BarredBuff's Homesteading Shenanigans

[BarredBuff]

Well the chick bug has hit! Mom has been wanting more Australorps for a few weeks SO guess what!!

We just placed an order for 15 Straight Run Black Australorps! Chick bug has hit!

Where did you order them from?

Cackle Hatchery.


Morel, go on and place an order for them and have em shipped in 4 monthes or however long you need.

Oh I want to...I am just afraid that if this house doens't sell and we have to rent the other one out we might not have a place to put them!

Risk it! They are worth it. It will work out.

Im good today!

I added 5 nests to the coop today. Ordered those Australorps. Mom is tickled by the way. Did some things for the dog.

So tell me about your Autrolorpes...do they lay well? Do they brood thier own young?

5 nests?

I still have 6 weeks to wait for my chicks.....

Well I put em in because I need to attract a broody to raise some BAs. I dont know when these will ship. We should get a confirmation tommorow.

RU has one BA. Last year, she hid a nest, then hatched out 9 chicks. 1 was born w/ a defect, and died, 3 drown b4 we found them, and 1 got eaten by a hawk. Out of the 4 that were left, there were 3 cocks, and 1 pullet. The boys found new homes, and the pullet has now started to lay.

Cackles BAs are supposed to be broody. So hopefully every chicken will hatch some out.
