Indeed, haha! Quite the busy place over here. Well, I've always had Buffs and they've been the first breed I ever owned. My mind juggles if I should get some Lavenders' in my next (future) order of chicks. Orpingtons are wonderful!
Hello and thank you! Indeed so, there's a few here and a few there... turn your head... oh, look, another chicken! Haha.
That's wonderful, how many birds do you currently have if you don't mind I ask?
Currently, I have 20 hens and a rooster, a tom turkey, and a gander. The numbers have dwindled since I left the homestead and returned in May.
This fall, I plan on raising a batch of broilers to can up and stock in my pantry. Then, in the spring, culling the current laying flock and sending them to the pantry to replace with some young birds. Probably White Plymouth Rocks and Buff Orpingtons. Also, adding some turkeys and more geese. If I time it right, I may raise another batch of broilers to keep the pantry full.
