Hey Ron, I have not been on here in a really long time. Nice to see you are still active. Hope you are doing well. Cheers. Deann

I have decided to sell my entire Crele Polish breeding flock. I would like them to go to a knowledgeable breeder preferably in Northern California since I am unwilling to ship. The flock includes 15 hens and 4 roosters, plus I have 7 additional roosters available. If you are interested...

Hi guys, I just discovered the slo-mo option on my phone which is great for taking chicken videos. This video was shot yesterday of one of my Crele Polish Hens. I thought it was so fun I created a slo-mo video forum here on BYC. Give your video talents a try and and post your videos. Lets...

Bummer. What is the Egg Farmer Projects?

Amelias are not a breed but rather a project. They are a cross between Crele Penedesencas (dark brown eggs) and Cream Legbars (blue eggs). The resulting chicks lay olive green eggs, and the chicks are auto-sexing, like the foundation stock. The project was called Amelias in honor of a...

Ron, do you still have a breeding flock? I would love to get some eggs.

Yes, Jason. Please do get your rear in gear. I mean really, get your priorities straight! Full time job, wife, kids... chickens . You're such a slacker. ; ) The bantam Ameraucanas sound interesting. I would only want a couple since I have a yard full of bantams. I would love to...

Does anyone have any Olive Eggers or blue eggers eggs available?

I have heard more horror stories about lost chicks this year than ever before. I also notice that USPS priority is now 1-4 days instead of 1-3 days. I gave up on shipped birds years ago. I would much rather get eggs that I don't have to worry about, or pick up local chicks. There are...

I am hatching Blues and Cuckoos. I loved the Welsummers but no longer raise them. They were really awesome birds. I heard a story, I think here on BYC, that someone had an 18 year old bird that laid 40 eggs its last year. Crazy. I have a pet flock of mostly bantams. They are 6-7 years...

Thanks for b-day wish. Crazy, I still find it hard to say "50"

Yeah, I just celebrated my 50th, so I am gonna use that as my excuse. However, the reality is, I am too dam scattered. I lounge around all winter curled up in a blanket b the fire (not really but it sounds like a good idea) and then at the first blossom, I go hog wild planting vegi starts...

I'm finally warming up the incubators!!! I usually have a barn full of chicks by this time, but due to the cost of food these days, I am taking it slow. I am setting Orps and Polish. I think fertility is low on my Orpingtons because I have a low rooster to hen ratio after I lost my two...

Thanks Ron, its nice to check in with everyone. Its been too long.

Hi Dawn, how is the wine biz? I missed seeing everyone at the the Heirloom festival this year. I am such a wimp. t was over a hundred degrees that weekend so I decided to stay home and lay low. Beautiful eggs! I have have really boring eggs, only beige and white. Im thinking about...

Hello everyone. I have not been on here in forever... How is everyone doing? Any new cool project people are working on? I have cut way way back on my birds. I am down to 60 birds, and most are 5-6 years old. I actually had to buy eggs this winter. That was painful. I just separated out my...

Thanks Ron. His loss a real loss. He was such a sweet boy. I have hatched dozens of roosters in the last few years, but none of them were as kind as Mr. T. He was such a wonderful bird and I feel grateful for having been his keeper these past few years.

Rest in Peace Dear Mr. T Mr. T, a 5-year-old English Orpington Rooster passed away peacefully in his sleep. He leaves behind 8 wives and dozens of children and grandchildren. Mr. T, you will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved you.

Happy to hear your CL program is in the growth stage. Must feel good to be at the point of being able to focus on the finer points. I know how much work it take sto get to that point. Sadly, my mom's dog got into my "pet" flock's pen" and killed 17 chickens including Buddy, my bantam...

Can you believe it has been almost a year? Crazy how time flies. I will be forever grateful to Walt for taking the time to evaluate our birds, and Curtis (@Garydean26) for organizing the event. How is your Cream Legbar breeding program coming along?
