Tell me again why I went to work today? I want to go home and play with these guys!

Awww so sweet! Sorry y'all had a DOA. We were lucky enough not to with our last two shipments. I was dreading getting one.

So this is the little guy I think is a roo. He is also not afraid of me, my hand, or my camera! I have one other one with an obvious comb and very small tail feathers. The rest you can't see the comb. Anyhow, I hope I am right, and I have two roos!

If anyone is interested in a free, rumpless, BCM/Aracauana Roo, let me know! He hatched from a huge olive egg! Oh, and he's 2 months old.

Troyer is a great guy and has some really nice birds. I am glad you are getting them from a breeder and not frim a hatchery. All but one hatchery (that I know of) all get there Cubalayas from the same line and that line has a genetic heart defect. As far as showing them, you should know that Cubalayas are in the rebuilding stage and an actual show quality Cubalaya line does not exist outside of Sam Brush's line. Getting a show quality bird will be a long hual and be very a costly project.

update!!
I'm sure you were all just sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for the raccoon update....lol

My neighbor caught and shot 1

last night we finally received our trap, had to order because everyone in town was out, set it and caught a huge raccoon....
bagged it and plugged it into the tail pipe!!!

had an avocado tree to plant so we just dug a little deeper, buried the coon, added dirt, planted the tree!!

never thought I could kill anything in my 51 years...this didn't bother me much at all....it's them or my chicken family so I chooossseee......my chickens!!
