I didn't count the meat birds. 80 chickens in the brooder, going to pasture today and 10 turkeys already on pasture.

and I thought I had a lot of birds.

I went a bit crazy hatching this year. Come spring, I'll thin the cockerels and old layers and hatch some more...

Good morning. Sun is shining today!

Good morning. The rain finally stopped and supposedly that big yellow thing in the sky is supposed to show itself today. We'll see.

So it sounds like the amount of eggs I am getting is perfectly normal for this time of year.

You must have quite the feed bill! Luckily i only went crazy hatching quail, i sold most of the guineas and chickens i hatched.

That’s okay. You have the land for it!
You’re a “responsible” chicken man!

Hopefully Gladys feels better. I was massaging her crop and could tell it was full of gas. She was burping. I offered her water and she got a big drink. I could hear it gurgling in her crop. So I thought I would try and get more of the gas out.
She promptly puked. I tipped her head down and tail up and .

2 hens, and maybe 3 eggs per week. Gertrude is still molting in stages, she's finally losing the last section of old feathers, and Lizabeth hasn't been laying s much with shorter days. I'm not fussed, simply because I'm not in it for the eggs, as long as they're healthy and happy, I'm happy.

I have a total of 19 chickens, but 5 are babies, two are cockerels, and 3 are broody. So I have 9 that are actually laying, and I get about 4-6 a day lately. I guess that's good compared to what you guys are getting!

BTW, good morning everyone! Happy Saturday!!!

I just love you Anansi, with your eggless house chickens and your pigeon! You're the bomb.

How is Chad, BTW (and I love that you have a pigeon named Chad. I don't know why, but it cracks me up. So refined.)

I've got about 30 laying age and getting less than a dozen per week. I have 50 or so near POL and another 150 behind them, but way too many cockerels. I'll thin in spring.

Wow, what a bunch of freeloaders! Bob, I know I asked before, but my memory is a sieve, lol....what do you do with all those chickens?
