I should not have looked at that rare breed auction. I want an English Jubilee Orpington rooster on there

madamwlf, how do you like the bresse compared to other meat breeds? I just looked them up and its a little freaky the way they leave the heads on, but the carcass looks nice and meaty. Def better than your average C/R cross as far as free-ranging and maintenance go. Those C/R are like eating machines that can't hold themselves up.

I was impressed with the way my black sexlink chicks put on weight this year and was thinking of trying some of them for freezer camp (cockerels this time of course). But I've never heard of anyone actually eating black SL's .

The Bresse are impressive because they look a lot like a beautiful white Leghorn , just a little meatier.

There are alot of people in my state who eat BSL's. We used to sell them all the time, just for that.

I had to share this story, I was talking to my neighbor the other day and he asked if my chickens were laying yet. I told him none were old enough yet, but my duck should start laying anytime. His response "Ducks lay eggs!?" I said yes, he asked if you could eat them. I did not laugh. I really wanted to but managed not to. I mean most people do know birds lay eggs right?

I have one for you

Had customers pull in on a Saturday (we have farm pick ups for eggs ect). She gets out and shrieks "OMG look at that goose its SO FAT!" "OMG (husbands name) LOOK AT HOW FAT THAT GOOSE IS". He gets out and begins to echo her very loud shrieks. They were looking at our exhibition dewlap toulouse lol. She then looks me in the ey and is totally serious. "IS SHE PREGNANT?" yes she yelled it. I tried to explain geese lay eggs, to which her face went blank and she shook her head. "NO THEY DONT"

Wow... do some people live under a rock? Apparently they are not smarter than a 3rd grader- My youngest girl (3rd grader) was learning that a few a weeks ago in science- of course being a farm girl she had that lesson down pat.

But you shipped Blue Marans. Those are blue merin chickens, those are the rare ones. LOL I shouldn't make fun of people that can't spell. My son is spelling challenged. Good thing he is an engineering major.
