Only way to mute a rooster is to remove the vocal chords with an incision all the way through the neck to separate the head

I believe my neighbors are getting suspicious of me being a "chicken hoarder" LMAO! I keep working into the conversation about how I'm planning to get rid of some... I just don't mention the ones that will replace them.

sounds like me when we went to pick up our amerucana's from the breeder we were just going to get 4 but ended up getting the following:

4 amerucana's 1 black 2 blue 1 splash
2 lavendar opingtons
2 rumpless araucana's

she told my daughter to pick a couple of "packing peanuts" she liked needless to say my daughter was very happy and she picked very well she picked the rumpless.

When I was a kid in south Texas (during the 50s) we had a place in walking distance called "Naylor's Hatchery." Boy am I glad there isn't one here now. Or am I?

Awe, we're starting very small this year.. but I have plans of expanding our flock in the future... but not for a while

I figured as much about the mute comment. It's about like caponizing. I hate having to give away my boys! One is particularly beautiful--he's a black copper marans and his tail is coming in looking gorgeous.

I keep going into TSC and looking at the babies. One guy in the store keeps asking me if I'm going to buy any and I have to tell him no, I just enjoy looking. They only sell them 6 at a time and I really don't need more but it's so tempting!

Pray for me! I'm going with a friend to the hatchery to help her pick out her chicks tomorrow. I can do it. I can be strong.

hatcheries are just a means to enable .. now the truly sick have everything right at home and keep the incubator humming
