I have some mighty fine culls running around lol! My Buckeyes weren't culls but I have a certain Dom Cockerel that was and he shaped up to be a pretty darn good bird!

Do you have a picture of him in last few days?

Scoping out the competition?

I am going to have to file a chicken rustler having taken my DOM. I will demand DNA test to prove it is one of mine.

Box elder buds and Asian beetles are thick . I use cyper eight to control them . cypermethrin is the ingredient . Check online if you can not find it local .

Can it be used indoors? That's where most of my Asian beetles can be found... Just within the past day or so.

I use it outside but I did see mention of indoor use on the label . It is pricey at $24.00 for 4 ounces of concentrate . Makes 8 gallons . I mix one gallon at a time .

Personally if I were to start over I would go find a breeder and buy chicks instead of a Hatchery. In all reality you do t really get a breed when you buy from a hatchery. Nothing you get is even close to a standard and so far away from its breeds standard in weight and confirmation that I do t think you could even consider a breed. Like my New hanps from Meyer look nothing like Minnie's New Hamps? If I saw the by each other I would never think they were the same breed.

Some of you may think I sounds crazy but I am starting to see the benefits from buying from local breeders that breed to the standard. The birds just look so much nicer and I am a lot happier with those birds over my hatchery birds.

I agree with you 100$. There are days when I wish I had started out with just SQ cochins. Rather then having Chanteclers and EEs, and now have to try and get room for egg layers and cochins. Also you get better birds, and the people are willing to talk to you and give you advice.
@ChickMN if you do order from a hatchery I reccomend McMurray Murray. I order 45 chicks from them this spring, and 20 last spring, I bought all pullets and ended up with all pullets, and no DOAs. Also they have decent quality birds for a hatchery

Thanks you guys! I had heard McMurray Murray was the place to order from but I was thinking there was a 25 chick minimum for orders. Others have brought up a good point on breeders vs hatcheries. I knew nothing about the difference but just did some prelim reading. I don't plan to show any and are primarily interested in the egg laying (in addition to docile nature as they will be pets for our 3 little munchkins....all under 5 yrs old).
