Is that a Chanticler rooster?

Yep.

 

[duluthralphie]

Yep.

I don’t believe you got breeding rights from his owner.

No @ejb3810 today? Perhaps he jinxed himself when saying he hadn’t been in the hospital for awhile? Hopefully not. We need his ancient wisdom

Chooks, that Partridge Chantecler rooster is quite a looker.
Holm's, just remember " he who shall, so shall he who", and you can never go wrong.
Ralphie, how goes the battle ? Are you well on the mend or in for a prolonged recovery period ?
I anticipate the weather in the Mn. Banana Belt is on the balmy side ? That will help one feel well in itself.
This Christmas season seems to have many of the female contributors to this thread preoccupied with other activities ?

I am alive but suffering.. read turkey thread for details on my set back...

judy informed me of two bad things in my Chanticler pen... I have an egg eater and a blue egg layer.

I thought I had gotten rid of the egg eater and the blue egg laying Chanticler.... now I have to figure out which one it is...ever since Princess won as a pullet then started laying blue eggs... before deciding she wanted to move to @erlibrd ’s house...I have been extra careful to eliminate the blue egg laying chantuclers. Anyone else want a blue egg laying chanticler?...I assure you it is impossible to tell them from the brown egg laying ones and the pencilling is second to none.... I really do not need to be laid up with this problem to fix....Holms transfer to the Elk River Menards and stay here.. I need your help and expertise.

Btw I am thinking the incident I described in the turkey thread will set my plans of ice fishing this week back a tad... You younger ones should look at me as an example of a reason why you should stop aging now..

Ralphie, based on that narrative in the Turkey thread I wonder if you should trade the turkeys for Mandarin dux ? I believe they would be less likely to act as Kamikazzie projectiles ? They would definitely not be as heavy and thus a less damaging impact would result.

There goes my next three pay checks. Purebred angus heifer. 814lbs. Pretty excited. Will have to get decent pictures when she settles down.

Looks pretty good Holm's, but I am partial to Red Angus.

I think I’m gonna breed her to a Simmental bull... Not sure yet. Kinda tossing around a few bulls.
