    My ratio went wrong.

    Hello everyone! I feel like I haven’t been on here in forever. But now I have duck questions 😂😂 so around Easter my son wanted to get some ducks to add to our little homestead we have going. We went to tractor supply on almost a whim and they had 7 unmarked (Rouen) ducklings left. We purchased...

    Need opinions please

    I agree with the free range thing. I started an instagram page and Facebook to be able to share more pictures. I wasn’t sure how many was too many to put on the site because while I like pictures of my chickens, I didn’t think anyone would appreciate a whole photo album 😂

    In demand chicken breeds

    Our two leghorns crack me up. They are skittish little tench hoppers as my son calls them (even with one clipped wing) but when they see that feed bucket they will beat you to that gate to get back in!

    Oh crap, what have I done ...

    I wouldn’t just be concerned that you ordered so many, but the size of the ones you ordered. Those are really big birds!

    I’m getting a chicken barn!!

    Are they are in their scraggly preteen stage so they look so homely 😂 we were moving the big girls this weekend but we are going to wait one more week and order a 4th roll of that premier 1 fencing to square off their yard. So for this week I think we are going to move the little ones out there...

    I’m getting a chicken barn!!

    We had 8 hatch out of the 18, they are a hot mess of a bunch too. Some are crested, one is a frizzle mix, one of two have muffs and several have feathered feet. Lord knows what all kind of mixes they are, we got them was a pullet resale place. But I just let them out of their own coop today to...

    I’m getting a chicken barn!!

    These aren’t the best pictures, but I took a few yesterday after we put the sand in! We’re almost there guys!! We framed out for two more nesting boxes and left room for more roosts on the other side so we can add more chickens if we want to later.

    I’m getting a chicken barn!!

    Now that our little barn is almost done I wish I would have taken progress pictures. I was going to upload a video but just realized I can’t here. I’ll have to take some pictures soon!

    Most common/highest in demand backyard chickens

    I like the thought of ameraucanas, but they always seemed to be mislabeled. The true blue whitings, we have and have had really good luck with except one. Lol she’s completely sterile, but she’s one of my sons “raptor pack” so she just hangs out. But the others have been consistent and lay a...

    Most common/highest in demand backyard chickens

    I plan on ordering chicks, except the marans. We have what I thought was going to be our breeding flock but I think I’m going to need a new rooster. I didn’t end up liking the one we got, he just didn’t fill out right. I have a guy I’m hoping to work with on that though. He just did a really...

    Most common/highest in demand backyard chickens

    We’re really just doing it for fun. I don’t really feel like there is any money to be made in chickens unless you can do it on a large scale. I’m not looking to breed or sale chicks. We have two tractor supplies for that and it’s far too easy to just order chicks. When we started out we wanted...

    Most common/highest in demand backyard chickens

    We are actually in the process of building a chicken barn right now and I’m wanting to put in some of the the “best next box” my fear is that I spend all that money and they can’t get their big fluffy butts in there.
