Sorry I Haven't Posted In A While. Nothing Really Exciting Has Happened As Of Late. I Got A Welder Machine

Gave the animals a pumpkin today and most is going to be set up tonight for wildlife. I'll try to get some pics of deer and other animals eating it.

🎉It's my birthday!!!🎉

I'm officially a year older than I was yesterday!

Not having a big party or anything, I'm just gonna go out with my Momma, Daddy, little brother, and Mema to eat.

I'm thinking of eventually starting a breeding project and would like to know yalls opinions on body type. Most probably wouldn't even notice much difference.

First off, cubalaya are much heavier/sturdier in body whereas the marans classic dual-purpose body type can fool you as to how much meat they actually have on them. Cubalayas are technically a dual purpose breed but most keep them for show. It's one of the rare breeds and most online breeders only keep the bantam varieties.

Personally I prefer the small comb and almost nonexistent wattles of the cubalayas along with the hens flat back in line with almost level tail.

What I'm looking for in my breeding project is

Color - white pattern red wheaten (finished breed)

Egg color - Speckled brown (not required)

Temperament - Flighty to escape predators

Foraging - excellent foragers

Egg/meat production - at least 3 eggs a week on the low end (most produce at least 4 a week) & good feed to meat ratio.

reblog and put in the tags your pet’s name, and the most ridiculous nickname you call them.

My poor sweet boy Sampson broke his spur off again. 😥

Not sure if it's the same one as last time. I assume he may have tried to get my other rooster through the fence and got it caught up.

Either that or he did it getting on the roost for the night, but I didn't see any blood on anything else. Couldn't find his missing spur either, and it's a big piece to just up and go missing. They're at least two, maybe two and a half inches long each.

Anyway, I went back inside after putting everyone up and grabbed a new syringe from the medicine cabinet. Filled it with water and grabbed the antibiotic spray from the pet cabinet along with the chickens' vitamin powder to add to their fresh water.

Went back out and rinsed it out good with the syringe. Then, I sprayed it with antibiotics and added a pinch of the vitamins to their water.

Hopefully, he'll heal up well, but I'm liable to keep cleaning it for a few days.

The chicks are getting so big! Sampson and Teryaki have been teaching them well. I've ended up with 3 hens and a rooster.

The little roo is quite interesting. He has a marking type that I've never seen before (half white middle toes).I was considering selling any roos that hatched, but I may keep this one at least a year to see how he grows.

I'm also considering getting more Crested cream legbars to breed to Sampson, his son Tim, and his daughter Cookie along with at least the gold hen. She looks the most like Cookie.

I'll be trying to breed to Cookie's standard. I've come up with a breed name as well. The Sugar Cookie Egger.

Another possible breeding project for me will be an Americana/Easter egger type bird to create a true breeding line of heavy foraging, flighty, good laying, predator smart birds. Preferably in whitetail deer brown for good camouflage. I'll be calling this breed The Deerhen.

Seth from Day Shift 2022. Anyone else think he's a cutie? I mean he's a total nervous wreck, he's got glasses, and a man bag. He's a total dork! So cute!

I keep my band-aids, gauze wraps, and ointments in the bathroom cabinet. The cough medicine, pain meds and other oral meds I keep in one kitchen cabinet. Vitamins are kept in the spot between my microwave and fridge on a small tray. I keep oral meds in the kitchen so I can use drinks to help swallow them down.

recently saw ppl discuss whether they put their medicines in a kitchen cabinet or a bathroom cabinet and i was shocked by the fact that many ppl said kitchen cabinet. so now i need you to reblog this and say where you keep yours
