After over 30 breeds, I'm now devoted to Black Penedesencas. I still have a lone Ameraucana who hatched in 2009 who's a great hen laying daily. She survived 2 dog attacks and a raccoon attack where she got chewed up pretty badly. She usually raises a brood of chicks every year.
I'm hatching some of her eggs to get some olive eggers. I'm only keeping a couple and selling the rest.
I only have the time, space and facilities to do justice to one breed.

This is the first year I haven't had a broody. I think it is the plastic nest pads I'm currently using.

Pretty birds.

We just have a small mixed flock. I have too many projects going to dedicate to breeding, not to mentioni lack the facilities.

I havebeen broody busting all spring. Maybe i need your nestpads. Ive got another one trying that i noticed yesterday. I let two brood so i have 6- 6 week old and a crazy broody with 5-2 week olds. Shehas decided the duck is a threat to her babiesso ivehad to seperateher.

I think I'm going to an event Saturday at Gateway Greening's Bell Demonstration Garden where Purina Animal Nutrition Specialist Gordon Ballam will be speaking and answering questions.
If anyone has any specific nutrition questions they'd like me to ask, let me know.

CC, you could ask if they have or are planning on making some sort of feeds aimed at backyard flocks. Something designed not to boost productivity, but to ensure longevity instead.
