How is your flock today?

Not mine they're brats

If I had to go through an Ohio winter I'd be a Bratt too!
Our Kekaha summers,I am right there with my girls flipping everybody the bird. Misery loves company.

My birds are enjoying the windbreak that I put up for them. They just don't know how MUCH they are enjoying it. I come into the run, get out of the wind, and I want to hang out there.

Two pullets laying. Will the third lay before the Solstice? Stay tuned...

We caretake a cabin up there and have free access in exchange for the work. Normally we just go up to work... like for years.

Oh wow, that sounds like an awesome arrangement. I loved your other pictures you posted, might you have some of the cabin?

Wow this thread came back from the dead! I’ve got a bunch of chooks I hatched that need to go to freezer camp and one roo who always wakes up on the wrong side of the bed. I wish he wasn’t so mean, he loves his girls. But he was attacking me too close to my face for my preference. I don’t want to be scared to go into my own coop. I AM excited for the fresh chicken dinner though!!!

It's a fun little thread, it's just hard for me to keep up with everything daily on the forum with all the other irons I have in the fire. Trying to stay active daily on the Forum is like having a second full time job! LOL

IMO, no reason for an aggressive rooster. It's so much nicer and less stressful to be able to be in the coop walking around with the hens and not have to worry about being attacked. RIP Chewy! LOL

We have a Koloa duck that looks much like the Mallard.

Very beautiful Ducks, thanks for posting. Does anyone you know of keep domestic ducks their on the island where you live, and or are domestic ducks just not an option to have there?

Well, I wanted the experience of hatching something besides just chicken's.

I can understand that, but once you hatch ducklings and fall in love with them You too will now have a mixed flock!

I know you like the larger breeds of birds, how about given these guys a try! Check out the link below, they sell eggs! LOL

This morning I had Bolt out who was doing great as usual. He is a good boy. I opened the run door so I could empty my kitchen compost in the tumblers and Bolt entered. All was calm. Girls, boys good... me wishing I had my camera again... for about 30 seconds. Then Bolt challenged Spider and we all went three feet in the air again. Ugh, too bad, it was a hopeful moment. I'd love to have 2 on guard. Just don't want the stress of making it happen.

All was calm, last famous words! LOL I currently have 7 young cockerels all together and waiting for chaos to start. So far things have been going good with them being all together waiting on freezer camp.

Every now and then two will square off and have a stare down, but no serious fighting this far thank goodness. I keep them in a large pen with lots of extra food to help keep them content, so far so good, knock on wood!
