When you get things squared away with the health issues, and need something to hatch to replace excess losses to get restarted, shoot me a PM. Maybe by late fall or next spring I can have extra eggs comeing.

I could actually get interested in raising those bantam Cornish. Do they come in all colors? I wonder if they mature faster than the LF Cornish? My OEGBs seem to mature fairly quickly, as far as their size.
I'm sort of partial to little birds and little dogs, except my Doberman. I have large horses, though.

They do come in many APA recognized colors, and the show breeder I talked to said they are faster to mature than LF.

What a guy

I didn't get any results on Friday, and since it's a holiday weekend, I won't know anything until Tuesday. I need to learn patience!

When I was nearly totally wiped out this spring, I was helped out by several people, offered help by many more. I feel I owe something besides "Thanks!", and paying it forward may be the best means to pay them back.

Steve, I want to make it perfectly clear I was not calling Gary A BM!

I know what you mean, but never heard that phrase before, I like it.

About 25 years ago, I saw some kids broken down on the side of the road, so I stopped to see if I could help. I took the four of them home, we called the local garage, and I drove them over to pick up the parts. They wanted to pay me for my time, but I told them that they should look for ways to help others - pass it along.

About 4 years later, I broke down, on the same stretch of road, and a young couple stopped to help. I recognized the two from the four students from years before. They told me they had never forgotten what I had done for them.

I always thought that a little kindness could go a long way - "Pay it Forward", and perhaps we could grow a better world.

Sadly, the world has changed so much that it's often a danger to try and help people.

I like the folks here on BYC

Paying it Forward, or something simular to that, is actually the name of a very good old movie; and it's exactly about makeing the world a better place. It's also a spiitual principal I was taught long before that;, can't claim I do it enough though.

A couple of even younger DC cockerals than I posted before. I feel sort of blessed to have been given the opportunity to own them, I've been looking for quite awhile. I'm too inexperienced to be a good judge of them, but think they're pretty nice birds. I've been studying the APA's SOP, and if I am correct in my understanding, I believe for show purposes this to be a stronger male line than female [because of the male's color and some of the the female's laceing]. I'll have to wait untill their mothers finish molting, the juvies get their adult feather in, and I get bit more experienced to know. If the patterns are off a bit, I can always use the worst patterned, best bodied females to breed Whites; plus for meat and crossing into my meat project, color is irrelevant anyway.
