Don't worry. Details are in the making. They have a big "RESERVED FOR CATRAY44" sign on them.

Okay enablers-
the doctor put me on stupid cholesterol medicine and wrote me out a script for Chantex..I cant get past the "may cause suicial thoughts and tendencies" in the warning.. uh, I really dont want to worry about that. So, if I post something off the wall- well, tell me to stop or something.

Now, thank you for the encouragement and the good wishes and the other happy things.

Back to the enabling-
nobody is giving me a breed to research. Big, lazy, friendly turkey...oh, quiet one. Mute turkey? hahahahahaha. Miss jayne- why dont you like, breed a mute one? Cross a turkey with a muscovy or something like that. You can do it!

keleka,
I almost thought I would hatch out more seramas- then I thought, "what would I do with the roos?" hahahahahaha...

encouragement coming up! you can do it! don't worry about the meds. it'll be great! woo hooo!

um, i'll get working on the mute turkeys asap!
it might have a really ugly head, i'm thinking.

i posted links to Bourbon Reds and Slates. they are quiet when nothing is stirring them up. i think in small numbers they would be more quiet, but i cannot guarantee it for sure.

you need a turkey. must have turkey. TURKEY. in fact, you need two turkeys....

HI! I'm a newbie to the chicken business......

CAT sent me here.....I was deperately trying to find the "michigan" section... thanks for the reply in the introduction Miss Jayne!!

I need chickens! 6 maybe? I just want pets that will lay eggs for 3 people!

you are so welcome! glad you're here!

6 layers will yield approx. 2-6 eggs a day, during peak season.

what breeds/crosses are you considering?

 

[miss_jayne]

Quote:
no pardon is necessary. i should have been more clear.

the chicks are 3 days up to 5 weeks.
started pullets 6-14 weeks.
POL's 15 weeks +.

EE's are Easter Eggers. called, incorrectly, Ameraucanas. gorgeous, good food to egg ratio.

RIR= Rhode Island Red

also, you don't need to buy a minimum. if you need more specifics, just shoot me a PM and i will respond within 24 hrs.

I need help in that direction!! I want friendly chickens for the grandkids, chickens that LOVE to lay eggs, and pretty....they need to be pretty!

Henderson's Chicken Chart

my personal favorites for friendly and good egg layers are (in no particular order):

Orpingtons
Australorps
Sussex
Plymouth Rocks
Any of the Sex-Links
i also love mutts!

Welcome CindyP-I love your name!

MJ you are getting a great list of breeds going! Good for you! I am a little jealous!

Big Russ is coming around last night he was asking how many ducks I am getting and how big of a house they are going to need! He was looking at how much lumber to buy! Woo Hoo!

Of course now with all the turkey talk, maybe I will have to add them to my wish list......I thought that chickens made turkeys sick? No?
