Straub’s search for colored eggs

The jack-o-lantern carving is going well.

No issues with the cockerels yet. Everyone is just hanging out beside their own tractor and enjoying the sunshine

At sundown all the cockerels went to their own tractor to sleep. We had a bit of drama in the main coop tonight. I think Smokey finally decided she was done brooding her 2 remaining pullets. The pullets were trying to find a spot on the roosting bars and tonight momma didn’t clear a spot for them. My broody Jersey Giant,Gena went up to roost tonight. I think I’m broody free for the first time since spring.

It's been a couple weeks for me since the 3 broodys hatched theirs.

10 week weight in for the Bresse and I’m very happy with the results so far. They really do look to be growing much faster than my olive Eggers that were in the incubator at the same time. It’s hard to describe but just handling them they feel more fleshy than to OEs. The OEs feel real bony like they build bone first then put on weight as they get older. The yard is getting a bit noisy with one rooster and 14 cockerels out there.
