BYC Café

Good afternoon/evening cafe. This has been a very busy day!

We finally got the roosters processed. Igor had to make a kill cone, 5 gallon buckets are awesome! Today went smoothly, but Igor understood when I said I'd lost my nerve to do the deed over the last week. I did all the rest no problem so the next time I'm going to try.

We have 2 chicks and the second 2 are working hard to get out of their shells. The two that have hatched have naked necks, yay for that!

I got the coop cleaned out and we finished up a new nest area today, I put some golf balls in there and we've repaired the pvc feeder and done some other odds and ends. I'm pooped, so there's some strong coffee for anyone who needs a jolt.

Have a good night all

Nice! I have coffee here as well. The clouds came through with a sprinkle and cooled things off.

Thanks, IM, I'll have a cup.
A deluge just finished up here. We had an unnatural dusk when it first started and all the chickens headed for the coop. The sun is back out and so are they.

Most people don’t do that!? that should be standard care for all of them!

But I am sure that plays a big part in it and people see how much you care about the animals.

I have seen animals with no bedding( end up coated in poo), no shade, no water or food. The swaps require it, but not enforced generally.

Lots of things you can't imagine about some people, till they turn into their "mean side."
