I gave my girls some meal worms today. Boy was that a hoot! lol

Have you considered raising red wiggler worms for your girls?

Hmmmm no but I will look into it.

Well don't buy any! I have plenty for anyone in East River who wants to start their own colony of red wiggler worms!

The tub has barely been touched since last fall (other than feeding). So unless we get an extremely cold spell, they will be fine until people bring cottage cheese tubs to gather some up for their own colonies.



Here is my blog that mentions the worms and also shows what they look like.

Does anyone have a large cochin rooster they would like to get rid of? Preferably not white.

Kids found our first egg of the year. They were quite excited. I also would like to see if anyone in the area is interested in feather footed bantams. My dad has a bunch of them. He is collecting about 20 eggs a day.

Possibly. I am waiting to see what sex all my chicks are. I will probably have to get rid of any roosters, and right now I have 2 that are possibly. I'm pretty sure my Delaware is a roo, and possibly my Turken. Only time will tell though.

Candled my eggs in the incubator, hatch next week looks decent. Putting in some banty eggs this weekend.
