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

[piglett]

I have 2x 50lb salt blocks from the USA in my next box. They are over $55 each here.

Monday is over. We completed a good portion of the grow-out coop. It's 10x15 so it will handle 75 teenagers.

It should be finished tomorrow.

My ad on the olx.com.ph website had yielded several inquiries. I even had a guy wanting to buy six Polish chicks at $14 per chick today. Too bad I don't have enough to sell.

Good night y'all

will you have pics of the grow out coop OZ?

It's a cloudy motioning at CocoBeach. I am just finishing my coffee while the guys have their breakfast break.

The goats are all tethered to coconut trees in the front yard mowing the lawn. The kids are free to run and jump and play. The nubian cross are growing so much faster than the previous doeling from our first buck. The oldest is two months of age and almost the same size as her older sister. We have one more due this week.

I have chicken sales this week that I am going will surpass my feed bill for the month for my entire menagerie. If this keeps up I may be able to buy a new buck by labor day. This time next year we will have 75% nubian kids.

Thesecond grow-out pen that will free up breeder coops I have been using to house juvies. I need all 11 coops to handle the requests for birds.

It's day 14 of our big hatch. I will convert one of the old pig pens for the pheasant but if we get a good number of turkey, we may need one more coop.

I am taking pictures and will get them to you soon. I have tried from the phone but on this site I can't upload. I can easily send pics on what's app. Perhaps I can use a relay lol.

I will set up a "photo booth" before I leave if I have time and parade the birds through a Matt black box for their studio shoot. It's a little down on my priority list but it is on the list. I am not sure how Dominic would feel about bathing a pair of every breed though lol

Hahahaha - CocoBeach poultry parade

I know time and resources are limited while there. I was not trying to rush you along. Just trying to say that I appreciate you taking pictures now to share later once you have got home and recovered from the trip.

We will be attending the Lions Club meeting tonight to plan out the chicken mission. If there is wifi at the restaurant then I will upload some pics.

The front wall and door are going on the grow-out pen this afternoon then it's just a matter of running the netting for the run.

I will be re-working the hatcher-bator to even out the temp as it has some cold spots.
