    Grieving after losing my 8 to a fox

    Heart goes out to you. I'm sorry for your loss, it's never easy. My hubby found our Mama dead this afternoon, and I'm kicking myself bc I didn't check the cameras last night or this morning. I get it. It sucks. Would I have been able to help or not? Was it meant to be this way? Hugs

    Olive eggers

    My tip for olive eggs? Let them cook the entire length. After reading so many people saying they tossed viable eggs, I just let them all go to end date. Even with candling frequently. Even ones that are lighter in color but can't quite tell what's going on. Good luck!

    Story of our raising and hatching own to process of mixed flock

    Sold 5, 4 pullets and a roo to family. Keeping 3 pullets. Have 10 going to market end of Aug as we just don't have all supplies or funds to get supplies to do them ourselves. 5-6$ a bird processed and packaged.

    Sexing Brahma chicks

    I have a thread dedicated to Buff Brahmas and how they grow if you want to try to compare (I can't get my phone to work properly right now to link it) But Brahmas are very tricky. I've had some pullets feather slower, while cockerels are even slower, with an exception here and there.

    If you are able to do a full body photo, head photo, side photo, that would be greatly appreciated for determining Brahmas. We have 12week old buff Brahmas and we have one too that is just now fully feathered.

    Story of our raising and hatching own to process of mixed flock

    They were all going to go to market (haha) at the same time, so was hoping they'd survive long enough to get there . We shall see. Next year won't have different groups, and we'll separate sooner, too many life bumps and weather

    Story of our raising and hatching own to process of mixed flock

    Welp, these boys may not make it to grow out date lol almost accidentally killed one this morning. Hit him *just* right as he was attacking a girl while I was feeding. Never had so many issues out of boys. Girls have been separated, wanted to do it last week but crap happens. Now to figure out...

    When do you start adding to your flock- contingency plan

    Well ... Our girls aren't production girls lol our oldest are now 2.5(ish)(I think lol), we hatched some this year we will add 3-4 pullets from that batch, hatched last year and added then. Plan on hatching for meat next spring with possibility of adding then. We've had 3 deaths this year due...
