Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[ozexpat]

Mrs OZ ROCKS!!! YAY so excited for her!! TAKE a ZILLION Quail eggs with for her, every kind you can snag! Why just one breed? she will be bored with just one breed!

Question: do you have any overhead predators in Philippines?

No, they have been eaten.

Its sad but true. Barely a sparrow in our area. We banned slingshots and now have a dozen or so nests on our place.

I miss your humor pig. I could not find a rental in my price range with a yard. Maybe hatching a few eggs here and there will suffice.

i'm over on that other site most of the time OZ
we have 10 day old chicks in the bathroom rite now
so hatch out a few & once they are 2 weeks old send them off to their new home
you might even be able to sell them
around here pure buff orpingtons chicks are $5 each

One of our local hens decided to leave her 1 week old chicks to go sit on some more eggs. they are in the brooder (glad we have one)

I may have a sex linked breeding pair? waddayathink?

maybe she wants to become chicken adobo ))))
not sure why she would leave the the chicks

I am not sure either - they are so cute. Still, they will get a good chance to grow up and become delicious chicken inasal.

I will give the mamma one more chance at raising peeps then into the adobo she goes.
