@artsyrobin that's incredible for one to live that long, right?

Good morning from Oklahoma City! I haven't been to a poultry auction for many years and miss the fun of visiting with everyone from BYC. (I don't miss the time and expense of feeding all my new acquisitions that I bought because the "price was right " and I was enjoying the bidding) I still have chickens for eggs, but my runner ducks and free-ranging chickens recently became the victim of a fox.

So are you going to replace the birds lost to the fox?

@artsyrobin that's incredible for one to live that long, right?

well i think genetics has something to do with it, breeder vs hatchery, both she and her roo are that age, but most of mine go to about 7 years, so they are really unusual for me, but i have a friend who has a 14 year old. So i really am not sure if they are just longer lived. Silkies are a favorite lol But my brahmas are long lived, pretty healthy too

OMG

Is it due to the weather?

 

[Chickenmeme]

Really really close to me!!

How are your chickens doing this time of the year?

 

[Chickenmeme]

I wouldn’t mind having more in my flock in the spring.

I’m ready for some brooder here. Any one have any to give away or sell?

 

[Chickenmeme]

Now I'm getting about 20~22 eggs everyday. Chickens are doing awesome, turkeys not so.
