    And that includes my own "Red Necker" line of Naked Neckers I am working on. They are mutts, a mixed breed. I don't intend to sell those birds, they are my own cross for my own use with a cute name that makes he smile. I wanted to add that disclaimer. lol

    Yeah, people mash up two breeds, call it xyz, and then mass produce it for profit. It's a song as old as time. Essentially they are just mutts, but in my experience mutts are better layers and have better longevity, disease resistance, and are generally more robust. But I am one to call it...

    Well Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you enjoy your birthday dinner and cake. I am making homemade apple fritters and some cinnamon sugar sourdough bread today. I bake to keep from stressing and worrying, that is the best therapy for me aside from prayer. I made Sweet Potato Pie the day...

    Ah, a Zombie Chicken, or that is what some people call this cross. Ayam Cemani lay tinted eggs, and Leghorns lay white, so you should expect tinted to white eggs from this pullet at a better production rate than Ayam Cemani, but perhaps not as good as a White Leghorn. @The Moonshiner can...

    I feel that big time. But we adapt and overcome, that is what makes us strong. All will be well, friend. :)

    Speaking of chickens clinging to instinct, I brag pretty hard about Game chickens having all this instinct and how smart they are. Meanwhile, we have an old battle-axe of a Game hen who insists on laying her clutch every year on the bare metal roof of a 4x4 pen. I have tried to present her...

    Hope may be on the horizon, but I just can't reach the horizon just yet. lol

    I may be a pessimist, but I don't think the economy will get better anytime soon. The struggle is real for working class people. God help us. 😓

    I love that Leghorns still cling to some pretty strong instincts like that. They love a hidden place to lay. The best thing about mine have been they don't go broody, and that is an amazing trait in a chicken because I can't stand having to constantly break up broody hens. Even my iBTR...

    I have failed, my friend. I have been picking up a lot of OT so my body needs the caffeine to push through. I don't know if there is hope for me.

    I pray your work meeting goes well and you get good news! I have had such an internal struggle trying to weed down my projects to just what I absolutely have to work on. I am not abandoning the Red Leghorn project, so I have two pens set up I am collecting eggs from (Buff x iBTR and Red x...

    Agreed. I am trying to catch up on this thread and it is just pages and pages of talk about vegan food and beans. lol

    Yes you always have to add water during lockdown. That is why I call it "dry incubating" and not "dry hatching." I would never attempt to hatch chicks without an increase in humidity at lockdown.

    What challenge is that? Sorry I have been MIA. I worked 5 12 hour shifts in a row (2 of those were OT I picked up extra), and on my days off have been spring cleaning.

    He must live in an area that is less poor than where I live. I have priced turkey eggs as cheap as I can feasibly part with them for, and still people want you to give them everything for nothing. But yet they will go to TSC and pay the big prices for baby chicks and poults all day long, hand...
