Im not gone but maybe forgotten?

Well it has been a while!  Spring turned into Summer and the posting just dwindled away...
I'm going to blame it on all those little mouths needing food and attention and boy did we end up with lots of little mouths!
If anyone needs some chickens (or 2 drakes!) please just ask, I have enough to spare and more....
Next year, no hatching!  Maybe under some broody mamas but that is it.  Remember to remind me of this next February when I am eyeing up my incubator again!
We ended up with 300 + chicks running around, all different ages and stages and wow was that a lot of work.  Fun but a lot of work.
Also raised 6 ducklings up and sold the 3 females and 1 male to a girl in a nearby town starting out with her first waterfowl stock.  Hope she does really well with them.



Heres a pic of the young ducks before I sold them:

And some of the chickens we raised up this year:



Some pretty Cornish Bantams we tried



Black Silkie hen that set for the first time in June

And she had some luck..

6 out of 7 hatched!





So lots of little ones and now they are turning into big ones but so is my feed bill!
