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.
The chickens are staying warm tonight! Also, I checked to make sure it wasn't getting hot in there, and with outside breezes available, the heatlamps aren't making the coops hot.
reblog and put in the tags your pet’s name, and the most ridiculous nickname you call them.
I gave Sampson some peanuts and he decided to stand in the planter. He should be keeping an eye on his hens in the back yard but I guess he wanted a break. So I guess his daddy is keeping an eye on them.
Just put together my first mic set (ignore the mess). Hopefully I'll be able to record for audiobooks soon.
Made this simple recipe I found today. Ham and egg breakfast bowls.
Ingredients
Eggs - one for each muffin mold.
A bit of melted butter
Circle slice ham or turkey
Veggies of your choice
Cheese of your choice
Salt & pepper or other seasonings
------------
Instructions
With melted butter grease muffin tin and place deli meat inside to make a bowl shape.
Add a pinch of cheese on ham, then add an egg to each bowl.
Next add veggies more cheese and seasonings.
Preheat oven to 400°F or aprox 204°C.
Once heated, place tin in oven and cook for 15 min, occasionally checking to make sure the egg isn't overcooked or the cheese burned. It's alright if the ham looks a little extra crispy 😉.
Once cooked, remove, cool, and enjoy!
Teriyaki's babies are getting big! Unfortunately, we had a raccoon come through on a killing spree and had five of our chickens taken. Tulip, Curry, Pepper, Basil, and Cotton. We've overhauled our security and are planning on making a large coop with an even bigger run to hopefully prevent this from happening in the future.
Also, there was a forest fire a few counties over that made smoke come through in the morning. I thought it was just fog, but my parents said it had been smoke.
You can see why I thought it was fog. Kinda thought the mist was happening.🥲😆
So she's produced more eggs and I think it's my Easter egger that's laying them cause they're more green in color. The lighting doesn't do them justice. Cause she's more of a pet breed her eggs are on the smaller side. None from my two other girls yet but I'm hoping they'll start laying any day now.
I tried one of her eggs today with two store bought and hers wasn't as strong flavored as the store bought eggs. Don't get me wrong they were good too but hers had a milder taste if that makes sense? Something about the store bought ones was stronger or perhaps more pungent?
I was also thinking about maybe getting some brahma eggs late this winter to hatch out. My red and white rooster was one I hatched about two years ago now and he turned out to be a handsome mix of golden pheonix and golden comet breeds. ⬇️
This is Sampson
Cleansing themselves in hot water will make your human “feel human” again. It is unclear what species they feel like before the cleansing.
