Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

good evening,, yeah Dan, I figured you would know something about n== I mean springs..

I don't know who he bought the chickens from, but if I had to guess, I would say it was from a woman (or two) from up in your vicinity , eh , Stacy ?

the new lock works great on the chicken coop door..

Today I did not hear a peep from any of the people who were interested in the puppies..

Now that winter is over, we are going to get hit with some of that early spring weather.. then I suppose it will be followed by a hot and dry summer ..

I am going to make a jig for making seed tapes.. If it works, I will pass the info on to you..

Oh no, if you're talking about the breeder that I think you are, I just heard someone say the same thing about their BLRW from him.

If it's Hudson then yes! Next time I go over I'll ask to take some pictures. Worst representation I've seen yet of them.

Thanks Dan, both roos and hens hat them.

Jim not it wasn't the sisters. It was a him.

He did say someone is selling BLRW from River Falls now but after the bad experience in Hudson he didn't want to make another bust of a trip on chicks as they were charging more that the others for them. He purchased his 2 summers ago as chicks and hatched chicks last year from those but all were bust with multiple faults.

I was referring to him. But those sisters . . . Don't get me started. They are the ones I got in a fight over the phone with recently. The guy that physically threatened me.

Hi everyone,

Terri, what is this world coming to.. instant hatches ? instant gratification,, no wonder there are so many impatient drivers on the road.. nobody is taught to have to wait anymore..

Just take those kids a video of the life of an egg in an incubator and let them see the whole 3 weeks in a 15 minute session..

maybe that is the trouble with so many people on byc who can't stand to wait for their eggs to hatch. ??

I had to turn away two women with eggs to hatch.. I told them to come back in about a month..

I am going to move my whole hatching operation into the guinea coop.. less mess in the house..

I will have to snag a couple of strong backs for the move.. I am still restricted to lifting less than 10 pounds for another month..

I put a new lock on the chicken coop door today.. guess what,, it is COLD outside ..
next summer I am going to take that door out and rebuild the jamb ..and pour a concrete sill under the door ..

I have to rebuild the pop door also.. make is so I do not have to go inside the fence to open it..

Mel, if you want cheap rabbits, go to the swaps and and small animal auctions.. they practically give them away..

I think the baby bunnies would fit through your grinder without having to cut them into chunks first .

I wish the rabbits around here could be eaten..I would love to feed them to the dogs..

I met a new chicken lover today, grandson to the farmer my son is milking for. I had to stop and meet him as they were bragging up his colorful chickens at the farm. He opened his coop full of BLRW, over 20 for sure. Well after much discussion I find out they were purchased from same person I nearly bought chicks from a while back, glad I held off. All broken lacing and many barely had any blue on them, split breasts, cross-beak and most had combs with a nipple on top side(not sure of term) brassy colored necks(hens and roos). He's quite disappointed as I would and is very interested in some.of my chicks if they come out nice. I told him I was just starting with a new group and had to do some testing first. I don't want to sell chicks with so many faults.

great animal husbandry practices!

Is that the guy on craigslist with the hen with the split breast? Otherwise she looked good. But then I thought I had seen that picture on the web. And wondered if they were his birds pics or not...

Dan, I didn't know you were a marans guy actually don't know much about you! What all birds do you have? I just found a marans rooster tonight. From the small amount of research I have done, he looks ok to me.
Do any of you know the name of the breeder that supplies marans to purely poultry? Yr hat is the breeder of this bird. I am curious to know the name. Just to do some research.
Thanks in advance!

Jim not it wasn't the sisters. It was a him.

12 hour days will do that to a person..do you get at least 8 hours of sleep?

 

[Sclark73]

Yes it was Melanie and it shows in nearly all the offspring. I guess I was just astonished to see so many with faults.

I guess I shouldn't say this. There are 2 sets of sisters in the area with "hatcheries". Jim may not be referring to the ones that have been causing problems with people I know.

I wish! I will sleep later

Thank you. Now I know to stop considering making that trip for expensive birds. I will just grow out what I have here. And say a prayer! Lol! Actually just got done locking the last of ellis' s eggs from before ahe went broody :'( I did break her brood. But she is still not laying. So I decided to give her freedom back. She is happy.
