I’ve been pulling up weeds to feed to the chickens every day
But my hubby has sectioned off the area next to the chicken coop let the gang
Our to eat their fill
I was talking to the lovey lady I bought all the chickens from and she asked for an
Up to date pic of them. Especially the rooster
I told her he was growing and now crowing
And she informed me that Brahma roosters don’t stop growing until they’re Three
Years old!
He’s going to be a big boy
He may be big but he is a gentle boy and looks after his girls
Ana was here today and she was so much fun
She’s definitely not a baby any more. She’s a toddler and so into playing with grandma
She loves reading books
Climbing on the couch and then jumping into my arms
And sharing her food with Trixie
It’s been a wonderful day but I’m exhausted
Luckily I get a whole week to recover before I get to enjoy Ana for a whole day again
If you have a rooster does that mean you will hatch some of your eggs? Or is he there for another purpose other than looking terribly handsome.
ReplyDeleteThe plan is I hatch some eggs. Hens will be sold, hopefully. And the Roos will be processed for the freezer
DeleteAll that pecking around will reduce bugs that might plague your veg garden and fruit trees. Perhaps hubby could design a moveable enclosure so your chickens can be your roving pest disposal brigade.
ReplyDeleteThe plan had a flaw. The rooster can fly so he went over the fence and then tried to get back to the girls and ended up in the newly planted orchard
DeleteI had to catch him, while trying to not slip in the mud and put him back into the coop
Luckily he’s friendly and gentle. Because he could seriously do damage He’s massive
