The Never Ending Story of our Bird's

[holm25]

Sorry I have not updated in awhile so here. We have been getting eggs for sometime now about10-15 hens are laying. Lot more to start. Sadly we had to cull a barred rock I could not break of egg eating. Two of are turkeys days are numbered. We are going to try and butcher two a few days before Christmas.

Good luck on butchering the turkeys.

I want to butcher one or two around the same time. I hope I can do it.

WOW!!! I would not have been able to butcher a BR...I just wouldn't be able to bring myself to it!!!

That is what I said. But on a "homestead"you have to be able to do that stuff.

Ralph- I am pretty sure we can they have been trying to breed our pullets so that is why we built that hut.

My young toms are too busy fighting with each other to try breeding anything. They are comical to watch the fighting, running circles etc...

BUT there can be only one!

They must lay this time of year, look what I found on craigslist:
