Larkwell Valley (2023)

I culled the cross beak today. I'm sure for me it was maybe the wrong way. I did a breaking of the neck by hand. Was ok for like 10 to 15 mins then got real dizzy. I am not as thick skinned as I once was.

This is number 3 for the pseudos, hope to get one that actually grows up so I know what they look like

French Paul might have more babies tomorrow. Some looked like they were shadowing under the hen in that pen.

Butterball took eggs from a hen that quite setting, bit I'm not sure they'll survive. She was off for a while and they're a bit hard to tell. Still have veins, but they were all awfully still.

My ancient EE is broody. I tried seeing if she wanted to take the Moonies, but she wasn't interested. So, the first French Paul baby that hatches will probably be slipped under her to try and break her. She's a great Auntie, and actually did raise Romero, my current mixed 3rd in command, (Ambrose's son, and under Colt and Tatiana in rooster ranking)

Hope Auntie's last egg hatches tonight too.
