I will likely sell processed birds. We sell our processed rabbits right now so I'm sure turkeys won't be that much harder to do :)
That hen was a freebie from a friend of mine. I suspected she was a cochin/cochin mix of some sort. She died a few months ago from being egg bound. I dont'...
YAY! My red bourbon turkey eggs will be here today! My hens are defying me and not broody of course so I'm bring the eggs over to Sac area for a friend of mine to incubate. I hope we get some babies! :D
Nothing significant, just a rag tag group of individuals. EEs, a silkie, cochins, Australorps, RIR, Plymouths, SF, Speckled Sussex and probably a few I am forgetting, and a lot of mutts from last years hatch.
We had a good size group this year with my favorite broody and her "daughter" from...
Haven't posted in a while :)
Things are good here, lost a few birds to a neighbors dogs but we caught them on the game cam and the neighbor replaced the birds and updated his caretaking of his dogs.
We had 14 chicks hatch out again with 2 broodies. They are doing well.
I'm looking to...
Well I am learning that now! LOL Our pasture is fairly clean, we did turn over 2 large piles of fill dirt a few months ago so perhaps they found it in there. I am glad it had no negative effects on the bird. I can't imagine that eating glass would be comfortable to digest
Has anyone ever had a chicken eat glass? I was cleaning off the side of the goat stalls just now and I found a pile off poop with a bunch of broken glass in it. I'm not even sure where they found the glass. It looks like tempered auto glass which I know we haven't broken any.
Haven't lost...
Haven't posted in a while but I thought I would update anyway :) TONS of fun stuff going on here.
I found out I am intolerant of duck eggs. Traded my trio of Cayuga and my beige mutt duck for 3, seven month old hens (Silver wyandotte and 2 australorps), as well as 6 young pullets. One is a...
So I dont' breed purebreds or show birds. I have a bunch of mutts that cross breed and what not, nothing fancy.
I've gotten the idea to try to breed my Spangled hamburg with my blue cochin.
Is it possible to get a blue bird with black spangling? I'm not looking to create a new breed or...
That guy isn't our water retriever but he does love water! He spent the whole time eat sticks and running through puddles ;) Jody (the brown dog in the photo) is our duck dog. Shes a weim/chocolate lab mix. They are both so tired and full of food tonight :)
The rain stopped about 1 pm and...
Rain rain GO AWAY! We have been digging drainage ditches all morning. The ground is already saturated and the seasonal creek is already full! I hope it doesn't come over :(
