In the same vein, I will be holding Turkey Tom Disassembling classes on the 29th. I will have practice roosters available for all that attend...and free coffee!

Are you planning on day tripping to the VWN or something anytime soon?

I have 3 that need to go now... or yesterday... or last week... that's how bad they are. But unfortunately border patrol won't let little old me through. Something about how I need to take a bath. Dummies.

I have found half chicks do not flourish very well, I prefer whole chicks myself.

Who woulda thought?

Are these half chicks like ralphies cats from holms that split into prices?

Kind of!

So these disassembling classes...should I bring kids to do the plucking? They are some very “willing” volunteers.

School let out at noon. The roads were icy, shlushy, and getting blown over. I was more worried that the creek would be over the bridges though!

7 chicks so far. I had one that was shrink wrapped yesterday, I was for sure it wouldn't make it but it did. These chicks are looking very nice so far, I am excited to watch them mature!

It is spring time-----as far as my young roosters are concerned.

I had to move Ed into the Chick pen. The young hoodlums were harassing him and had nipped off the back of his comb. Ed is just too kind to fight back. He seems to be safe in the chick pen.

It is amazing what he puts up with from the chicks. They are crawling all over him. pecking under his feathers, his beak and so on. He just takes it in stride.

Cuddles sat on my lap for a while today, he wanted out of the cage. I wish the weather would turn decent so I could get the cleaning done and make new larger pens for the SS and Doms.

The young cockerels had best start to behave. I do not really need them, and if they keep this bad behavior up, they will become models for the next disassembly class. Ed has rights to hang around, they have none. This includes Doorknob, AKA Knuckleheads brother.

I see the outside rooster have harassed one of the smaller white Legbar roosters to the point I might have to put it down. If I do have to put it down all the roosters in the pen shall suffer the same fate on the same day......

It is spring and I am short on patience regarding roosters and toms.

Ralphie, it is Spring and the male Hormones are in full function. Boys will be boys. Was one of them named Joe, and did he invite Donald out behind the gym ?

I have no Joe or Donald as of yet. I will work on them for next spring's bouts.

BTW, Boys may be Boys, but the freezer has room and demands to be filled....
