CuriousSheep.NET, Things to Come, Intro to Raising Barbados Blackbelly & American Blackbelly

Future Topics and History

This page is a simple list of brainstorming ideas (bad memory so it's better to write it down). Many things are on that list but it simply takes time and sometimes money. We also find that some things pop up simply because there is an event that's worth documenting.

If you're interested in any one of these over the rest, write and let us know. Just because it's on a list doesn't mean we'll get to it soon - don't hold your breath. If you want to read about the topic then you'd best ask because the list keeps growing !
