What Are Your Plans For 2021?

[writerskramp]

It's hard to believe another year is passing. As the popular old saying goes, “There’s always next year.” Flock management, forage, infrastructure? Identifying areas in need of improvement is always a must in most areas of life. And the same goes when it comes to your backyard flock. As 2020 bids us goodbye, what are your plans for 2021 when it comes to your beloved backyard flock?

In re: Bantam eggs,

I know a woman who makes pickled eggs from all her pullet eggs. She doesn't sell anything, but friends eagerly hope to be gifted a jar -- especially the one with the jalapenos!

that's a great idea for bantam eggs!

I want to get chicks. I'm hoping my hatchery has the breeds I want next year.
I'm also wanting to incubate some button quail eggs.

We’re move cross country so we’ll be building a new coop and run. I love my coop here but hubby will do a great job on the new one too. Unfortunately I can’t take all my chickens with me so they’ve found a new home but I hope to take two of my mix breed bantams! You just can’t beat the colors of my rooster. I’m also taking some new serama chickens with me. I found a very kind man whose selling them to me for a great price!! . I don’t have them yet, but I will once it warms up a bit. So for 2021 I plan to breed some seramas and I’m really excited about that. Once moved, I’ll get just a few standard layers and maybe a rooster. I just lost my wonderful rooster, Deeks! By the way... I think my bantam eggs taste better then my standard chicken eggs. SO much flavor!!

Small but tasty, limited in number.. Hens are so little and don't last long due to the attitude while brooding. They get stomped by the bigguns.. and the daddy rooster meets all expectations, of a banty rooster. Plan for 2021 is to repair the run pulled down by heavy snow.. and repair one more window now boarded, the Jersey Giants broke.. and of course clean out the deep bedding to the garden and remove some more from the run and build a new raised bed in the garden.. and till the run for better water absorption.. Then it becomes 2022.. don't egg me on.

Adding new ducks, hatching some of my own chicks and some shipped eggs of new breeds, adding some dual purpose birds to add in to my bloodline and have some freezer birds, and of course join in to any of the hatchalongs that I can. oh, and adding frankenchickens to try this year as well.
