What did you do with your flock today?

[BlueBaby]

Awe they are just darlins!!! So just 1 boy in the hatch? Not bad!

Yes, but I still got an extra future boy for my flock now. I found one Bielefelder boy a home last year, and one this year too to a couple of other AZ. member's here in BYC to help them get started with these (hopefully).

I just finished my hatch of 6 shipped Bielefelder hatching egg's that made it to lockdown. All 6 have hatched and I ended up with 5 pullet's and 1 cockerel. This one is my first pullet chick that hatched yesterday.

I'm not lucky when it come's to the lotto, so I think that I'll just stay with these chicken's.

Tomorrow's supposed to rain so I spent the day outside until the wind kicked up. Let Mina out to play so I had to find jobs out in the main part of the yard cause she cries if she can't follow me around. Mucked the pond and pulled a bunch of pennywort out to give the ducks...happy ducks!
Still not warm enough to paint my joined coops with the asphalt so decided to putz around on the rebuild for my oldest coop. The original coop was built from pallets and the goats could reach it...well, they chewed an awful lot of the wood right off a long time ago. It was still sound, but was looking so bad that I tore it out back when I moved the adult yokos in with the babies. Now that they're all back out there, I really need to get a new coop built. So got started...long ways to go still.View attachment 3415773View attachment 3415774View attachment 3415775View attachment 3415776
Think if hubby wants to move into town when he retires I'm going to insist on a pretty, professional looking coop that's not built from scraps . But at least I know it'll function well when I'm done.

Working out there was fun though with Mina and Jazzy following me around. Jazzy gave me a back scratch and Mina tried to eat screws. Shes such a goat!

Your such a pro and make quick work out of it. Impressive, scraps and all ♡♡♡

I have a Cemani on the way!!! And my Cochin is just about there. Waiting for the other 3 Cemani’s to pip!

 

[FBMcrazy8]

Yep I definitely know!!!
Breathe...they'll come through for ya!


Bambi finally had a ...not like a full broody poo that's humongous. But normal in size and hard in texture...but not sure how long after I left she did it either.
Her crop is like a water balloon going down now..still bigger than it should be with no food today.

I hope she gets better!!

Last show until County Fair in May! Ducky Jr was Junior Reserve Champion in the “All Other Combs/Clean Legs” class! He lost to the eventual overall Junior Champion, a dark laced bantam Cornish. Ruby got Best of Breed and Best of Variety, and all the others were the only ones in their variety and got Best and Reserve Varieties Was a great day! The Best in Show was a black Sumatra pullet. She was gorgeous. I added a few other pics of birds—they even had one Yoko @ChicksnMore!! She was very pretty

Oh u are doing amazing job with that! Man I can't even show yall a pic of what I've done thus far! It's hideous!!! Level and sound but hideous!

Awe they are just darlins!!! So just 1 boy in the hatch? Not bad!

Level and sound are what really matters . Mine are sound but probably not level, and definitely erm..."rustic". I'd really love something sharp and pretty like what @kurby22 built. But I'm happy enough with them. Someday I want to build pretty though.

Your adults are gorgeous... I think it won't be too hard to find someone who wants him.

First hatch is so much fun...enjoy your little ones

WTG Ducky and Ruby! That must have been a lot of competition!
So many gorgeous birds! It's a good thing I've never done shows or I'd end up with a hundred coops and no time for anything but chickens . Those fluffy tops especially
That sounds like an awesome day... congratulations!
