    This is Jack. I think he is a little “touched,” as the old timer holler people would say. His elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top, you know what I’m saying? Not the sharpest tool in the shed, kinda thing. 😅

    I wish anything sold well in my area. The druggies will try to steal anything they can get ahold of, but nobody wants to pay a decent price for anything. I live in a very poor rural area in Kentucky. I do wear shoes and have all my teeth though, guys I promise. Not running around barefoot...

    I sure will! I hear some faint chirping coming from the incubator now so hopefully Wednesday I will have some Red Necker project chicks. 🥰

    Probably not. They are just something fun I am working on mainly for myself. I will share them with friends and stuff, but likely won't try to sell any. This year is the BC1 cross (first backcross to Legbar). Long story: The White NN rooster we had was heterozygous dominant white and he...

    I love a sustainable chicken flock. We feed them every day but mainly they get most of their nourishment from constantly foraging and scratching.

    Only the female chicks will be chocolate since this is a sex-linked cross. So you would have a mix of single barred chocolate cuckoos on at least a split partridge base. Some of the pullets will be blue chocolate cuckoos. The males will be single barred cuckoos and single barred blue cuckoos...

    We probably have hundreds. I don’t even count them. 😱😬 And my chickens are not pets. We have one little Ameraucana hen that likes to be held and she jumps up on the porch when you open the door for attention. But otherwise I am not attached to any of them. Sure I get super annoyed to lose...

    Yes the hens get the roosters stirred up here and the chorus is so loud!

    I have tried raising quail and didnt enjoy them. The little males crow is super cute but they have to be kept separate from the chickens and the eggs were just so tiny so we sold them. They were jumbo coturnix.

    Oh yes! The white leghorns are laying every single day. Sometimes I swear they lay 2 a day. 😆😆😆

    Yes duck eggs are good for baking also. I prefer fried eggs over easy, and prefer the taste and consistency of a fried chicken eggs. Scrambled it makes no difference and they taste the same to me. I do prefer chicken eggs in general just because we have so many. lol

    Turkey eggs taste like chicken eggs when scrambled. I can’t tell the difference. We do eat them. The dogs love them too and they deserve to be fed good. They work hard.

    I bake with turkey eggs. They are good in cornbread and cakes. We just have A LOT of eggs coming in, from both the chickens and turkeys. Turkey eggs are rich kinda like duck eggs and the yolks are big and thick, so they are perfect for baking.

    That is all completely understandable. I’m not sure I will still be owning/breeding turkeys in the next 3 years with this crazy economy. Free ranging they don’t eat so much feed but the hens like to nest way off the property in the woods and get eaten by varmints. Maybe that is for the best...

    My plan since the turkey eggs are not selling is to turn all the turkeys out to free range and use the huge pen they are in as another grow out pen for my project birds.
