Q,

Are you hatching to keep or sell?

feeding the addiction is probably closer to the truth

Hi Everyone!

Looks like we made it home from the auction just in time before the rain hit. It is really coming down. I guess rain is better then snow and ice.
We got to the auction late, but still got to visit with most everyone and of course stuff our face with "Cake". Yummy!

Took home a beautiful blue ameraucana hen for a really good price. She is very beautiful and if I can ever get a white ameraucana rooster to put over her the chicks should be amazing.

Al do not listen to them, you were missed along with all our other BYCers that could not make it to the auction.

Well I have to brag on my man, again for killing that opossum last night. Especially considering it was his first time to ever (in his life) shoot a gun. That darn thing is responsible for quite a few of my birds deaths. So good ridence to the nasty thing.

Come the first week in April I am going to be totally set with birds. I have bourbon red turkey poults coming from three different hatcheries, so the bloodlines will be more diverse and not local. I have birchen and mottled cochins, sultans, salmon favorelles, millie fleur d'uccle and dark brahmas coming. Now I just got to get the other coop set up so I have a place for everyone.
Once I get all the chicks set and figure who is who, I will possibly be bring the extras to POOPS. Next week I am going to order my NPIP testing supplies to start testing my birds. I know, I know about time.

Life has just been very hectic and broke..

I have a question for those of you bird breeders. How long after I isolate a breeding group of birds should I wait before the eggs will be pure breed. If that makes since. As you all know my birds are all free range but I am going to set up temporary breeding pens to get pure breed eggs and chicks from those birds. Maybe I will use the first eggs as test eggs in the incubator.

This should be an exciting time this year getting my coops and pens set up. My flock is pretty good sized right now and I am getting ready to more then double my numbers.

Yeah!

I ain't got a boat...two of the things my dad taught me were...the second happiest day in a man's life is the day he gets a boat...the happiest is when he gets rid of said boat. he said all they do is cut a path in the water so you can throw money in them...he also told us to never let anyone stick anything in your back side type area...he was a little tired of being in the hospital
