Quote: the average broad breasted has to be artificially inseminated.. no naturally breeding with most strains of them.. so I only have heritage birds laying right now..

I am going to TRY to get a few broad breasted that I can work with and with any luck if I can regulate their feed.. i MIGHT be able to get breeder birds out of them.. time will tell..


but for this year if you want broad breasted you might have to go to the feed store if you only want a few.

Got myself on the map! Yay! But I am sad, there are no dots anywhere near me.... My poor little dot is all alone.

But good news! After I made that post about trying to do the map I went outside to cheer myself up. I took popcorn to the chickens for a treat and I got to be there to witness my little barred rock hen lay her first egg!

congrats!

anyone have silkie sin with their standard size hens? Or mille fleurs? I heard silkies can do ok... Just wanted to check. I am curious if I will have to make another pen for them. I was going to get silkies to be my brood mothers. Anyone know how broody faverolles are?

Oh. I wonder if he could tell the difference. Lol. I didn't see any turkeys at the feed store I went to, when do they have turkeys usually?

we have a green cheek conure.. and an african grey parrot.

the african grey is our favorite "family member".. you just can't call him a pet.. he would have to make a rude comment about being called an 'animal"...

he contributes to conversations.. makes up his own jokes.. and demands certain shows on his favorite "toy".. the TV
and he also yells at the dogs.. and is the speech therapist for the conure
