I thought you had 12? Cuz in that case it wouldn't be true free ranging. :lol:

I hear you have game fowl? How'd you beat me to the cheese? I still can't find and new genetics for my birds. That's awesome though.

I think you will be pretty happy with them. For me they are easy to keep, besides the constant trapping that is needed to for keeping predators down. They free range for most of they day.
Oh and about Gamefowl. Yes, yes I do! I have 11 Gamefowl chicks that are almost fully feathered. They kept dying from cocci when the weather was funky. At one point I had 17 of them. Oh well, it happens. I got them from a friend of a friend. He breeds Gamefowl. I’ve never seen someone with so many different types to choose from lol!
 
Ghost town here, eh? 👻

Anyways, I wanted to let @Brahma Chicken5000 know that I did not forget about letting a broody raise meat birds.

Today, I went my TSC and got 2 LF Partridge Cochins, 2 LF barred Cochins, 1 LF Lavender Orp, and... 1 Cornish Cross for my broody. It’s a chunky little chick. I would’ve gotten more but let’s be honest, when worse comes to worse, I’m not gonna be able to cull more than one of the meaties if necessary. The CX gets a home here as a pet. Purely a pet until health issues arrise then I suppose I will cull it. It’s a cute little thing, and it likes people.

As for my flock I have a tonnnnn of keets and more due soon. I’m overloaded with ducklings, and chicks. Plus I have 5 broodies- and 3 have babies! Haha! Bird math 😁
Hi Kayla and everyone, sorry I haven’t been on in a while. Been busy adjusting to classes online and finals are coming up.
I’m so excited to see how this Cornish cross chick does!
We have folks coming next week to level out ground. :D Also I sold ALL my extra cockerels. Sold tons of ducklings, and have loads more. Plus keets are coming outta the wazoo! Not to mention chicks too. I have a few people wanting ducklings. A man wants about 20 for his pond. Those are due to hatch here next week. A lady wants 2 pairs of ducks for fun. She should be taking those soon.

I really need to take pictures for you guys. :p
That’s awesome that you have so many customers! I’m so happy that your business is thriving.

I got Fred a friend from a live poultry market. Her (hopefully :fl) name is Juliette. Fred coos to her and shows her his nest. I also got a Cornish cross breeder hen and an ex-battery Red Sex Link hen at the live poultry market.

Awww :love I’m so happy for you! The battery hen will be better in no time with your care :hugs Juliet is really pretty!
 
Me too. :hugs How are you Kayla? Are you seeing an increase in customers wanting chickens for eggs because of the virus?
I’m good, how about you? Honestly for some crazy reason ducks are in high demand. I sell a decent amount of chicken eggs weekly.... but ducks! Everyone wants ducks :eek:
