Brian going back over our work...

Let em out to free range in it... might do this til we get the garden planted and growing so they dont eat our seeds and sprouts!

We let Sally out of his cage and in with the girls... lets see if hes going to be a nice rooster now?!?! Charlies in there too, hes almost 7 months now

March chickies... 2 weeks old. Moved them to their own area inside the coop, letting the flock get use to them before I mix them in.

* Update on broody hen... shes not broody anymore, lil stinker! I candled the eggs and there were some yolkers and some that had blood rings :( Maybe next time.

March Chickies 1st Time Outside

Its been so nice here lately...

I got to take the March chickies out for the 1st time, I just loving watching them. They have been out alot since these pictures were taken.

BO/RIR

EE/OEGB

OEGB/RIR/BO/EE

* I sold 10 of the chickies already to a friend and her family... we THINK 3 roos and 7 pullets. It sill be fun to see if we are right, These are their 1st chickies =)

The other 5 are going to their new family today, they are really excited to get their new chickies

*Update on April Hatch: Put 42 eggs in bator on April 2, hatch day is around April 22. I candled the other night and took out 2 yolkers, so theres 40 eggs growing right along. I'm not going to candle again until lockdown.

*Update on broody hen: I'm going to candle sometimes this weekend. I dont think things are going too good, my broody doesnt like her area in the coop I think she would rather be in the thicket with her nest. I see her sitting on her eggs, but it seems shes off them alot too.

Big Chickies Now

They are out and about with the flock now and doing GREAT!

Meet Chipmunk... lil broody bantam

I bought Chipmunk out of the assorted bantam box at TCS last year... she was a cute lil chickie and shes grown to be a beautiful and sweet (when you can catch her) lil hen who has been hiddin her eggs in a secret nest in the neighbors pasture! I noticed she was missing last night when I locked the flock up and to be honest I dont know how many nights she hasnt come home to roost, cause sometimes my Ds11 locks the flock up. When I realized she was missing last night I was very sad cause I thought something happened to her. So this morning when I went to feed/water the flock I seen her come walkin up, I sat out there and watched her til she was done eattin and watch her walk to the thicket in the our neighbors pasture and she never came back out. Thats when I knew she's broody with a hidden nest! The neighbors got her and her eggs for me (8 of them), and I made her a nice dark spot in the coop, shes back on her nest. I'm going to candle some tonight to see whats going on...........

To Be Continued...

Around The Chicken Farm... part 3

All about roosters and guineas...

Chicken Noodle... keeping an eye on me, lol

Charlie... Heard him crow for the 1st time the other day, hes 6 months old now

Now lets talk about mean ol Sally Sue...

This is his new home during the day cause hes flogged me 1 too many times lately! I swear hes holding a grudge against me for locking him in the cage for acouple of hours the other day, cause now he just keeps coming after me! Last night I let him out to go into the coop and he came after me, I grabbed him by his tail then held him for awhile... but thats another blog =)


I think hes trying to tell him HES THE BOSS...
We are going to make him some kind of coop and run this summer and get him some more girls.

Sidekick And Elvis

(The only 2 left from my Nov. hatch, I sold them on Monday.. hated to see them go but I had too many roosters, 6... they started crowing here and there last week)

Some of the guineas... enjoying the sun shine

Stop bugging me with that camera!

*The only rooster I didnt get a pic of that day was Big Daddy.
