Re: GRAND EGGS!

Yeh...I'm going to have to deal with that situation pretty soon. My old
rooster is realllly old (about 9 years old...which is old for a rooster)
and I would like to keep one of the new "doodlers" because he is SO
pretty....but I don't want them fighting. The young one would probably
kill my old one. I ended up with 5 doodlers out of the 13 new chicks.
Gonna have to find some homes for 'em.

I've been raising them for more than 20 years. I kept the shell of one of 
the first eggs around for a long time. I don't know what happened to it. I 
can still remember the thrill of that first egg. I found it when it was 
still warm. And the first grand egg was a thrill, and the first great grand 
egg...

Alas, I don't have any more descendents from the original batch. They've all 
gone on to the big coop in the sky. I have some 2 year olds and 11 month 
olds now, and I'll get some new chicks when they come into the local feed 
store. It saves on having to decide what to do with the surplus roosters. 
I'm too old for that now, and there aren't many people locally that still 
keep birds. One rooster would be ok, since our old boy died a month or so 
ago, but two is just too much fighting.
