Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

[ronott1]

Currently dealing with bumblefoot on one of my easter eggers. Pretty traumatizing for both of us. Will post about it later, and ask for some advice.

Bumble foot is tough sometimes! There are good articles in the learning center.

Hi Everyone, I just posted a moment ago on what breed is my rooster. I've been busy with family matters and work, but still love my chickens. I lost the prior flock to Raccoons, since set the coop to predator proof and bought some Wisconsin Rhode Island Reds last year. This summer I added a pullet Rooster.

Hope you all are doing good.

That is good news on getting a predator proof Flock!

I would just brood the hatchery chicks myself.

Here I just finished trimming our goat hoofs 19 of them. Got the solar A/C unit up and running. Put the well on solar. We are working on getting off grid and we are at 80% just a bit more. So far so good. How is everyone doing?

19 goats? That's a lot to trim. Going solar sounds nice.

We're all OK here! Busy baling hay and bush-hogging pastures....
12 more days and we go on VACATION! Woo-hoo! Going to New Orleans for the "Tin Can Sailors National Reunion". The grandson takes care of the farm while we're away. 15 new chicks coming at the end of September....

We just baled up second crop here. That's enough for our uses. Congratulations on the upcoming vacation, and the new chicks.

We bale only for ourselves too. It's to keep the Donkeys happy during the winter....
Up north we did Timothy, Birdsfoot Trifoil square 45 pound hay bales. We would do a little over 10,000 bales a year. Luckily we had all the equipment that could handle the heavy job. We sold the hay directly to a hay broker who sold the hay to racetracks....
One time a private, very snooty, individual came to buy our horse hay. She actually chewed on the hay to taste it! She tried to get the bales cheaper stating the hay didn't taste good. Jerry walked away, she called to him and stated she would buy the hay. He said it wasn't for sale, feed your horses snow balls this winter....
