"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[catdaddyfro]

If anyone has any extra hens for sale, please let me know. I am looking for hens for an old man in my area. Thanks!

What kind are you/he wanting? I have multitudes of them but I'm not in your area of course LOL

Good morning La-yers and BYC-ers this cool morning

Celie I am in the process of making(remaking) Delawares, a project I'm in on with a lady in MO but I will be probly 3 more years(generations) down the road before they are finalized. I have some Ideal Delawares they are good layers but poor in type for Dels which is so very common (the norm). Delawares have been so mixed and jumbled up by the factories they no longer represent the breed any longer just the same with most hatchery quality stock they have the patterns and colors down pat and also the egg laying skills are superb, but the intended qualities are lacking severely. So therefore when we get done they will be as per their standard calls for. She is on her F3 generation with hers and they are looking awesome. I will be starting up my F2s this hatching season. I got along way to go still yet I'm going just a bit different route than she did but will end up with the same results just maybe a little less hatching (I hope) F2 results in a Delaware type (1 in 200) it takes a lot of time and eggs and FEED too LOL

Good morning! going to vote as soon as I get off work at 4 - had to come in early to open today.
The tallow trees & bradford pears are turning such pretty fall colors!

Starting to think about what to add to my flock - I'll be firing up my 'bator in January. That's not that far off! Do ya'll realize Thanksgiving is just around the corner?!

Definitely have to hatch some more heritage RIR's - wish I'd kept more from my hatch last year - love the size & color to them & their eggs are very nice, too!

He wants any pullets BUT he is an Old Tymer, so he is not into the "show" birds or fancy breeds. He prefers Barred Rocks but will buy RIR or Buffs. He just wants to be able to go out and pick eggs everyday.

Yes, I'm trying to decide what Toms will be dinner. They all are so handsome. I hate to eat any of them but someone has to take one for the team. Team Turkey!

Be on the look out for Halloween pumpkin leftovers. I picked up 20 last night to feed to my chickens. I will be picking up 15 more.

Next time you go to Petrus, check with the guy who works the "chicken counter" in the back - he lives not too far from us & he keeps chickens. I don't remember his name, sorry!

Are y'all getting pumpkins from stores that clearanced them after Halloween?

So I guess the pullet I have is out of the question since she has feathers on her feet
