Flock/Life Journey's 2019

Late afternoon 1530

ok not as far behind us as I was thinking you were. I should know better but then my daughter [in Chile] complicates things with daylight saving & my math is wonky at best.

lol See, none of those are squash. These are squash.

Scientifically they may belong to the same family but squash & pumpkin are 2 very different things out here.

This is a pumpkin. These are a Queensland Blue & the outer skin is really, really tough.

Yes! Gords are very different.

Integration is somewhat complicated but it works best if they are close in size. You will likely have to keep the babies separated for a while along with the one month olds.

The time will go by quickly! They should be about 16 weeks old when you put them together

Ok cool! I set up a bachelor pad today for the guys. The older pullet will get the run of the coop while big and littles will stay in their brooders...

Boys=crook as a chook;
girls=easy~peasy.

Food was always difficult for me. Everything tasted of iron ~ especially with the twins. Sounds like you are blessed, Krystal.

Coop and Chicks! Kinda a long video but shows the chicks and how i got the inside of the coop set up.

Front of the coop. New path being laid down, roofing tin lining the bottom of the coop to keep beasties from scratching in, second window put in with hardware cloth over it and ventilation is good now!!

Side of coop my sons color choice vents put in near roof line, cleaning junk away from area too.
Back side of coop, horse stalls in background, boards laid out for the run which will extend out 15ft x 12ft. It'll be used for first two weeks before free ranging. And then it'll just be a safe place from the sun and hawks/bald eagles. It'll have a netting top along with either tin or tarp.


I took this after raking out all the old molding hay. I made a pallet tower with a pallet ramp for them. In the back is a platform with an old plastic fog house on it. There are some old boards off to the side I'll be setting up for roosting. I got two feeders and one large waterer. I'm thinking of setting them up on the pallets i got shavings to cover the floor to keep it drier and warm at night.

Anyways a busy day today!!! I'll try and catch up tomorrow!
