Okies in the BYC The Original

On my last deployment, we had people from several different states that made up our company as a whole. When it got down to the end, everyone's true colors began to come out and a lot of people that I considered friends and comrades turned out to be lying, stealing little backstabbers. I did what I had to do to help them on their way and shut down several that were busy spreading poison around with rumors and lies. It's a nasty, ugly feeling to have to confront a "friend" that you would have previously trusted without a second thought over something that you would never have imagined them doing. Put people under a little bit of pressure and you find out who your friends are and who they aren't pretty quick.

It is actually a table that my sister got me for my birthday! I love it & can't wait to use it in my new house. Although it is almost to pretty to put anything on! If you want better pic's I will be glad to upload them.

She would probably like some silkies or some polish - something that is interesting to look at but totally worthless for anything but eye candy.

P&B, yep she would be happy with silkies or polish, or cochins or EEs, I would be happy with hens, I have enough roos as it is. One of these days I will tell her no, but its hard to when I can use her as an excuse to buy more.

I can totally relate to this, my DD is 12 & I am still doing it. I have more breeds than I know what to do with & mostly because she said "I want" so I would buy a few for her & a few for me. LOL.

My problem is that I always give her money at the auction so I end up with all kinds of birds.

Thank goodness she or I have never thought about that & we don't get to auctions very often! Oh boy would I be in trouble! Remind me not to sit by you when I attend an auction you are at, she might get idea's!

Yeah, after I stopped being mad about this one, I was just sad.

Buster, check out this place. They are doing things just a tad different with meat birds. These birds are better suited for a pastured operation like yours is.

Do you want chicks? I've got a great variety hatching this week.

Oh I am covered up on chicks, ducklings, and poults, I may be a pushover with my daughter but more chicks I cant deal with. I would like for them to at least be feathered out if not point of lay, would make it much easier on me.

Okay, I understand! I sent you a PM

Huh. And they just happen to breed NNs. Imagine that.

Actually, that is one of the breeder operations I have been considering testing. I may give them a try now that you recommend them. Are those the NNs with genetics from the label rouge program in France? Those are supposed to have the best taste. I've been trying to track those things down, but when I ask people who raise them where they got them they just clam up.
