I never realized you were so close to me. I'm 10 minutes from the highland county line.

Are you going to the swap at Steven21's? Looking forward to putting faces to everyone!

What weekend is that again

I believe it is Sept 7th. Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but I think that is the last I read.

Woo hoo!

My extra BLRW cockerels were processed this morning as much as I hated to let them go for meat. I kept the sole pullet I hatched and one of the dark blue cockerels. I thought the pullet was black at first but I'm thinking she is a really dark blue now. I'm going to take some photos of the pair this weekend and see what everyone thinks.

Those boys better taste good considering what I paid for the eggs they came from plus feeding them for 16+ weeks!

Where did you get your cockerels processed? I have 4 buckeye cockerels that I'm going to have processed. A friend and I just took 106 freedom rangers up to a place above Dayton to be processed last week. I wasn't sure how many of my buckeyes were cockerels until this past weekend, or I would have taken them with the others. I roasted one of mine this past sunday and it was DELICIOUS! They were about 10 - 11 weeks old.

I have Troyer farms in Russellville do mine. They ate mennonites and extremely nice people. If you want their number I can PM it to you.

Quote: i have the same issue with buckeyes, probably 70-80% cockerels. do you have any extra hens?

I'm here in a suburb of Cleveland! :3

Anyone know of a place that will custom mix/mill feed around here? Having a pain in the rear finding anywhere to do it. D:

im planning on going, not sure what ill have. i did set some eggs today, and ill set some more in a couple days. im pretty sure ill have several pharaoh quail, several old english bantams - if you want a certain color let me know. i set several eggs from my other cochins, orpingtons, dominiques, silkies, white rocks, silver laced wyandottes both sets of cornish, but i have some white laced red reserved. unless i sell them before, i have some millie fleure d'uccles, and a few groups of bantams sorted i might bring. i will also bring eggs from a few days before the show, for anyone who wants to incubate. im hoping in the next group to set at least a few black copper french marans, and a few basque. and if seven21 wants them ill bring some ck's
