That's great your DIL is interested in raising a flock! And super nice her MIL had some extras

She has a flock already, sorry I should have clarified

Hers girls are getting to where they aren't laying as much and it helps me out too. I kinda didn't want to process any of these, they were my replacement flock and I've grown fond of them.

I saw one of the girls mount another like a rooster. I so can't wait for the boys to grow up and teach her a lesson

Have been talking with my DIL recently, she wants some egg layers and I happen to have some pullets I want to get rid of.

I'm giving her the 2 white Turken females from my last hatch. I'm keeping all the boys plus the Dorking mix pullet from that hatch and the pullet that @BlueBaby hatched a couple weeks before.

From the older girls she's getting the two black pullets with bibs and the smaller buff pullet with the black tail.

I'm glad they'll have a home and can be layers for someone.

I'll be left with the Salmon Faverolles boy as well as 1 each white, black, blue, red and buff Nn girls. The white one isn't laying yet and I suspect the red girl might not be at all. Once I get rid of the others I'll have to spend some time stalking chickens.

Is that the one who took the black Australorp rooster before?

Yes ma'am, his name is Clyde. He's molting right now and lost his tail feathers poor guy.

Mealies were thirsty! I forgot to put more apples in the bins and there are a LOT of worms now and the beetles are dieing off at the end of their cycle now.

@igorsMistress If those eat oranges too, I can get you a bucket full of them for free once they are ready to pick. The bucket would be the same size as the one out by my coop. They also have tangelo's, and I like those. The next door neighbor's are always trying to get me to take way more than I do. The neighbor on the other side of me with the goat's try to give me some oranges too.

@BlueBaby I'm not sure about citrus for the mealworms. I'll have to look that up or just try one and see if they like it. I'll let you know, thanks!

 

[BlueBaby]

@igorsMistress It was just a suggestion. If they can't, then you can eat them yourself, or make some of that orange chicken and rice.

Oh I love orange chicken. Great idea! We're down to one vehicle right now though which sucks. Will still let ya know.

Ok, arrangements have been made. 5 pullets leave tomorrow night and move to my sons place to be with Clyde and the gang there.

There's plenty of time to fix it. They are still green and aren't even ripe to pick yet, but I'll let you know later when they get to where they need to be. It look's like those tree's are going to be pretty full again this year.
