LOL, I just got six more chicks and three turkey chicks.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Have not been around much lately. Got an update of my birds I gave away a while back. That nasty ole rooster I had was really mean. The first night he was in the new place, the folks I gave my birds to put my birds in a different coop from the birds they already owned. The coops did not have tops on them. My ole rooster, Sugar Ray, flew out of his coop into the other coop and beat the crap out of their rooster. Dang near kill their rooster and almost pecked his eye out.
The next night, they snatched Sugar off the roost and cut his spurs off. The next night, they snatched him off the roost and clipped one of his wings so he could not fly out again. Have not heard any more but the last word I got the guy said one of the roosters had to go...Sugar may have gone in the cook pot by now.
Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

you gotta get some more chickens Maggie.....
5 of my 6 new chicks are doing good, one is much smaller than the others but holding on. Moved em to my banty cages in the coop.
Got another turkey, so have four now, all doing well. Out in the shop now with a heat lamp.

Just a curiosity question... If you were to get rid of your current flock and start over, which breeds would you choose? And how would you distribute the different breeds in your flock? I have had just about all of the most popular breeds of chickens over the years. I got my current birds, the Sapphire Gem and the Calico Princess, last year in April. Both are new breeds to the USA that were developed in the Czech Republic, both are brown egg layers and both are a moderately sized bird. They are not flighty birds at all, very quiet and docile. They may be the prettiest birds I have ever owned and they are the most proficient egg layers for sure that I have ever owned! They consistently lay large brown eggs with many of them being double yolked. Have even had a few triple yolked eggs. I have 5 hens of each of these two breeds and 1 Sapphire Gem rooster. I may never own another breed of chicken after having these. Hands down, the best I've ever owned! https://hoovershatchery.com/sapphiregem.htmlhttps://hoovershatchery.com/calicoprincess.htmlcalled and never got a answer or call back

The sapphire gems came in today , very cute I lost only one bird that I purchased from Hoover Hatchery. Danged ol' chicken snake wrapped it up and killed it. Keep them warm, fed and watered and they will do great.

I had some bourbon reds many years ago...don't remember anything particularly good or bad about them. More recently, I had some royal palms...bigger birds, and much prettier, and they're a heritage breed.

D o A, their is a couple over in GA we got our pygmy goats from and they had the Royal Palms and Bourbon Reds. I remember reading they are both, along with 5-6 more breeds are Heritage breeds. It got me thinking people may pay for a nice heritage breed turkey 1-2 a year. They also had Birmingham Roller Pigions which were awesome to watch.
