    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Sometimes by the time you get help alerted to the need to shoot, the opportunity is gone and foxes are canny enough to be listening for a commotion in the house, even with the windows and doors closed. The one handed is a "just in case" helping hands would be preferable on this.

    Have you called any of them to see if they have a rooster they want to retire from their breeding programs?

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I have a bunch if unnamed chicks running around. 1. I'm raising them for someone else, 2. No 2 look the same, therefore, while some might be half-sibs, they're each unique breeds, and 3. The ones I'm keeping will be named. (Some already have been.....maybe).

    Named birds don't count either and neither does the 1st of a breed (mixes then on a unique basis). Bantams count on a 2:1 ratio and chicks 3:1

    Chicken maths: gifted birds (I believe this includes hatching eggs) don't count.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    PITA is still brooding, so .... probably about Labor Day for the juniors to move to permanent home with FIL. Could probably go sooner, but he will be out in the woods during anniversary of her loss, so I won't disturb him then. Any late developers should also be known by then. Their final exam...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Not convenient to the route. Random place in ND, meet up, then detour off route in MN for night with sis (who is due any day), then random place MT/Dakota (either one) border (middle of nowhere, lived there for a few years as a kid), then leg it home again.... makes for a 3-4 day trek without...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    In that crossing, running from Barrie to Butte (nearish you, nearish me), half way is some tiny town in Minnesota, and is about 15 hours as the whole thing is about 30 hours. Not something either of us wants to do without more planning, so...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Looking at Google maps, @Ponypoor going through Sault Ste. Marie and the Northern peninsula would be the shortest route with a meeting place somewhere in Minnesota.....but would be a roughly 15 hour drive one way for both of us. Somehow, I don't see that happening (at least with out some...

    For tolbunt eggs, I'd take vacation and meet you North Dakota/Minnesota/Manitoba. border....and swing by my sister's place, see the new baby (due any day), leave half the eggs with her, and incubate them. However, I have to do 3 weeks out. Or meet halfway on below the Lakes route

    I 2nd the motion! Add some silver laced eggs from your neighbor. I bet she'd love some tolbunt adults to add to her laced in trade

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I think I got lucky with that. Focus is mostly done too. Oddly, PITA seems to be mostly done at night but not during the day. It's warm enough that babies don't really need heat any more (they've feathered out faster than those I've raised inside) and the only areas left are heads (and those are...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Found this website. There's a LOT of cockerels on there. Maybe worth contacting some of them to see if they want to "retire" one of their mature roosters? https://www.freeads.co.uk/
