I've been around, just not too chatty.

 

[77Herford]

Well you can gab all you want.

Egg production is certainly going down for my Hen's. I decided to add a heat source for my large group of RIR hens who are just starting to lay. I'll be happy when I'm getting 400 plus eggs a day. Sell those for 4 dollars a dozen to my grocery and bakery clients. Don't worry I don't charge that to my little old ladies who buy from me. Most are on a fixed income so we sell to them at cost and for some just give them away in return for some tasty baked goods.

I got White Royal Palm Turkeys who will grow up in the barn in a little nook I set up for future poultry orders.

I was wondering why you chose RIR over another breed?

 

[77Herford]

Why you hiding?
RIR are rather friendly and are great egg producers.

 

[elevan]

My only experience with RIR is that they are she devils. Not a fan.

making sure you have no clubs tonight.

I have BO and they just started laying and are laying strong

I thought the best layers were Black Astralops 364 out 365 days/ year

I have some Orps and Lorps and like them.

So yesterday I was country driving as I call it, which is aimlessly driving around on odd roads away from any urban environment. I drove by a little place that had awesome jet black looking sheep. It wasn't that brownish black color or lighter black but anthracite coal black. It was a small flock probably a dozen or so but man oh man did they pop in that pasture.
