The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

Hopefully they will hold them for you.

Hope so too. They sort of had the deer in headlights look as to why I wanted them held. Either way it will work. The gal that delivers knows to be careful with them. Even puts them the right direction.

Mine juggles with them, and has dropped the box in front of me. Also leaves boxes balanced on top of the mailbox, one good wind and it's off.

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.

My rabbits are small pet breeds, holland lops , lionheads, and mini rexe

s mostly. I am considering buying meat rabbits.

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.

We are in the middle of a lot of junk here too sadly

Pita Pintas are fantastic! Get them if you can. I am hoping for some type of financial windfall so that I can get more hatching eggs over to the US....We need more genetics
