Surviving Minnesota!

My first load of chicks comes tomorrow morning!

That probably means they are hatching right now!!

My first load of chicks comes tomorrow morning!

Good luck on them!

All CX's or mixed?

I think I am going to pass on CX's this year. Judy really does not want me to get any. As much as I like having them, they do tie me down so I cannot go to the cabin. They cannot be left with a gob of feed and water for couple days like other chickens can.

see fellow banana belters. The weather on channel 5 just sai4d that there will be snow - staying south of 694 Does not include Anoka, Sherburne or wright county. The south - south of the Minnesota River has a potential of 6"

That is so much better!!

I was wondering how they thought we could get snow here in the Banana belt?

I plant Pineapples on good Friday every year.

Either way, tomorrow will be a good day for me to stay home and hang out with my pups and my new chicks!

Ralphie, I think that your Cream Legbar rooster is shooting the wrong type of bullets? If this continues you will have a bumper crop of light weight fryers this year and not need any CX. The little guys should be good smoked?

Ralphie, I forgot to inquire if you knew what Greenfire Farms was charging for their Cream Legbar chicks? Just in case you don't I will tell you. $19 for male chicks and $29 for female chicks. Have a nice day!

Thanks..
I knew most places were charging around 30 bucks for hens, I thought 15 for roosters. I have been selling roosters for 5, except to those on here I have given them too...and Hens I am now at 15.

Did you see what they are charging for the white sports? I never thought to check Greenfire itself, I checked other places.


I had another egg hatch while I was out. Another BOY!!!


However, in Birds it is the female that controls the sex unlike in mammals. The male gives Z gene and the female a W or Z gene. Males are ZZ female WZ.. Unless I have the letters backwards.

The odds of 16 males to 3 females has got to be up there. I am thinking of getting a lottery ticket today.





BTW How many light weight fryers do you want EJB? I have about 50 to pick from.
