    Wow! Thank goodness he didn't get breakfast though! I have heard a couple of hawks near our property and usually the crows are right behind them! It is a risk with free range.

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    Most likely we will be processing between 8-9 weeks. I plan on the 7&8 year olds helping as well. Even the 2&4 year olds know that we eat our chickens and where they come from. I don't think it is bad at all! Our 3 batches are going to overlap a little bit so it is going to be important to...

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    This is our first year with meaties. I mean we have processed extra cockerels but not specifically raised chicks for the freezer. I'm amazed at how fast they have grown in just a week! I'm hoping to get them into a hoop coop by the weekend and then when they get some feathers we will start...

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    The meaties are definitely a big undertaking. I am filling the feeder twice a day and I have two quart mason jar waterers that I am having to fill two or three times a day. They are also little poop factories and I will have to re-clean tge brooder coop when I get them moved into the new hoop...

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    I hope you guys are getting to see the pictures on the FB page because I still can't get pictureson BYC! Bitty's chicks are 9 days old and starting to get feathers on their wings. Bertie is still sitting tight. I candled her eggs over the weekend and pulled out 3 obvious clears. I left 11...

    Lol.... you guys are crazy! I guess that's why we all get along so well! BYC is being a pain again and not letting me post pictures from my phone. BOO! I have some really cute ones of the chicks' first adventure outside! Bertie is sitting on her eggs and hardly moving. She's almost...

    Ok thanks! I gave her mostly blues and greens on Monday. I may not be able to see much but I was going to try to candle on Saturday or Sunday. I'm excited to see how well she hatches and raises chicks.

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    What's the earliest you can see anything when candling? I don't remember. I'm going to take any obvious clears from my newest broody towards the end of the week. I gave her 14 eggs even though it is her first time. A) because I am over run with eggs and B) she is a big girl and can cover them...
