We are doing it for profit, the royal palms are show birds, medium size, goodnatured and good eating. They sell around here for 35.00 apiece for chicks.Icu4dzs said:

i do like the royals...
my only concern with them is they tend to be more apt to jump fences than the larger breeds lol. im told the royals can get some pretty deacent lift when they want to
I cant wait to see all the magnificent pictures im sure your taking along the way! i bet the night sky is stunning out there!

This is a test of the emergency homestead system At least after this winter storm you'll be able to see where and what to improve on and feel comfort from all the things that go well during the storm with the snow load, winds, how it effects the animals, etc. Just tryin to find the silver lining for you I hope all goes well for you all.
