Had two hens hatch off today so now my brooder box has 62 chicks in it! A great variety and all colors!. And one is my first pycheon chick!. Really proud of it,and it has a lump ontop of its head so hopefully that means it will have the needed crest!At least now I know the pair is fertile. I have several more of their eggs set.Its hard to pick out which breed I like the best. In the chick stage they are all full of cuteness!
Wonderful weather here. Its still nice outside. I got some radishes,lettuce,green onion sets ,carrots planted today.
got to band several new baby pigeons today. I have 12 pairs nesting now of the rollers so the babys are starting to really come along. Sorted out my Brunner pouters the other day and had 7 extra birds. And they were all males! No wonder they weren't setting good. Too much bickering. I removed the males and will take them to the next auction. Hope everyone had a nice weekend,we sure did.
she went broody last fall, she was only 7-8 months old, on her second clutch. She would have went broody on her first clutch probably but one of my dogs got it, lol...I dont mind keepin her, for who knows what reason I really like her....
