I need a bantam EE roo!

No EE roo. I might have to put the kibosh on my project; I think raising a LF roo would upset flock dynamics. Alpha roo is a bantam, and I do NOT want him knocked out of position. He is the best rooster I have ever owned. I'd have to get rid of some more cockerels if I did.... Alpha breaks up fights, therefore letting me have more roosters than I usually would. And there would be more wear on the girls...... I've thought on this issue quite a bit. One possible solution would be to build a breeding pen.

I started at 7 am, I can't work earlier, don't want to distribute my good neighbor.

Doesn't it cool down at night?

Worked on my coop and back yard onder the August sun, it was a killer! Worke that normally take me 2 ouer took me for, and still didn't finish it! I HATE SUMMERS!

You should do the work early in the morning then.

 

I can't say that I fully understand the advantage of a nailer, other than speed. They use what....6d or 8d nails?  I normally use 10's. Like you, I prefer screws, but then you're talking some $$

Nailer is faster, nails are cheaper, faster is cheaper, cheaper is money saved, faster is money saved if you're paying somebody to do the work. Not sure what size the nails are that his gun uses.

 

I see a trip in my future!

I wouldn't mind distributing the neighbors...over a very wide area; wide enough that I couldn't see or hear them

Not anyone is fortunate as you.

Quote: I dont know I hatched these from my stock for an order and they never got them so Dad is raising them, I will process sept, prol labor day. his pheasant run is empty so he took them and i am taking him feed bags for them.

They are lovely birds

Quote: well worth it, but I hope you didnt crash n burn lol

I have an empty coop.

Well not for long. Altsterier chicks are going into it. Then the project bird will go into theirs as I sort thought the hens to keep for the rooster. This is him and some of his girls.

Did you change the municipality attitude to pet birds called chicken?
you are serious!!! ha ha ha I need mental help at this point

I'm excited to say 8 of my chicks have hatched so far and I have several that have pipped. I'm so excited for this hatch! My roo is a blue copper marans and these are his first chicks! I incubated a dozen of his eggs. Four are easter egger eggs. The last eight are either barred rock or rir (again the blue copper marans is the sire). Then I am also incubating another dozen that I traded for. Twelve purebred black copper marans eggs. Of my own dozen there are seven that have hatched and several pipped. I think two of my own haven't hatched. Of the dozen that were laid on another farm, only one has hatched. They still have two more days for hatching!

Two of the chicks are blue!! The rest are a mix of mostly dark grey with just a haze of brown on the fave of one and the sides of another. Of those last two, one has feathered legs and the other has clean legs. My roo is the French variety, so he has feathered legs. The other 6 chicks are still not fully dry so they're still in the incubator. I'll have to post tomorrow which of those chicks have feathered legs and which don't. I think it's so cool seeing which traits are or are not inherited. So interesting!

great news!!!!
