Thanx. Appreciate it. Just got home from my chill out job, but kinda sleepy. Don't think any of my animals got tended to yet, but DS was in charge Sunday and he overfeeds, so that might be why I didn't hear any screams coming from the yard, when I drove up.
Well, I've been very discouraged with my araucana project. Its more of a collection of hard to manage animals, rather than a profitable business/project. I'm seriously thinking about selling my old stock to the next Latin American customer who comes looking for meat and taking the young chickens I have and combining them all in a single project with one single roo and whatever I get from them, I get. I don't even think I will worry about tails anymore. Its just not feasible. I keep hatching out chicks from eggs and I have such a hard time cuz of infertile eggs and then it looks like if they get to be a few weeks old, I have to worry more about cannabilism more than my sex-link project. I can still keep the young birds I have and when I get eggs, I know they will be blue and will freak out my customers, but I really believe I"m downsizing and not going to worry about selective breeding. The whole time I am having 4 separate araucana projects, thats 4 stalls I'm using up that some of them could be used to produce meat for my freezer. As a matter of fact, I might even kill them myself, if no one shows up soon.
Well, one more cup of coffee and I'm outta here to do my 40 minutes of chores.
