I had already disposed of her before I realized that the others might have a problem. The other 2 girls seem to be doing ok for now.

I have 2 pens full of roos, all kinds of commotion there, i am supposed to deliver 24 of them to Pitkin when i get homeI don't think your crazy! If I had room I would certainly hatch out a much larger number than we do. I don't even know how many we hatched out last year. But I ended up only keeping 2 hens and 2 cockerels of my red bantam cochins from what I hatched last year. I probably hatched 50-75 of only that type.
Go for it! I've been doing all sorts of gardening chores already too. It just feels like its time even though its much earlier than usual.
I have cock pens to build in the next week!
Whatsup chicken peeps??
I've been MIA from byc for awhile........but the chicken life saga continues here. I've finally chosen which breeders to keep for this season and sold off the rest. Ugh. I had to put on my big girl chicken pants and just make the choices. Selling or eating extras is so final. You just can't take it back. I like my choices now. But will I like them in 3 to 6 months?? That's the next question!!!
Maybe I can catch up with the reading here, lol.
We the addiction kicked in hard core. Over the past week I've loaded 12 dz eggs in my bators. Mostly different bantam breeds. How is everyone doing? Pam do you ship eggs?
Great news! Keep us up to date on your hatch. I'm starting one tonight or tomorrow . PamYou might say i have gone crazy but i have been working on this Cabinet incubator,( trial run) it is supposed to hold 5 turners but shown with only 4 here, my plan is to stage my hatch's seven days apart, so that i am turning about 30 birds a week, i am banking on 75% hatch rates. plus i can hatch eggs in the top tray that take longer and not effect my other hatch's, i have 10 Muscovy eggs in the top, Pam, the bottom tray has 12 CCL eggs from the stock i got from you, they are the bottom left, the blue eggs on right are the White crested legbar eggs i have been working on for awhile now, The pullet in my profile picture is the mother of the pullets that lay these bluer eggs, She was fathered by and crossed back to CCL roo, MY Pet Chicken sales the same birds for $62.00 each, they call them Frost Whites,these will be 3rd gen. and should be even bluer. If i am lucky, something will hatch from this bunch of eggs.
I am wanting some turkeys, well my wife wants them so it is the same thing
I have acquired 2 Royal Palm Turkeys through a friend, we got 82 eggs yesterday but also picked up new customers, Pam, I have had good luck with the pair of CCLs i got from you, i have 9 hens and many roosters, the hens retained perfect colors, some roosters have, some have creole or barred features. Thanks for the wonderful startI had a heritage one last thanksgiving. Good eats!
