Anybody have any projects coming up in 2018?
I plan on continuing to improve my New Hampshire flock for meat/egg production and sop.
I am also going to add a new leghorn flock to increase egg production as well as work on them over the years for fast growing fryers.
Also starting a breeding project with some Blue Andalusians (hopefully). Tracking down some good birds is harder than I thought. I thought I had a lead on some but the breeder no longer has them. I expect this project to take a few years if not 5 minimum. Hoping to have a neat blue bird when done that will be a good dual purpose white egg layer.
Hopefully this will get me to become a better record keeper. I hate doing the paper work, but i"m gonna have to to keep things straight over the years. Also I've just been using colored leg bands for identification. I'll probably start using a toe punch and leg bands.
