Hi All - Happy New Year! 🥳:frow
I was so blessed to be able to spend the morning listening to and looking at my most beautiful flocks.
We took our first 10 day vacation in Florida, and all of our animals, including our yorkie, my senior cat and my dozens of chickens all not only survived- but...
Thank you! One more hatched, but it was outside of the box and dead 😞 The remaining eggs have poop on them, so I’m not optimistic, but tomorrow is a new day :jumpy
I’m just watching Lloyd Christmas and his girls trying to stuff themselves in one hole 😂
Also waiting for my cemani Cleopatra to hatch her kids. Just saw a couple pips and heard some cheeping- how exciting 🖤
:jumpy
Spent some time with my teen agers trying to definitively call these pullets or cockerels, but I just still can’t tell for sure (they are about 14 weeks old). It’s so fun to just watch them chicken. I have a broody with 12 who is due tomorrow. Fingers crossed - I have not bothered her or the...
Put our leghorn, ancona and cemani babies in the outdoor brooder, along with 8 pheasant chicks and two broody hens with 12 chicks. Hopefully the camo shades come tomorrow to cover the top of the run.
Spent time with my lovey teenagers, threw a mean Easter egg in the isolation apartment because...
That is a lot of eggs😃
My husband finished up the renovations to the outside brooder. Just need to clean it out, cover up the boxes so the babies roost, and hope these chicks and pheasants do well together until we do something with the pheasants. One of the three Cemani eggs that hatched from...
Didn’t do a lot with the fluffy butts because I had my granddaughter, and the wind was brutal today. But I did come across this cute picture of a couple of my teenagers this week enjoying some mashed potatoes ❤️
The pheasants were an experiment, really. My husband has raised them before, and they do require special housing. I’m brooding them together at the moment, and will continue outside in another brooder, but will most likely rehome them.
I entertained raising them for a second, but we already...
Took the baby pheasants and my week old chicks (Legbar, Ancona and Cemani) outside in their brooder for some fresh air and sunshine and they seemed to enjoy it. The cemanis are unusually quiet and reserved, but are definitely the bigger chicks right out of the shell . The are a new line for my...
Today I moved 10 pheasant chicks from my room brooder to the water trough brooder in my husbands shop, and they joined three leghorns and three anconas chicks. I have no idea what I’m going to do with these peanuts - this was my husbands deal 😂
My last Cemani chick hatched today that I got...
