And that is why the wood is not stacked against the fence. Now, to get him to stop chewing everything plastic in the yard. Including the rainbarrel pipes.

Anyone here have Brahmas? DH is intrigued by the sheer big ass size of them.

@Auroradream26 Do you have the egg scissors? I thought I asked before, but forget.

I do but I didn't buy them i have no idea where to tell you to look for them lol. A guy at the swap gave me a couple dozen quail eggs to taste and a pair of the scissors to go with them before I had my own.

I have light brahmas. Beautiful birds but my giant English orpingtons are bigger. From what I understand, most brahmas are not giant. Bigger than most chickens but not ginormous.

Here are a couple pictures of my big English orpington roo with one of my turkeys.

Then here, you can see one towering over the other chickens. The closest ones to him are cream legbar and Olive egger

Apparently, I don't have any pictures of the brahmas so I'll need to go take one. Hopefully I can get one with the orpington in it

Amazon has them. I’m still waiting to see what else to put in my cart before ordering.
Apparently they are the same as cigar cutters.

I just wanted to be sure I wasn’t a lazy bum for not wanting to crack each egg by hand!

 

[BullChick]

Yup, another post.
Because it’s supposed to be warmer starting this weekend, I’m planning on letting the chicks out of their area, and possibly free range with the group. I still cannot be sure which way to go with that.
The boys are the problem. I can’t decide how many to keep. One or two? Which one? I know which two. Unless I don’t. Do I?

Not at all! They can be quite the pain if you have a lot to crack

Really cute potbellied pig starring in this!

i have never seen that one. Very interesting.

If you guys want to get in to quail, let me know and I'll hatch them! I swear, i have about 80 quail eggs piled up on my table, itching to be hatched lol

Oh My Gosh..not you too

So far I have:
black cochin bantams
leghorns (brown looking, from a project to make mille fleur)
welbars
black orpingtons
black ameraucanas
fly-tie chickens (genetic hackle)
australian spotted ducks
turkeys (royal palm and mottled black)
... and 2 mystery chicks I was hoping to be norwegian jaerhons, but are all yellow chicks

Next week I hope to also have lavender orps and ams, maybe the first cream legbars of the season.

you have been busy

They do get big, nice looking birds

I used to have a cockatiel, his name was Fred. He would sing-whistle..the good, bad & the ugly theme and say lots of other sentences. Very cool bird. I sometimes think about getting another bird & then the medication kicks in.
