INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[ChickenCanoe]

I have one, I hatched him with some bantam phoenixes I got for my MIL. The first 3 are my lovely Bielefelder girls.


Oh I wish I could have a second real coop. I have a little one for broodies, babies, or sickies. But not that space to house all the separate breeds I want. Urg! I need to move out of the city and get to some country acreage.

I've seen them but not really familiar with either breed. How is the Cemani's temperament?

I hear you on the last point. After over 30 breeds, I realized I only had space and time to commit to a single breed and do it justice.

Hey, Phil. You know you loved it, regardless of the stress, and would do it again tomorrow!

Yup....I know....grandson is coming back for 3 weeks in a couple weeks.

The Cemani is super sweet and friendly. I love him and I'm so sad that he's a cockerel. I've already got 3 boys that I'm going to try and sneak together so I can't keep him. I held him a lot as a baby though, I had to save him as a chick as he almost drowned while hatching but I managed to suction the liquid out of his little nostrils and beak. He's a little one that's for sure and leaky, but he's so sweet. The Bieles are big and gentle too.

That gives you plenty of time to convert to an incubator and do a few test hatches before you hatch next year.

Rofl!!!

I now have all my chickens in one coop/run!!!!

Yay!!!!!

sweet! I want to build a bigger coop

Ok deciding on coop. Like I have said I have my leghorns that are probably 5 weeks and then my babies that are 2 weeks to 4ish weeks. Are the little ones still to little to put the big ones in with them or do I need seperate coops?

Put them all together

ENVY! I originally bought nine hens and a roo so I built a coop for twenty so I would have lots of room Now I have twice that and I had to build seperately because the location of the first coop has no room for expansion.

Lol chicken math

Was thinking about moving south, having a very hard time with this heat humidity and dang gnats!!!  I think I am old, how did I camp in these conditions for so many years?  ughhh

you mean somewhere cooler?

@ChickenCanoeI raise Charangus, and my last calf was a grass fed heifer that weighed 696 lbs at six months to the day when I weaned her. Not bad when you consider she got sick fot ten days or so when I brought in a calf that busted out of quarantine.

That I'm not familiar with. I assume they are a cross of the French Charolais and the Scottish Angus.
How do they calve?
I lost one of my first time calver Angus heifers that was bred by a Hereford bull that broke into our farm. She died in the woods trying to expel that huge calf. They both died when we weren't there.

best camping times is snow on the ground, at least in my twenties. I am sure no longer. No wanted to move south to not deal with cold, raise critters easier, garden, but I dont seem to take the heat near like I can the cold.

oh! sorry about them mc how many are remaining?

If you know how many chickens you have, you need more.
I think I have 26 chickens now (with new chicks. And one was just found dead.) 8 ducks and a poult.
Of the five gone, four were the SPR I was going to work on. One boy and one girl remain. Good thing I have nine chicks left!

I did notice you were missing. Glad you are here now.
The duck must be female.

Awe! That is too bad!

I am going to concentrate on one breed, and have a coop with a variety I just want to have laying for me.
