My Entire Chicken Flock

[Poultrybonkers]

Nothing really has happened besides a chick getting stuck behind a rock and coop and a chick nearly drowing in water it was the smallest chick to both are fine now gonna be sorting chicks next week and giving my friend all the culls they wanna raise to eat as I dont like processing to much work involved and they want to fill their freezer my broodies still have 4 duck eggs due the 30th which will be for the same person for their freezer...my first ever duckling that hatched in april was culled last week because my drake tried mounting it breaking its legs so it couldnt walk also it ripped out its back feathers trying to mate it deciding if i even want a drake hes by himself now he over mates the duck to her back was bare so prolly gonna give him to friend to process as i dont have time or space to be dealing with that. Last night everything I ate went down the drain started with itchy palms then throwing up and wheezing all because of raw cookie dough i bought from walmart had wheat in it. So all in all hasnt been a good week.

Well this the year the chocolate wyandottes will be processed they have no purpose anymore they cant hatch chicks and they barely lay and I dont have time or money to feed freeloading birds gonna process them for my rats as i dont eat birds older then 8 weeks and since they are 2 years old will be rubbery/fatty and nasty also have a young cockerel thats limping he will be culled every year i get males that can't walk... So kicked the chocolates out of the coop and put my youngest f2 olive eggers in it they need it more then them.

Im not kidding when I say I have been waiting years for this to be thrown to the street so i can take it! Its like three houses down neighbors, seen it in the yard not used for years. Gonna remake it hopefully, missing the tray but i can make a new one. Gonna get a good scrub first then repairing it if anyone knows which one this it let me know

They are very beautiful!! I could get chicken feed here for $12 now its $20-$25. I sally only go through about a bag every month but i will hopefully get more chickens if we find a place to move.
