Just picked up a few more hens. Barred rocks and one rir..(Rhode island red) just wandering if anybody else kept chickens around for eggs or meat. We are slowly trying to eliminate the ole grocery store..lol..

Lol. I hear that that judge. I been doing some research trying to find a good "dual-purpose" hen. And these barred rocks are what i come up with. There pretty big and lay eggs pretty consistently. Plus there pretty to look at..lol..we plan to build a bigger hog pen and raise 2 or 3 hogs, have a decent flock of chickens (20 or so) , and raise a big garden year round. We already have a few cows. We live right on the river and its loaded with channel cats. Thats plenty of food. Not to mention deer,squirrel,rabbits and the wild hogs. I aint one of these crazy organic or nothing people but were going to try to get as much as we can on our own this year and see how it goes. You still might see me with 2 mcdoubles no mustard and a large sweet tea though! Haha..

I have a few. Barred rocks and silver laced wyandottes. They're producing plenty of eggs for us. We had Rhode island reds but dang were they dumb. They all culled themselves by running into the dogs kennels and spots.

Georgia, whats wrong with possum? Ok, yea its a lil greasy but fried up its not to bad n then u got extra frying greasy. Good thing u dont live in a heavily korean populated area, u could get kagogi on a stick or stir fried with noodles.

I did watch it. I watch them skew it up n serve it to me n even watched the stir fry it. I dont know though which is the best, grilled or stired. Both methods have their pros, but a single con and is extremely tastey. Most frown on cooking rover, but its as tasety as fresh deer or pork or fish or what ever they like

the oldtimers around here said whistlepig ( groundhog ) was real good meat . their oldtimers said painter ( panther ) was a delicacy . possums were caught alive and fed cornbread and garden scraps before butchering , as they have been seen crawling out of the belly of a dead cow .  |

I keep about thirty hens and hatch out chicks about twice a year to replace older hens . I have developed my own breed , I crossed production reds with a half game roster and for some reason wound up good laying hens that weigh around ten pounds. Now I am crossing this with a Cornish x New Hampshire red rooster , that I breed an raised. I have twelve pullets out of this cross that look real good . Will see in the spring !!
