My original narri hen that was going on 5 years died this afternoon. She did a brood and I guess it took too much out of her.
Took 14 chickens to the auction today. Was not a sellers market. Market is screwed up when Rooster are bringing 2 to 3 dollars each more than laying hens.
Was gonna take a few poults but forgot boxes. Poults ranged from 18 ea. For narris and bourbons to 4 dollars for palms and sweetgrass.
Moved poults I have over to the big brooder. There were 51 that I moved. 10day to 2 days old. Placed 22 turkey eggs on lockdown. Plus 54 pheasant eggs, 100 quail. All these should hatch tues. So may have to get more brooders set up.
Had a mystery of my own sort of. Had 2 broody Turkey's on 8 chicken eggs. Kicked them off a week before hatch date. Had 8 chicken eggs and 2 turkey eggs. Hatch came about 1 lone chick. Let them set couple of days kicked them out so I could clean box. All the chicken eggs were gone and they were on 8 Turkey eggs. There was only one other hen in the pen and she used another box.
Been a messed up week for the most part my grandmother passed away thurs. Trying get arrangements taken care of and dealing with family that doesn't deal with loss to well kinda takes a toll.
Memphis: glad to hear you Annie and daisy had a good reunion after the dog show.
Jrnash: Good looking future dinners. Good luck on your upcoming hatches.
Rjohns: hope the one eggs keeps developing for you.

You're in my prayers
I feel so freakin dumb. They were happy healthy poults that were running around picking bugs with mom last night.
