I will enable your hatching addiction if you enable my chick addiction LOL.

does that make us co-dependent addicts? LOL

OK all you chicken addict going to the meet-up - who has Rhode Island Reds laying up a storm?

We have two seriously disturbed people in need of a fix?

I went out to his place and it was impressive. He has huge incubators and brooders. I think the Bresse are mostly for meat. "The best tasting chicken in the world" I'm more into the eggs from chickens than the meat. I have enough roosters to eat for the rest of my life. I'm putting one in the crock pot tonight and only 500 to go. You have to raise them just right for them to be so good. Part of the raising involves putting them in a cage and in the dark for and feeding them milk and grain for the last few weeks. I prefer my roosters have rooster lives and just one bad day. He also has Auracanas and Olandsk Dwarf.

I went to meet him today and pick up a pair of Bresse. It was like Chicken Disneyland! Super nice guy, clean setup, happy birds. SO MANY BRESSE.

I asked him to come on the 9th. I'm emailing him a link to this thread and asking him to list what he has available for sale in case anyone wants anything

I have to build a bator in between moving but what the heck, I like a challenge - and who needs sleep
