Hey all.. so my court trial is over about my chickens. I was found NOT GUILTY of noise/odor violation. I was found GUILTY of fowl at large and for not removing chicken/rabbit manure off my property every 7 days because I compost it and use it in my gardens. I had a $2000 fine, which $1750...

Today was a super sad day. We had to put both our almost 13 year old greyhounds to sleep today. They were old and in pain. Our hearts are just broken. My bf of 10 years and I have been crying all day since the morning. In other news, it started snowing. The weatheris calling for ssignificant...

Ugh. So I'm going to trial over my chickens and the neighbor is stalking me on here too. It's quite creepy and stalker like behavior. It's really doing a number on my anxiety. No matter what, I have a very good lawyer and even if I lose I won't be forced to give up my chickens. So idk what he...

Maybe bump of the protein % in the feed? I'm going through only 1/3 the feed I was with all my meat birds. I have 2 more black in astrolorp roosters to process thst began crowing yesterday. Feels weird to not be getting 200lbs a week of feed at the store. We just cleaned out tge layers coop...

So freezer camp was 2 days ago. They dressed out it looks to be a bit over 8lbs each at 15 weeks old. The one that couldn't walk had an infection in his leg. The infection was so bad.. I threw out the entire carcass. I should have culled him as soon as I noticed the problem walking. I feel...

It looks like I'm sending the rest of the meaties to freezer camp today. One is having a hard time walking. I got them from mt healthy on Oct 1 as day old chicks this was taken 2 days ago :) I only have 9 cornish x meaties and 2 black astrolorp roosters left to do. I'm on the fence about...

I currently have a very nice white bresse rooster out with my flocks of white bresse, ayam cemani, svart honas, crested cream legbars, polish and polish crosses, cemani/bresse cross and easter eggers. I'm only hatching out the brown/tan eggs until I put my nice ayam cemani or one of my svarts...

I have a very hard time doing the killing. Someone else has to do the kill stroke, I can do the rest myself :) We smoked 2 of the cornish x broilers this past weekend over some bourbon barrel chips, they were delicious! Smoking is definitely the best way to enjoy a backyard chicken or duck...

I still have 9 cx meaties waddling around the backyard and a bunch of what I think are black jersey giants or black astralorp started crowing 2 days ago! :o It is bone bitingly cold here in Colorado. It's almost time to herd all the feather babies into their coops and feed the bunnies.

Mine do the same thing. The cx meaties stay together. The runner ducks, the legbars, the ayam cemani, svart honas, white bresse, easter eggers and the polish... it's kinda funny.

Snow snow snow. This cold and snow is cranking up my pain :( plus getting gluten bombed because I ran out of my custom feed.. so that has made things worse. Again. My house is a complete disaster.. 2 chickens in my kitchen, 2 ducks in the living room that eat in the kitchen flinging gluten...

Uncooked potatoes and uncooked soy are poision to chickebs.. not I said boiled heavily salted potatoes. . Plus cx meaties do not have super long life dpans if you're feeding them to fstten them up and not so much feed right?

Snow. So much snow. My blue ee x ayam cemani Adeline and one of my ccl Jane in a cage in my kitchen. Don't mind the mess My indoor runner ducklings Ziggy and Phoebe taking their daily swim in the tub I had wanted to process my narragansett turkey pullet and the 12 cx meaties from mt...

Gah! So my chicken lady friend that has been helping me send off meaties to freezer camp can't come tomorrow to help me send off the rest of the fatties to freezer camp. They look ok. Only 1 has crooked toes right now.. snd since my freezer is full of chicken and duck already I don't feel the...

My broilers dressed out better at 8 weeks old :) I'm so busy processing the chickens to take pictures :) My chicken lady friend said she can help me again on Tuesday to get the rest of the cx broiler meaties into the fridge along with the mean narragansett pullet. I'm pretty sure she's been...

I only have 12 more cx meaties waddling around. I have a small 3-4 lb little one cut in half in the oven with elephant garlic, oranges, rosemary for dinner with roasted sweet potstoes and sweet peppers. My extra muscovy drake is in the freezer. Freezer camp could have been today, but we got a...

That should be fine for them, but I don't see much in the way of ventilation.. maybe my eyes are missing it? 10 cx meaties in the fridge resting. I'll do more tomorrow, but I don't have any more room for anymore chickens in the fridge. Plus I have a young muscovy drake being mean that needs...

I'm so embarrassed that i'm now not cooking dinner 3 x in a row because I've been processing chickens /being sick. And having medicinal bourbon... processing takes so muchoout of me, my bf.. anyone. I find I am eating less meat since raising and processing ny own...a far cry from a year ago.
