My little 10 day old roosting stars. These were taken last night. When I got home from work tonight, I found my husband had built them a new brooder! It's about twice the size of the old one and he put in two low perches for them along a tree branch for them to perch on. They are having a ball!!

I've never had mine roost that early, but then I've never given them a low roosting bar that early either. I have had them try to roost on the feed tray though, from the moment they could get up on it!

Anyone have any experience with Cream Brabanter chickens?

None what so ever

So I saw on the CSRA Hobby Farmer FB page there is a class for candling at the end of March. Is it a difficult class? I've never candled before. I didn't even know I needed to take the class if I was going to sell eggs when my girls start laying. I also think it's a pretty interesting thing to learn.

Are there other classes/licenses that I need if I sell eggs?

Someone took this recently, and apparently you only need the class if you sell OFF-PROPERTY. So if you packed all of your eggs up and took them to a farmer's market, you'd have to take the class. But if you just sell them out of your own yard and/or deliver them to people at work, you should be fine.

Good morning!! ,,,,,,,,,, Lol I'm the only one online,,,,so,,,,,,,,, I'm talking to myself

Good morning!
I'm just catching up on threads I missed when I went to sleep early last night. Trying to get my body to adjust to this time change thing before I actually have to WORK in it on Saturday.

Morning all!

Had a nice visit with @mrsdszoo yesterday. Hopefully the kitties fared well overnight. I'm sure they are fine because they have more shelter there than they did here

16 buff orpington eggs in the incubator and a rabbit in the freezer. The handsome husband and I are going to have to psyche ourselves up to eating it. I found a recipe for rabbit stew that looks interesting.

I think I will be spending my day cleaning house while my daughter has homeschool co-op. Ya'll have a good day!

These Buffs are pretty big for chicks. I have had them for a week and wow the have doubled in size

Chicks usually grow at phenomenal rates! Someday, I'll try to get a picture of a week old chick, and a day-old chick side-by-side for you.

Good morning.

I keep trying to get out from under the blankets, but it's cold

. I really need to get up and get going to see how my farm critters fared in the wind so far; hoping I didn't lose any baby bunnies. And I have to go feed what feels like a hundred chicks but it's only 30. I can't wait for the weekend; my daughter will be home from college for spring break...with a guide dog in training, and there's a rabbit show on Saturday.

. Oh, and no more freezing weather after tonight, yay!

My sister kept the heat on all night. For some reason, my room always gets the warmest, and it's not even the smallest room. So I kept the window open all night. That made it perfect.

The funny thing is, I had JUST loaded my AC unit into the window on Tuesday, and was actually using it yesterday MORNING between the high temperatures and the work I did outside. By last night, I was shoving everything I could around it to stop drafts (BEFORE my sister turned the heat on)!

I think the isbar are pretty, the lavender orphs are pretty too, but I want some Mille fleur d uccles. Anybody have any experience with em? Are they bantams or not, I can't figure it out.

Yes, they are bantams.
