SO, i know i haven't posted in a while... so here we go.
Last week we got some br from 4h... they are growing so fast! Today one hopped out and found it's way to the breeder coop... scared me to death but i found the poor thing. It spotted me and came running, which was super adorable. It has a...
I wish we did have luck, but all three chciks hatched and two of them died, including my favorite :hit . We named the remaining baby rir Precious, bc she is really precious to us now. I am so sad.
On the bright side (if there is one) we finished building the run for the layers... it ended up...
Unfortunately, Wednesday Lonestar died. We are all very sad, especially Mother Hen, who misses him a lot. We think he may have had worms because he had recently lost a lot of weight.
On the bright side, today we hatched two chicks and are expecting one more!
Yay!!
The two turkeys we dubbed Ada and Jack, Jack because my sister insisted, and Ada because there is a person with crippled feet and she taught herself to walk with no crutchesw or anything, named Ada. Turkey Ada cured herself of the straddle leg with no help, so it totally fit. Pecker would...

Thx. Lonestar keeps trying to mate with my feet, and he dances to them! It is hilarious, but i try not to let him do that. We also just got 9 new additions. Full grown laying hens. Storm is a lavender orp, Pheonix is a mix who lays green eggs, Deliliah is a silkie australorp mix, there are 5...
Do have up date on the chicks that were supposedly hatching yesterday, only one hatched. The others hatched prematurely... so they didn't make it. Because of this we named the little one Lonestar
As of right now i have 7 older RIRs: Goldie, Zuma (aka Mother Hen), Jay Jay, Harriet, Fluffyhead, Shiloh. I started out with 10, but unfortunately, 1 died as a chick, and the nabor dogs stole the other 2. :( We got them early march, and in november Zuma went broody. She hatched a silkie and...
