Sounds to me that you already have it going on, I mean water, food, a dry and warm place to live and good parent stock... The rest is pretty much in natures hands. If you do everything that you can and they still don't make then it was meant to be. Just saying !,

Good luck with your little ones

Thanks Don . I was just wondering if i should be giving them anything extra like vitamins or anything.. i got these from a local hatchery so not sure about the parent stock but i do hope to get some different laying breeds from some of you good folks on here that have some great parent stock . i have been learning from here that hatchery chicks are not close to getting them from breeders. i am looking to either buy or make a bator so i can get some eggs from the folks here so i will have some good stock..thanks

Glad he will get to go after all! I know they have fun doing it. I hope Lil'Sooner can hang on to second in her county & third in the quad. I know she is excited about it. We are starting to work on her record book now so we will be ahead when they are due.

Evening everybody.................. I trust Ya'll's day has gone well. My hatch is over and I will clean & sterilize the bator tomorrow, replace a thermostat and load it back up with over 80 more Cornish egg's. Last hatch was good only 2 that didn't make it out of 25, so not bad. What's everyone up to tonight.

So where does lil Sooner stand? how many points does she need? Do you need or want to borrow a few birds for the next show to push her over the top? I'm willing to loan some ringers out for the cause. We can really stack the deck for her. I can think of several here that are in great shape, easily handled, and will place at any level of competition.

See my post above for where she stands, not bad considering. I thank you for the offer to push her over the top

but I will let her continue as she wants to. She picks what birds she takes each time & it's hard for me not to say anything because she doesn't always take the known winners. LOL.

Well lets see Al. my wind generator made in from Australia today now waiting for it clear customs, made a killer deal on very good feed I will tell you about if you call, and got bored so started writing an article on internal and external poultry parasites and control.

I have no idea what I'm going to do tommorow now. but I am sure it will be just as productive.

You know I am sure a lot of the fellow okies have great stock, my belief is that not all chicks that are hatched from show stock are going to become show stock..and that not all hatchery stock are bad..you get what you can afford.
Most chickens are just that chickens..if you like them that should be all that matters, over the years I have all kinds. I like the pretty ones
And the ones that lay good eggs on a daily bases..
I believe that most of the hatcheries get they eggs from breeders as it would be really hard for them to have so many breeds of they own.
You know like sub contractors they buy the eggs hatch them and then sell the chicks, so I would say all by chickens are breeder stock.
I hope you get my drift and the I don't made anyone else mad at me. All of the above is just my opinion

Well congratulate her for me she is doing great, and if she wants to show something different don't hesitate to call.
