Welcome to the crazy house!
WEBS.
Really??

Happy birthday from me too, Liz!!
BENNY! :frow

:lau Thank you.

Hi Dan!! :frow :weee you sure should finish that bator!!  Sooner or later yer gonna have a bratty broody and wish it was ready to put ER eggs in it!!  How are all the critters doing?  What have you processed and will have overwinter? 

How did the pig raising go?  any tips?   I have so much trashed Hay from the goats, it would be nice to have one just to eat their scraps!!

@dan26552
  and you know you dont have much farther to go on that cooler!!


How are you?

I know I know. But you see my mom put it on hold so yeah, not going anywhere soon :/ Well everyone says it's contagious but so far the only thing I've had go broody was a pekin duck :lau I can't get things that go broody to go broody but I can get a duck that's got a 5% chance of sitting all the way through to go broody and hatch 60% of the eggs givin :gig :hu

Most the animals are well, chickens ducks and pheasant are finishing up a molt. My favorite rooster has wet pox :hit Other than that everyone seems to be good. We butchered a turkey back in August I think it was (late August or early September.) cause he had bad legs, dressed out at 15 delicious pounds :hit then we butcher the two extra Roos, we were gonna do three but the third dropped died two days before we butchered :hu :lol: We're going to butcher the last two turkeys sometime next month and probably a rabbit too. We've got 23 chickens one pheasant (who may end up as Christmas dinner) 13 ducks (3 are ducklings so that may change when we figure out the genders.) 2 rabbits that for sure will over winter two pigs (the other two are headed to freezer camp before winter) and three goats. Are you asking about the ones I raise for 4-H or the current ones? Definitely hot wire train them early and never ever ever ever leave it off any longer then it has to be.

I thought you would using that as your avy.
no it reminds me too much of me at the moment, scary real stuff! its the black eyes ughhh

Quote: That is weird, how old are your hens? What type of pheasants do you have? I didnt know you had them too! Was the turkey a broiler type that his legs couldnt hold him or something else? Im sure he was delish! I still cant do rabbits, just cant do them for eatin, Im a woos when it comes to them.

What do you mean hot wire? I know run electric fence but how do you set it up for pigs? I would assume they still can dig under fence no? That is what scares me about pigs, getting loose and taking off
 
HEATHER BEAUTIFUL!!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Morning Sally! Thank you! I went in my Starbucks today and the barista turned around and scared me half silly. She was dressed as a zombie nun, and she had all this crazy facepaint done and bloody and oh my! I wasn't expecting it!
 
It may actually be good for them in regards to breeding in the spring. I think part of the program in big hatcheries is to rotate roos periodically. I would have to research that again if you want more info though as I dont think I saved anything on it.

don't research, but from memory would you rotate weekly or more often?
 
Good morning everyone. :frow

Good Morning Peter!  hows the weather lookin?

 

Indeed I made a short visit to good freinds in Switzerland! :D

WOW Benny!! Good for you!!!  Did you miss your wife like I said you would?
You were certainly missed here!!
What no images to show? 

 
bye y'all, gotta go make a veggie skeleton now.. say hi to duckling if she wakes up MC!

oh yer gonna do it!! You have a party tonight?  Can we see it before you devour it please!!!  @lovechicks1293

Yes I did miss her! But sometimes it is exactly the thing that we need!
It was more like a good freinds meeting in a Bar mitzva celebration of ouer freind son that leaves in Zurich, so me and my 2 other best freind, ( from hige scool, we are freinds more than 35 years! ) visited his family and participate in all the events in the weekend, it was more people gathering than cite seeing.
