Hey all!
I finally caught up again!
Friday was DH2B and my 4 year anniversary! Wow when did 4 years happen? lol guess we must like each other a bit
Saturday was a date day and massive amounts of running around.
Sunday in spite of waking up to temps 15+ degrees below what the weather said they would be and wind that just about blew the whole county away we processed birds and had our first fully successful uses of our whizzbang plucker.
We managed to only subtract 4 birds before cold and wet drove us inside. That afternoon grocery shopping. It was a busy weekend.
Monday we had a blizzard. Must be March in Wisconsin.
Yep. I've recently been working on a list of our flock. Something I've neglected since fall, with losing my Grandpa and then everything else we didn't get all the subtraction we had planned done. We all know non layers(cockerals, roosters, chicks and juveniles) don't count in chicken math. Lol
Anyhow I was quite shocked to get a better estimate.
My mother came over(she likes the birds) I asked how many she thought we had. Surrounded by most of the flock she replied about 60.... I had expected her to guess high and tell her we had less. I sure wasn't going to tell her the other direction. Especially not that much in the other direction.
Yep that's where I would be for the killing part.
Awww!!!! What breed? Do you guys raise them for meat?
You can send those bielefelder eggs right to me.
I have room lol.
rofl
Yeah those pesky non-chicken people have the strangest wishes don't they?
LOL I'm lucky that my DH2B isn't completely one of those people although he is a farmer and does like tractors trucks and cars he also loves animals and livestock.
I know I'm a lucky woman. I still am going to have a hard time getting him to agree to goats too. Apparently the goats they had when he was a kid were terribly naughty.

Curiosity question of the day..........
Do you all get that panicked look when a NON chicken person asks how many chickens you have?(I know I do)

My splash and blue Marans eggs are in the mail with a delivery date of 3/8, and they will be set 3/9. I'm soooooo excited! However, I really don't have room for the Bielefender eggs I was planning on hatching... But I may do it anyway. I haven't decided yet.

I can’t find any Pita Pinta eggs or birds here at all in the U.K.
Don’t get me started on Brexit! It’s a crock and it’s not going to end up what we voted for in my opinion. So could probably get eggs sent over even after Brexit.
The eggs are an hour away.
Sure is. I went into PO yesterday to tell them to hold eggs and give me a call. Will see if that happens. It has once but last time they actually came in faster and I didn’t get a chance to tell them soon enough.That's great news!
Minus the goats and rabbits. Too hot for rabbits I tried. And goats are a pain. Plus no fence good enough.
Hopefully they will hold them for you.
