BarredBuff's Homesteading Shenanigans

Yeah, you could root cellar them, but if you need extra space, now you have an alternative to root cellaring

Why doesn't she like Welsh harlequins?

Thanks for the suggestion, I will keep that in mind. Me and Gran went out and sowed brocolli and cabbage plus a carrot patch

Not Welsh Harlequins just she dont like Ducks that much. However I do. But we SURE do not need more laying hens.

Were going to order 25 cornish crosses from Cackle and I can get an FFA discount. But I have to have ordered 30 birds. Ducks are sold out so that leaves chickens. What would you add to it? I was think either trying a new breed. Like Wyandottes. Any suggestions?

White Wyandottes! they are beautiful!

would suggest Blue Laced Red, but i don't think cackle carries them.

whave a silver laced wyandotte in our group of hens and shes just a sweetheart and one of our best winter layers.

They Columbian Wyandottes that catch my eye. But I did some research last night and its 82$ for 25 CXs, and 5 Wyandottes with shipping. They still havent told me how much the discount is. But I dug a little more and found that I can get 25 broilers from Welp for 40$ including shipping. So if the FFA discount of an obscene amount then thats the direction I will take.

Wow...I'd go with Welp for sure! That FFA discount won't be 50% of the bill little buddy. Welp is the way to go. Oh and you know what breed I'd say..Delaware

Well I didn't get anything done...too much grass in that other spot, gonna have to get a tiller out there. Where the tractor broke it up before is a huge rut, and I need the tiller to help level that off as well. Plus I got a HUGE blister right in the palm of me wittle hand so I don't mind not getting it done today. Gonna do much needed house work instead, and DD has a Dr. appointment after lunch anyway, and I am dropping her off at her grands because I NEED a BREAK!!!
