Here is a cockerel I hatched from some birds I got from Matt last winter. There are so many handsome birds on this thread. I'm sure he doesn't stack up compared to them but just would like some input on what other think. He didn't want to pose. What about him do you think won't "STACK UP"? I personally think he is a fine looking bird!!

Well, I did it again. lol I am hoping that there are enough little pullets in here that I can build up my little flock of RC's. These are out of the Underwood RC's that I've been showing pictures of. I know there only babies BUT they are mine and I love them. ha,ha Quit laughing sgribble. We all know how quick things can happen to our birds and with only the 5 RC I'm glad I have these coming on. I offered them to a couple of folks that were on waiting list but they didn't or couldn't take them right now and I am really happy that they didn't.

LOL. Actually, been kicking around the idea of local chicken delivery hubs. Like UPS but just for birds, or maybe other small animals. My hubby and I ran teams for a crazy 6mos years ago, so I know the distance that can be covered with multiple stops in one day's travel. As expensive as it is to ship, what if you knew the 'carrier' actually gave a hootenany about your birds? :) It's probably years out as an idea, but it really bothers me when people say how few eggs hatched, or how few chicks survived. Ridiculous.

In all seriousness, I'm surprised that there isn't someone that jumped onto this. When I showed horses, there are a few companies that will deliver them. I was very impressed when I had a horse delivered from Texas to Pa. Price really wasn't that bad either compared to what it would have cost me to make the trip myself. They would schedule enough where they had 4 or 5 horses and pulled a 6 horse trailer and did a fine job. I think this would be great and you figure if we had a vehicle that wasn't hard on gas, it doesn't seem like this would be such a hard thing. The breeders in different states would have to get together and set up hatching times and the chicks might be a few more days old when they arrived at buyers but Heck, they would be taken care of better on the trip. lol Who knows, maybe I'll check into this a little deeper. ha,ha,ha Like I don't have enough on my plate right now. It might be kind of nice to get to see the country.
