...

Had a ton of fun yesterday at the Indiana pigeon show and brought home some birds. One breed that wasn't available to purchase but that I eventually want to own is the Jacobean pigeon. Here is a pic of one that was entered in the competition:

And here are a couple of other birds at the show:

Michiana here. Currently have a Buff Orp flock. I'm interested in obtaining Buckeyes and Silver Dorkings.

I'm likely very close to you Don't have BOs (oly because I've heard they eat way more than other breeds and are more expensive to feed)...but I am interested in getting some Buckeyes in the future. I have a list of a couple of breeders and there is a waiting list. If you'd like the contacts, send me a pm.

Otherwise I have an original few birds from the hatchery and Swedish Flower hens.

They are a few that my white silkie hatched (hidden eggs) and are either bantam cochin or millie or OEGB mixed birds.

I talked to you before about your roo and you scared me out of him. LOL (the bruise) and i am 2 hrs. from you but i would love to get my hands on the others. I have a swedish roo i think they would make pretty babies. I have 2 polish hens and they NEVER lay. no, I have 3.

I'm downsizing our duck flock still. I have Khakis for sale or trade right now. We will be processing more roosters tomorrow followed by the ducks if we have enough time. I say that every processing day and something has come up so far to spare many of the ducks. A handful of ducks have not been spared and they were rather tasty. Just not a lot of meat on the female khaki ducks.

Again the ducks were spared. And I found a new home for one of the roosters.

For those of you that hatch eggs, how old is too old to be a reliable rooster?

Was really pleasantly surprised today when my two rescued hens gave us a present! Or should I say 4! Have had them for a month with no eggs.

This is very cool

Here is a similar but much longer video about the human process. It is just as cool to watch if you have the time.
