That fox comes near my flock, I'll shoot it myself!
Toying with the idea of getting some nice Dels to breed myself. Or maybe some bantam Brown Leghorns.
I hadn't seen this and trylin mentioned it today. That you were slamming me. If you want these leghorns I've posted them on CL so I guess you didn't really want them. The hen has white legs and of the two chicks the roo has a single comb. She hasn't laid an egg since she hatched the chicks. Which is why I've been trying to hatch every egg she's laid. Lord only knows what that guy pawned off at the conference.
As for the Dels? Knock yourself out. They are harder than orps in that you've got pattern and type to deal with. I might have three hens to breed with out of all the ones I've hatched out. None of the roos was any good and they are in the freezer. I will say they averaged 5#'s dressed. I don't know if that's good or bad. I will be hatching and saving and culling next spring if I'm still alive and living here.
Now because I am your friend, I remembered your son wanted pigeons and I was at my brother who used to have them and his friend was there and he still has them so I'll pm his name and address. If he doesn't have what your son wants I've no doubt he can hook you up.
Now for the passed two nights the rabbits have been out. One of which has been playing tag with the chickens. It was funny to see the chickens chasing "Peter" around the yard. I do hope the foxes stay away.
