Since I only have the 5 hens, I’ve been keeping records of how many eggs were laid each day. I was very happy to see that for the month of June we got 143 out of a possible 150 eggs! That’s amazing! They haven’t skipped a beat since June 12th, I wonder how long their streak will last…….

Meet the flock!!

Red band = Gertrude
Green band = Rosie
Orange = Olive
Yellow= Willow
Blue = Beckaw!

These gals are Bergs Brown layers ( a red- sexlinked hybrid) and they are productive! We’ve been at 5 eggs a day for almost a full week. Even had two double-Yolkers already!

Lucy (the Rottweiler) had to sneak in the last photo, as she didn’t want to be left out of our impromptu photo shoot……. So far she thinks the chickens are friends, not food.

While trying to get a few last minute photos for the Fair June 13th and 14th, I got this quick snapshot of Willow peaking out of the nesting boxes!! Isn't she cute?

I'm hoping to post the photos of each hen tonight with the names I finally decided on.......... so stay tuned.

We finally hit 5 eggs in one day! Congrats ladies, you did it! Not bad for 19 weeks.

…and yes, they all lay in different nests, so I had to move them for the pic.

The girls enjoying a little treat this morning!

Hooked the girls up with a dust bath (mostly sand) today! To say they were excited is an understatement. Haha.

We have consistently been getting 2 eggs a day since Friday. Today we finally got that 3rd egg!

Someone was excited about her move! We already have our first egg.

Well, that hiatus didn’t last long!!

After some thought, I decided to try going back to beginning of my chicken journey.
So here are the 5 new ladies that are currently on the farm.

Yes, they are just a hybrid layer, but that’s all I currently need right now. They just hit 18 weeks old, so I’m hoping to start seeing eggs any day now.

Anyone have any name suggestions?

Red band-
Yellow band-
Green band-
Blue band-
Orange band-

….. and go!

Hello Everyone,

I know it’s been a while, and I just thought I would give you all an update:

After much consideration, I have decided to take a step back from the poultry world for a bit.
This means, I will have no hatching eggs, chicks, or adult birds for sale anymore.

I’m not sure how long this hiatus will last, but like I always do, I’ll let you all know.

I’m still available if people have questions on genetics or if they need help Finding certain breeds within Canada, I just might not reply immediately. So, please be patient with me as I transition to a time without my main focus being chicken related.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. All the best to you in the new year as well!

Respectfully yours,
Derek.

My pair of New Hampshires I got from Rico in Alberta. They might just be my new favourites! The pullet finally got back to laying this week.

Looks like momma Wyandotte did her job! I have 5 babies so far!
