The hen is not turkin, she is madagascar game. Like apples and oranges two totally differant animals

I agree. Totally different animals. Apples are meaner.

Buster I am tempted to tell you I would like to order some broilers with you. Then I look in my freezer & look at the 20+ I need to butcher this month & I am thinking maybe we have enough chicken already.

Coral I will be sure to bring the book & pattern to poops. I will try to set them aside now & put your name on them.

I will for sure post as I have guinea eggs, since hatching eggs will consume my house & life for the next couple of months.
Tonight we pulled 40 chicks out of the hatcher & some are still hatching. They came almost a day slower this time so I need to double check my temperatures. Thinking maybe something got bumped.

Where is Ksane?? Anybody know?

Thanks about the book and patterns. I'm looking forward to reading one and making the other. We have power surges and outages nearly every day. The power company blames in on wind, old wires, and phantoms. Sometimes the power is off for a minute. That's a long time. It can mean the temperature in my Sportsman drops one or two degrees. Is there any way for you to know if you've lost power? We have an alarm clock that resets to noon if we have an outage. It's helped me understand why some of my hatches are a day later than expected.

This blue NN has a much smaller comb then the next one, is it really a different comb type or is this one female? He/she is beautiful.

Oh I had no idea there were other chickens w/ naked necks then NN's.

Couple of blue asil stags about 2 months old.

I have one 8' table, some folding metal chairs, and some ice chests

I have a couple of folding tables and chairs plus a long roll of plastic tablecloth - it is a festive turquoise.

You have your turkins, your madagascar, your ganoi your showgirls and possible others I dont know about. The NN gene is dominant and has been stuck on many a differant chicken. .

My three bigger chickens that I got from Lisa yesterday are gone. Two are nowhere to be found. One was on the ground picked pretty clean. I thought I saw a hawk in the area yesterday and should have been more careful. Tonight we are putting chicken wire over the top of the chicken pen. This is a big blow to me. If I have this much trouble in town, what am I going to do if I move to the country? One of the bigger chickens were in the small coop and the rooster was in the big one. My other hen was in the small space under the coop hiding. If I keep losing chickens I may give this up. I feel like I'm starting over all the time.

I hate it every time I lose one. I sometimes wonder if I am cut out for chickens; me being so tender hearted and them being so vulnerable to so much. I am not giving up though - there is much more to gain than lose.
