Thanks for the kind thoughts.
I get on BYC about once a week. For those who do not know, I remarried in January, to my high school sweetheart. We are still at the same place. Sherry moved here from Duchesne, Utah, and brought her Blue Ameraucana and two dogs. LOL. Between the FB group, home...
Where in Utah? My wife and I were just there last weekend, we were both born and raised there, and have kids and grandkids in Tooele and Duchesne. Heading back that way in 2 weeks after taking my youngest to Idaho for school.
Also, I don't use the buy-sell-trade feature on BYC. Birds for sale are listed on my FB page, etc. or by contacting me via PM, emai, phone, etc.
Occasionally I will have several high quality cockerels, but I can't keep all of them. These I do my best to sell or place with 4H homes or to...
Also, when you 'cull' does that mean rehome or eat? Wendell. I hope you answer this question. I know you are eating the extra roos and rehoming 8, but the second and third 'cut from the team' will you try to rehome or make a lot of soup?.
For me, living out their lives doesn't seem practical...
I will also be donating 3 additional cull pullets to Rockledge Ranch in Colorado Springs to augment their flock. Only one of the three from 2 years ago are still there. ....
Looks like 13 of the 30 consignment chicks (now close to 4 months old) will be going away this weekend. That will lower my numbers from about 125 to 112.

No, the one from ND will probably get some from my recommendation in SD, much closer. the other one now wants "hens" which I might be able to supply after I choose my personal stock for next year;'s breeding. That comes first. I explain that to people...some understand, and some don't. Yes, it...
I have gotten two calls in two days from people wanting chicks. One in NW North Dakota, the other...who knows. It seems people think I should have chicks always available, and should ship to wherver and whenever. Some people just don't understand about chicken breeding and raising. Grrr.....
The mice are crazy this year. Our running total is now at 93 caught....
Here is what I did inside the coops: I built some boxes from scrap OSB, with a removable lid and put a baited snap trap inside. The boxes are about 6 X 10 X 5.
