Jodief100--- random stuff and BIG news

Been super busy. I got the hoophouse done and the oldest birds are in it. i only have 2 hens left, the rest are roos.

I candled the eggs in the incubator last night. Most of the big ones have growth but there deon't seem to be anything in the small ones. Oh well. This is my first time using the incubator. I am really excited to see how it works out! Hatch day is the 25th.

Soooooo busy. I need to get to bed early so I am am calling it quits for the night.

I picked up 50 Golden Laced Wyndottees today. Turkeys should be here tomorrow or Friday.

I had to get the big bird brooder cleaned out and new bedding put down. Then I had to get the brooder lid modified on the shorter box for the turkeys.

I only have 3 hens left from my first batch 5 weeks ago, sales are doing well. I am almost in the black for the year and still have 200+ birds.

Poultry swap on Saturday.

Work is crazy.

I am very tired.

I probably missed it, but what incubator did you end up getting?

If we can work it out, when Delbert comes for his goats, maybe I can send you some silkie eggs to try out. I'm not getting many but you're welcome to some.

I got a tabletop version to play with. If I get good with it and an make some money I will get the big one. I can't remember the brand but it was a cheep one, $140 including the fan and turner.


The turkeys came in!!!! I picked them up at lunch and they are in my car.

The Midget Whites and the "hatchery choice" which appear to be more midget whites, a lone Narragenssett and some I can't quite place.

These I am not sure about. I think the one on the left is a Spanish Black but is the other one just a lighter Balck or is it a Chocolate? Or am I completly wrong?

The browns with the white patched heads are chocolates. I love them!

edited to add: I think you are right on the black one being a black spanish.

Whatever they are, they're cool looking! Now I want turkeys. Thanks a lot, Jodie!

They are pretty cute. Baby animals for the most part are.

When they call, that "Peep-peep-peep-peep"...?

Reminds me of the song, "Oh when the saints...." They just never get to the "go marching in" part....lol.
