CLSranch a journal to compensate my lack of memory.

Those will be the boys 4-h chickens later this year. They'll probably be a month or so to young to be in their best condition for our county show. End of July I think. It will get them started though and I can hatch eggs next year for better timing.

I am hatching later this year than "optimal"... should have had the NH's and the Leghorns out in April... I am not pushing for any fairs, but will have some for the late fall Va Poultry Breeders show in Nov... And birds to sell... hoping for not too many males unless I find someone with a plucker to kill them. Or someone to buy the "culls"...

These are Old English Game so I may have hens setting before time to incubate. This is also part of the reason for getting games. I like hens to set and not to have to incubate. Although the timing may be off for a show they are much better hatchers than me and incubator.
Hoping for at least 2 sets per hen a year and a lot of culling. That can add up to a lot of chickens fast without using the freezer camp.
