I am turning away from pure breed chickens in favor of backyard birds. By a couple of generations of unselective breeding of random stock, I now have jubilee and cuckoo Cochin-Brahma-caunas. These should be nice big dual purpose birds, with the second purpose more as broody than layer. They should be good slow growing meat birds, though!

This thread is how my brain works, with random dashes in all directions. I work full time at home doing complex telephony system engineering projects, and dip back in here to wash my brain cells quite often.

It definitely goes in all directions. It's adult ADD in the highest form...lol

I think I do like the idea of mixes as I have one coop. I don't want to have separate pens with separate roosters, sort, collect, label eggs and compare and remove chickens to follow SOPs. I really don't have time for that, I work full time. Add that stuff to my normal days and I would work double-full time. I have no plans on showing them, just eating some eggs and having pretty looking chickens. And if I can recoup some costs with their eggs or babies, I'll do that too.



Or they slowly back out without a word and call the 'special' doctors with the comfy couches. "Tell me, how does that make you feel...?"

That's about my philosophy, and they are so fun!

One of those "Drs" walk inthis thread and they will be bringing straight jackets rather than comfy couches...lol I know the first one they will be hauling out too.....lol

I don't consider it adult ADD. It is advanced mental multi-tasking.

Oh look, a shiny!

Today is actually hatch day for me. I lost my first chick to pip yesterday. It pipped on the wrong side of the egg and rightn into a vein and i am pretty sure it drown. But im not going to complain it is the first chick i have lost that i hatched. At 10 38 last night i watched one hatch and it lived!! And at 5 48 this morning i watched another hatch. And after that anoth hatched but i didn't see it. I now have 16 pipped and 20 more to go!!

YEA!!!!!!!!

I lost anoother chick in the shell. Pipped on the wrong side and died. I'm done hatching those eggs. Its legs and feet were deformed. It was weird

You say that like it's a bad thing. I trapped and shot a fox. When I rolled her over, she was obviously nursing. The way I look at it, that was at least 6 or seven taken out of hunting my ground
Don't feel sorry for this:

When it turns into this:

Unfortunately I do have to agree! As much as I love animals (wild) I love my chickens more. I mean we got rid of a dog because she dug underneath the wire and drug a chicken out so she could chase it and kill it. In my mind she had to go.
