Nice - I'm hoping the few broodies I have will start laying again as I'm pulling everything.

The big problem is my little splash guy is trying to be tough man and mess w/ the broodies. And they are not having it. So I'm worried the stress of him messing will delay their laying.

Yes, he could be stressing the girls out. I separate my boys out around 12-15 weeks depending on when they get antsy. Mainly because I do single hatches and need to know who the Sire is but also it's way less chaotic, I can't imagine the blood bath I may wake up to one morning if I left all these boys in with Kong.

Somehow I stopped getting notifications and got way behind on your thread. I’m so sorry to hear you lost Doro last week.

Yeah it's starting to heat up. This weekend I have to separate cause if not it's to the tipping point.

Second week of september I have vacation so plan is to prep the whole yard and finish the 1 acre fencing. (Going to be a busy busy week), and maybe if it's not raining get a shed delivered.

That is a nice little dayyy trip LOL. I think last trip up there was 11 hours with three stops.

Nah local to get stuff done at the house. I need to cut down a bunch of birches, and get stuff prepped before winter. To do my expansion for the marans/geese.

(I have a sick goose inside right now). She decided that the new tractor supply food is not good, so nearly starved herself to death friday.
