One of my eggs hatched :) So excited. But found out we are moving in a year so I am not adding any more to my flock, I can't image moving with to many chickens.
Well gave up on my eggs. Hoping to get more monday though to try again.
The ladies have started giving me 3 eggs a day instead of 6(6 hens). Although a friend just lost all but 1 of her hens so I might give her two of mine. We aren't sure what got them but they have been gone over 24 hours no...
So cute. My girls refuse to go in the snow unless I trick them with some scratch or treats and even then my one won't as soon as she see snows under her she runs back lol
My coop before the snow hit last night. This is when we 1st set it up this summer
The turkey was in there for a few days...
All my eggs I think are dead in my incubator. I need to find some fertile eggs closer I think they were in the mail to long. Course the temp spike thanks to my little one didn't help either.

I missed this but Hubby will be processing the birds, he can do that for me. I will learn how but really it will be I'm and 2 or 3 of the kids. I have 2 that I know will help and do a good job not sure about the other we will see. I am not sure what kind of rooster I want, I know I want some JG...

I have a mix, 13 ee, 2 longhorn/ee mix and a sussex/ee(I think) mix. We will keep the row for meat, even if they are small. We are adding a meat flock this year, mainly jersey giants and buff or fps in that flock.
I have 6 ladies and get 4-6 eggs a day. Although they are't even 1 yet so. Although I think my jersey is an Australorp not a heresy. Going to get a better look today.
We have 8 days or so till our eggs should hatch the kids can't wait. I am making my brooder this weekend and if the weather...
I raised a white breasted last year with my hens. I am raising more this year but I have a 2nd area for them. They will have some free ranging together but their fenced run and houses are in different areas of the yard.
I have a mac and use safari doesn't seem much slower to me but then I tend to do like 3 or 4 things online at once so who knows.
This weekend i am buying my house for my meat birds and my roosters house.
I will have to try that tonight or tomorrow. They got a big bowl full of my worms this morning already. I need to find something cause I am going to be out of composting worms before spring.
I am making one of my raised beds just for chicken treats this spring so we will have treats all year...
Never tried oatmeal do you give it to them just uncooked oats or cooked mushy and cold?? Mine get mainly bread as treats and worms. The girls steal my worms for composting to feed the girls.
