Got some of my own chicks on order from Ideal, June 10. We were almost ready to list our vacation rental when everything stopped in AZ. So I went online to order some chickens, and shocked to see that it would be over a month!

Hi! Great to see you! We are missing WAY too many of our original tribe.

I want to order meat birds but can't get them until August. I still need to process the 23 I have. Planning to get a start on that Saturday.

The longer you wait, the longer they will last! I let some go to ~12 weeks once, and they were over 10 lbs dressed!

Ours are 10 weeks now. I was planning on starting in on them at 7 weeks, but we shorted their feed a bit and they were undersized. They caught back up really quick. Even the runt who is half the size of the rest of the birds is probably over 3-4lbs now.

Woah was I busy today! Channeled more Squatcher energy for sure. Got the run on the medium coop together. Cause I had birds that needed it....:oops:

Met a friend out at a Silkie farm last night. They lady is downsizing her breeding to focus on other colors. Between us we bought almost every bird she had for sale. :eek:

These four came home with me. The little grey in the front is spoken for.

This is Sunny! She is a frizzle silkie x oegb mix. She is the cutest little stinker. I couldn't resist her.

This handsome feather duster doesn't have a name yet. He is a Creole Satin Frizzle. The colors and markings on him are just amazing. (Cause I needed another rooster) Yes he is facing the camera, I'm pretty sure....🤣

And the basement flock. Pinky is Definitely a boy! Those waddles dropped the other day. Still just love him.

Then there are Swedish Flowers, some Americaunas, Brains butt is in that picture. They move so fast I can hardly get photos.

I need to get the small coop together so it can be for grow outs. My basement smells like chickens.

I need to mow my lawn still. Maybe when I get home from work.....:tongue by far my least favorite chore.

The kids called those that went so long the "fat biddies". I roasted them like turkeys, better than turkey. Some were only 8 lbs dressed, but a couple were over 10 lbs. I would do it again, but they are not rec'd for high altitudes like Prescott.
