Hello & Welcome from North Central PA, Clinton County:frow

I think @fangedknight summed up the whole GMO thing well, maybe someone has organic-bred/fed chicks & pullets?
Lots of Peeps here are raising/breeding *Heritage breeds, that are bred to "SOP", (breed specific standards)...just like standards for pure bred dog.
That pretty much means that they are not a "mixed" breed, they are bred to be true...if that is more of what you are looking for too.

To all the new peeps here, glad you are here & hope you stay awhile. There is sooo much to learn...something new everyday for sure!!:yesss:
The characters here...:bun I mean enablers..:oops:oh boy, I mean awesome folks:love here will go above & beyond to help out:highfive:.
They'll answer questions and if they don't know, we probably know of someone who does:old.
This is truly one of the nicest threads going!
 
Still on baby watch 2019. Nugget is late, just like his/her daddy was. Think they may be inducing today. We will be flying out in March sometime. Gives me time to finish the blanket I'm making.

Hello to (gah, can't remember who) whomever has the brother in Jersey Shore. We're about 5 miles out - before they 911 readdressed the county, our address was JS.

Clyde has found his crow. But, either he's shooting blanks or he hasn't taken a fancy to Jaebels. Hers is the only egg I've checked for fertility. Rory and Colleen are the only two others laying. Getting about an egg a day. The two Lavs that hatched along with Clyde have not yet started.

Fenris has a very very high prey drive. He grabbed Cate right in front of me. It is the second time he got her. So, since she survived him twice, I think maybe she won't go in the pot as I had planned. Not exactly farmer mentality but hey. I am not a farmer.

Durn it, Nugget, GET OUT HERE!
 
Anyone up on their Dr. Seuss references?
“When beetles battle beetles in a puddle paddle battle
and the beetle battle puddle is a puddle in a bottle...
...they call this a tweetle beetle bottle puddle paddle battle muddle.”

So what is it called when quail are in the bottle?

I've missed this group... can't even remember the last time I logged in here :(
We had a bad season last year with a smart raccoon. Lost more than half of our flock of chickens and 7 out of 10 turkeys. Re-building this year... with electric around the runs and the tractor (haven't quite figured out how to do that yet). May revive the cross-PA chicken train as I try to re-establish my flock this year.

:hugs I know that is traumatic.
You did not mention your ducks or your quail though. :idunno Are they okay? You probably need some regardless. You cannot have chickens and turkeys, and forget the others that come with them!!
