Quick update: Sansa has been clucking and acting broody for weeks but doesn't sit in the nest box besides to lay, so I've left her be. Thursday she stayed in the nest box all day and laid an egg, but slept on the roost, Friday she did the same, but slept in the nest box (I collected both eggs)...
Must be something around our area this year🤷♀️ Last year I was overrun with cucumbers, this year they just stopped growing. I'm grateful I've got some folks to trade with. My flock loves cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes. All the seeds I took out of the cucumbers for the relish I put in the...
My cucumbers failed this year but I traded with a guy my husband works with (3lbs of cucumbers for 3ish pounds of banana peppers and tomatoes) I made enough pickle relish for the year with enough to share😊
Thank you! I try and provide as much of a natural environment as I can since they don't free range. They do get access to my large fenced yard, but only under supervision, so I want them to have the best life possible. And yes, it is never-ending 😉😂
I completely understand how tempting they'd be, they were quite handsome! I've just got the one Wheaten Marans roo, quite a few WM ladies and a plethora of other ladies. I do have splash wheaten ameraucana which makes beautiful blue wheaten OE chicks with roo. I'm still waiting to see what this...
She seems good, back to laying (2 eggs so far) I'm watching her like a hawk! You can see her dust bathing by the Texas sage. Thank you for asking💓 A little video from today of the little littles (almost 3 weeks) out partying with everyone. They're still putting themselves to bed in the grow out...
Sorry work has been crazy, I'm glad someone snatched them up, I'm against introducing hormonal young cockerels at that age. There is no way of knowing for sure how they were raised. Hatch some babies or get some super young cockerels that your hens can whoop up on and teach some manners to. Just...
I went ahead and gave her a calcium citrate right after I posted my last post, she'll get another in the morning with her spa treatment. I'll update after then
She's one of my OG's, so over 5yrs old, but she is a high production breed. She's a very friendly lady and when I went out there she came right up to me as usual, then laid the bloody yolk. She's acting fine, but will be getting an epsom salt soak in the morning and a calcium citrate. It hurts...
I just went out to collect eggs and check on the littles (I opened their hidey hole doors) and Betty laid a bloody yolk right in front of me, then I found her egg from today. This has me worried!
