Didn't we hear this same bedtime story last Spring? I seem to recall that we suggested the chicken man decide which breeds were his FAVORITES and then resist any temptation to add more.

Of course, if this chicken man has the space, he could always allow the non-affiliated roosters just to wander around the yard as eye candy and entertainment.

If I had to guess it would probably either be the Ohio Nationals or that other big show up in the N.E. around Ny state. If it was recently I would say it was a Silkie from Hattrick Silkies, I have seen their eggs on Eggbid sell for hundreds of dollars and their birds go for just a tad over a thousand. For youngsters.

Well I think this is going to shape up to be a pretty nice weekend, I am with Al I want a uneventful weekend sitting around watching the chickens peck!!! The only thing that we have planned for the weekend is going to a livestock auction and hopefully getting rid of some more birds and break down and have more organized flock as far as breeds instead of having a rainbow of chickens!!!

Did you ever see the Little House where they got typhoid from the rats?? That was the scariest thing....

I did! Grossed me out when they opened the doors to the storage area and they were crawling all over everything! YUCK!

Good morning AL
I agree, an "uneventful" weekend would be welcome. POOPS was wonderful, but I sure needed a nap on Sunday afternoon.

I wonder what the initial exposure is that causes typhoid? The rats had to get it from somewhere. Of course, typhoid is one of the things tested for in the NPIP testing and I think in birds it is carried by migrant waterfowl.

Al I dont know what the heck I am thinking!!! There is a little giant incubator with turner for $70 but I am not real sure on the little giant havnt heard much about them! Any opinions on this!!!

I am gonna be looking for a black and a white silkie roo but I will settle for one or the other lool

Whatever you do, do not buy that LG I have heard so many Horror stories from them, they are Chinese made!!! enough said. between me and KC we could design you a super duper one for pretty cheap that will hatch a bunch. I can get the AL-A-Bator cabinets for a song. and you saw all the cool parts KC can get. Just think about that before you jump to the LG.

AL

Al, would you be willing to share the plans on the incubators with my husband and I? We are kicking around the idea of having one--we just love these chickens!
