RG, GQ, Christine, Iain, now all we need is Psue!! We almost had a chat going on here!

Did someone say bacon? Hmmm.. Oh, hey RG, my step dad hit one of moms peacocks last week, and since she didn't want to waste it, they ate it. She baked it in a browning bag with 2 cans of beer poured over it. I guess it was delicious.

I'm thinking about plugging in my bator. Another lady here in KS has EMU EGGS!

Boo!

everyone.......... Marty I wonder if Jerry's had peacock...... I know he'd try it if it was cooked for him

Emu eggs? Is this emu thing becoming contagious? I hear they take 55 days or some such thing!

Boo!

I've heard peafowl is tasty! I don't know if I could eat something so attractive.

I'd have emus! I wouldn't mind a pair, once I get a bigger place with a barn. I don't imagine a fox could take one of those on me

Also, where can I find the APA Standard of Perfection for Welsh Harlequins? All my new guys, including the babies on the way, are the descendants of holderread birds, so I think I might start seriously breeding them. I know that the APA sells a book, but I really hate to spend $59 on a book I'll be using four pages of. Perhaps my library might have it? Although I doubt it...

River, it was great catching up with you last night. I'm thinking of you this morning.

Hi everyone

Yes, emu do take a long hatch, but as somebody said, they are a little more preditor resistant. They can kick the bum of friend and foe alike.

Hiya eyeheart! hows the quail? I gave up on mine, and the rest got killed by a cat.

The APA SOP is pricy. You could check eBay or Amazon. I think Holderread's sells a Welsh Harlequin breed pamphlet. I haven't read that one, but I got a lot of good info from his Ancona pamphlet. The breed pamphlets are only a couple bucks each. Not the same thing as the SOP, but a good place to start.

Jerry arranged to buy hatching eggs on the 1st

Buckeye Chickens and I'm getting 15 Icelantics eggs to hatch along with them.
Maybe the geese and ducks will be laying better by then.
Oh and I'm breeding the rabbits

then also so well have bunches of babies around here in March
