Ive gave away most all the mutts I hatched this year and wouldnt you know I gave 49 away to a coworkers dad who lost most his flock to dogs just before that, and almost all of them turned out to be hens. If I kept them myself it would of been mostly Roosters. Of course those roosters sure are nice to look at. And it cracks me up when there crowing at 3-4am.

I imagine that Evan will start showing in the spring. He has too many irons in the fire to even consider showing right now. And now, he is looking for his first trio of Red Pyle oegb. I guess I'd better start planning some more pens.

Those of you who have spouses who don't object to your chicken fanaticism, what's your secret? Is there a chicken voo-doo chant to help them convert? I'm going to have eggs hatching just before Christmas, and I'm already hearing DH clearing his throat each time he walks past the room where the baters are. If he's allergic to hatching eggs, I'm Mary Queen of Scotts.

I dont know of any voo-doo chants but all it took for my DW was a trip to POOPS and she has been hooked every since!!!

Do you want the feet too? LOL

The feet are not too bad of eating actually, just work with not too much meat.

Monty,

I saw a list somewhere, but I've blinked since then and forgot where I saw it. I know that a Dark Cornish won it all. I think it was from LA, or TX.

My DH has always been pretty supportive of whatever I do. As far as the chickens go, he loves fresh eggs. I never thought I'd see the day that he would get so excited about an stupid egg! I can't tell you how many times I've caught him down at the henhouse, just watching them (chicken tv?) and listening to the happy sounds they make. Since his stroke, chickens are pretty mucht he only livestock he can safely take care of on his own. The goats are a bit too rowdy, and the horses could really hurt him without meaning too if they spooked or got silly.

Needless to say, he's planning on jury rigging the grandkids old playpen into a makeshift brooder so we can get some babies in a couple of months. Our henhouse is plenty big enough for our needs, but we need to build a run so they can go outside. He refuses to go to Lowe's or Home Depot and pay their prices for lumber, so on nice days, he and his father are happily searching junk piles and salvage yards for posts and materials. Our pen will look gawdawful, I'm sure, but it will hold the hens just fine.

We don't plan on showing anything so we are happy with mutts. 8-year old grandson and 5-year old granddaughter got the bug, though! We went to the Shawnee show since it was so close to home. They each picked out breeds they were interested in. They will be researching their chosen breeds, and will help PoPo build coops to house them, when they've saved up enough $$! Grandson has come over every day after school to help PoPo with the chickens and is always asking what chores need doing and how much will we pay him!
