Like most I just moved to other things especially when they redid the site, and Sally's thread really died down. I have lost my red's mostly now. First I sold all my chicks one year, the next we got five inches of rain and some dumb hen took them out in the rain so they died, then I got a year...

Truly beautiful. :frow It has been a long time

If anyone e raising heritage rir near Joplin Missouri I need to replace my old hens. Well, really just get some young enough to hatch chick. I lost my roosters last winter and at past five my girls are too old

That is sad. A true loss. @radamsHi, keep in touch please. I have a couple of Fred's hens here near Joplin.

27 of the 29 from his group in the Bator were fertile. From five HRIR and two Barred Rocks.

Well, I hope you find out what it was and feel better soon. With the one I lost I only have five hens. I am going to leave them together for now and just try for numbers. I may seperate them later on.

Thank you. Do you have any incubating yet?

Yes, it is him. This guy just older.

My first hatch of the year goes into lockdown today. @Ur-ur-ur-urrr While he will never hold a candle to the beautiful guy you got from Matt my guy continues to grow. Just a note he is not downhill, but actually going down hill ;)

Paper towels are great for the first week just not newspaper. Then shavings will be fine. :celebrate your hatch.

@Ur-ur-ur-urrrSo did you ever finish the coop? How are the birds you got from Matt doing?

@Ur-ur-ur-urrr@cmom@Fred's Hens I set my first batch yesterday! This is a mixed group just for numbers after loosing my best pullet from my group. I will be separating my three from Fred's two for the next batch that I plan to do after these hatch. Good luck with your hatching this year!

Doubled.

My vet did a basic cut and look. Nothing obviously wrong (no organ issues) feed with a few bits if grass and leaves in her crop, but no sign of digestion for several days, and a total lack of body mass. I could not afford a full necropsy. I hope you get an answer to help your RSL. Happy New...

@cmomA happy and fruitful year with great birds and no wrecks to you

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone. @Fred's Hens@Ur-ur-ur-urrr I hope you guys are well. I hope your luck is better than mine. I just lost the best of my four pullets :hit . Your two are fine Fred. I have no idea what caused it. She was point of lay, but not laying so I could not even save her...

@Fred's Hens Well, I integrated your two in with the others when I condensed to two coops for the winter. They did well. Then yesterday after ten days when I unexpectedly got home with an hour of daylight to spare I opened the coop for some free ranging. They were a little intimidated, but...

:clap :celebrate Congratulations Fred and @Matt1616

buy some cheap used tires and keep your new ones if they will fit what you are getting or sell them.
