Do you give them light when you put them outside? We basically have the same weather. Mine are so dusty inside it's driving me mental! I have them in the spare room with the door shut so the cat doesn't get them.Mine have at least another two to three weeks but they are growing really fast...
I think it's hilarious when people eat chicken from the grocery store, but think it's cruel to raise your own... The chickens that you buy at the grocery stores are treated so poorly! I'm just glad that my chickens can spend 20 weeks very happy then be stuck in a meat farm stepping/sitting in poop obese and having a bad quality of life.
My mom is so grossed out that I am doing my own chickens. I showed her the plucker that I wanted to buy and she got grossed out just by seeing that
They'd make a good meal for my 5 lb puppy
I don't know if I am going to sell some of mine, I might sell some of the pullets. I'm not sure yet. I really don't want to deal with selling to people because if they get sick or what not I don't want to have to deal with people complaining. So far none have my chickens have been sick
When I breed my ducks, I probably won't sell any of their offspring because some will be mules Pekin/Muscovy cross. The rest will be straight Pekin.
My babies are doing well, probably take some more pics this weekend. Had to move them to the bigger brooder through yesterday...
We have something like 29 acres. Every time we see the description it changes.Some times they say 27.5 other times, it's 29 sometimes it's 28.5. Geesh, gimme a break. I think they say 29 because legally our property line is to the center of the road which adds to the over all acreage. About 7-8 acres are buildings, house, barn, chicken coop. The rest is timber. We would love more timber but reality is that getting older we don't need any more to manage and what we have provides us with firewood to heat with and forest to wander around in.
DH has spent a lot of time cutting trails and grooming them and as we live on a ridge there are a lot of hills to climb so we get a lot of exercise.
I'm not sure why mine are creating so much dust! I'm using pine shavings. I have to vacuum a lot in that room.No cats here but they are on the other end of the house and the baby chirps drive my baby girl crazy some times....
We are looking into purchasing 11+ acres by next December. I cannot wait
