well part of that is because you are trying to build up your breeding/gene pool Personally I would give it another year. AND you just got NIPI so you can ship eggs and chicks??

I have seen them on FB for $15.00 and some for $200.00 and that was a roo.

what crosses are you interested in ?  I sure wouldnt call it a failure.  I dont believe any of us can get rich from chickens no matter how fancy the breed.  average peep cant afford the fancys. Look at me, been trying to get a flock of tolbunts started for years now. I have 2 hens. I know even if I do I cant sell them for a lot. IF I wanted to make any money here where I live it would be with the amish and egg layers. Something I have no interest in. LOL

I've got an OE cuckoo marans roo from Sally. I want to put him with the cochin/hona pullets so they keep their big size and feather legs. Maybe get some blue barring and tinted eggs? Or I could put him with EEs for better color on them.

Then I have the white EEs and legbar pullets I want to put with the sapphire roo, for more color and better laying. Actually my EEs are my best layers, so I have good potential there.

Ancona!

Love those too!  Do you know what color?

Black/white and I think maybe a tri-colored drake? They are from Sally.

 
I just seen a hawk outside too but its dusk 

Dumb thing went quiet as soon as I went out so I never saw it.  Let out a scream as soon as I stepped back inside!  Older serama were all inside the coop and the serama youngsters in the garage, so they must be smarter than I give them credit for. 

DH and I had some big talks today. I'm torn between downsizing for the future or building breed pens for the breeds.


My farm had been a dismal failure. I see mistakes (honas) as opportunities to learn and move forward. He sees a reason to quit and simplify.


I just really feel so strongly about the crosses I want to make. I think they'll be a better fit in this demographic.

You are too young to quit!   Listen to your gut and follow your dream!

I dont think it should be allowed but I dont make the rules. I unsubscribed after the last entry that got 8 likes in a very short time. I was surprised to learn Wishing won. I wouldnt have know if you didnt tell it.
