Thanks Debbie and Don;
And you are totally correct when you say it is a way for someone to make a ton of money
And take control of what we do on our own little farms

Your kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?

eta: the longer I sit here and think about this particular situation the more absolutely disgusted I get. This is a perfect example of idiocracy. ok....I'm done as well because I know better than to get myself started on this kind of stuff.....once I start it is very hard for me to reel myself back in.

These groups should add a provision for foreign breeds of poultry to make them more comfortable:

CODE BS 101: "All and any owners of foreign type breeds, shall mandatorily speak the birds natural language. French breed owners will be required to speak French at all times to their birds, for their pyscological health."

OK, I'm done!

I thought that I would post some pictures of the pullet that I got from Pink, she is a Gnarles daughter. I have been unable to get any good pictures of her standing up, because they run from me, which is difficult on 12 acres, so I had to wait until she had gone to bed for the night. Her copper is still coming in. She is about 5 1/2 months now, and STILL no eggs!

and here is a head shot of the Gnarles son, he is not done molting and is in no shape to take a body picture of!

That HAS to be a joke, right? Well, my Marans are SOL.

Don - I cannot believe the Sebastapol story - holy cannoli! Yes - I believe I have now heard it all.

What the heck is going on with this gal....no eggs yet? Her sisters that I kept from that same hatch are all laying, does she need a pep talk call from her sisters?

Yep me thinks your boy is going to look just like his daddy.

chasehope - She's a pretty girl! I can see it in her eyes, she's thinking about laying for you soon

You must post a pic of your Gnarles boy when he puts his clothes back on!
