunque tiene demasiado narcotráfico sigue siendo un estado hermoso sobre todo Ceuta, Celestino Gazca, Mazatlan y Topolobampo. I miss my town.
I have plans to visit it this year(FOR X-MAS), if not I'll be there next SEMANA SANTA to the beach se ha dicho. JEJEJE
Saludos
