Just bought a gorgeous young Jersey Giant rooster from Rich Vaughn.

*doing the Snoopy Dance again*

Did you mean Robert? Or does he have a son named Rich who is also breeding them with him?

That is wonderful! Make sure you show them where the roost is when it gets time. They won't know where to go for a few days.

Robert's son Rich lives in Omaha. When Robert heads back after a show in Modesto he's bringing the rooster with him.

Someone has a Brinsea incubator for sale, one year old, I'm interested in it.

Nice! Sakatah Lake state park is right next to Waterville which is a beautiful wooded park if you are into winter hiking or cross country skiing. would be worth the stop

@lalaland, I was told 90% of all flocks are now exposed to Marek's by the poultry researcher at the U of M. He had some very interesting insight on mareks. What do you do for your biosecurity? Always trying to learn tips. Yes, I didn't want that guy near my coop. I think his issue was most likely worms or cocci though. The way he explained how he was doing stuff, yikes. I told him it's easy to treat birds, you just have to do it. So here was a thought I had, can you spray Lysol or other hard stuff on shoes to kill viruses and eggs? I know soaking garden equipment in it kills plant viruses, etc... but I know this is a bit different. Plus it might be awkward telling people you are going to spray their shoes. I also though about those junky shoe covers that you slip over your shoes to keep carpet and stuff clean, that might be a measure of protection. Still funny to tell someone to put them on, but- ounce of prevention, pound of cure scenario.

I'm happy to offer my place for a get together also!! I'm in Farmington though, not exactly centrally located... but not terrible either. I'd be happy to provide a meal too!

Cyrus's gals roosted all on their own. A few queen hen tiffs but mostly calm.

Very pretty hens. Glad they got another good home.

Got some pics today and yesterday and thought I would share.


Lol my Muscovy drake is in love with this CX hen. He sleeps right in this same spot with her EVERY night. He is such a sweet drake. Even to the chicken ladies.
