Save me. Please save me. I have the girl child here for the next few months. The boys have to get a trip out on the truck and then she will get to go back out.
My laptop died over the summer. I am stuck on a netbook until my husband can replace it. This thing is slow and can not do a 1/5th of what I normally am doing online any day of the week.
On a more chicken note we got Cornish Crosses. 10 weeks and they are small. Like not enough meat on one to be a real meal. Not happy with them and will not get them again. Now Bob ( the husband) has me searching for a breed we can use for meat and eggs. I got a list and he and I are going over it to see what breed or breeds will work for us.
This is the list of breeds we are trying to decide: Australorp, Barnevelder
Brahma, Buckeye, Chantecler, Cornish (the breed not the cross), Delaware,
Dominique, Dorking, Faverolles, Java, Jersey Giant, Langshan, Orpington, Sussex
Turken (Naked Neck), Wyandotte
This is like the 10 billionth time Bob has decided to go in another direction. I just want to get things settled and done. Oh and he is now wanting to move to North Dakota or Montana. If he ever makes up his mind and sticks to it I will probably keel over from shock. lol
Got to get the kids to bed. Miss you all. Hugs and Cookies
from my experience the Wyandotte's are easy to pick and tasty takes about 7 to 9 months for a decent size bird. I do the sliver laced, The lorps are a ROYAL PAIN black pin feather on white skinned bird. GREAT egg layers. Brahma's take FOREVER long narrow chests/breast BIG legs and eat lots BUT I keep a few for "eye candy"
