More deviled eggs and here's a chicken egg for size now.

07/19/2024

Here's a set of 11 from 2 batches a day apart. We fought to survive these ones. These ones are also for my trucks paint job payment. Trading work for work is pretty rewarding, instead of money.

Deviled eggs, quail sized. I don't think you can go any smaller just about.

06/19/2024

17 out of 23 is a 75% rate...they began pipping on the 14th after detaching the rollers on the evening of the 13th, hatched out on the 15th and finished before the morning of the 16th was over. Early birds get the purple light sooner. This is day 4 and before the week is over they'll be outside with the quail growing out for the new property and the payment of my trucks paint job, this is only a quarter of the birds I'll need though for that project. More to come by the end of the week again too. I love this job. The only thing that fails is your knowledge to know how to do it so keep doing it. Healthy Poultry Life = eating for life.

I grew the green beans and the gizzards..lol. The potatoes are canned. I like my food burnt it's not pepper overload.

Lemon pepper chicken legs, amazing bird.

It's that time of year again where eggs are for sale for cooking and baking. Reach out to me and support my life.

They enjoy sunbathing with me.

Administering fowl pox vaccine this weekend. Anyone with chickens over 3 months of age is welcome to administer with me that have not received it or your unknown of it in an older bird that gets random scabs, no cost to you but tips are appreciated. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We will have a 2 week recess and readminister again for further completion of the virus.

Thats a meat bird gen 3. The color is almost orange and almost red but mostly firey.

03/07/2024

Dinner in my hand. Jk bc my relationship with dinner animals are better than yours.

02/24/2024

Quail room just updated with a brand new pen.

02/04/2024

Trying my hand at teriyaki chicken tonight. 2 thighs and 2 legs later this is what it looks like.

11/15/2023

Bucket full of meat from yesterday. 6 birds plus livers and gizzards.

11/11/2023

Well, looks like now i need to build a rabbit habitat on the farm.
What a wonderful dinner we had tonight, filled with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Doesnt take much to make me happy especially if its saving money in the long run.

I bred a half bred meat rooster to turkens, granted he is big like a meatbird but not a true one and i expected bald necks and mostly white with color and then some big b***d birds. I got a meat bird still with no bald necks. The neck is complelety feathered.......i did not expect this heavy of a gene to carry over so far into a 3rd generation...now I know what my boy can do, infact im planning to use him again to see if i can even get bald necks to come from the turkens genes.
I mean that is all meatbird!

Boys with face/head masks, future breeders.

It might not live here on the farm yet but the lamb was spectacular, there was enough fat around the edges to cook it to its desired tenderness on a low/medium for about 45 minutes.
*Spices included salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon lime basil, and a touch of butter to heat the pan.
I still like beef steak but if I had to choose id use lamb as a substitute. Smaller walk in freezer, smaller animal, less time to rest the meat.

Wheres my 5th turken? Somehow theyve been constructive with housing of their own.

10/10/2023

Still some albinos with glow in the dark p**p that i CANT catch on camera for proof. But it is yellow to the eye. See the stain? Its more visible in person. It goes away after a day once their system kicks into full gear eating and drinking. I have been using meatbird feed start to finish, no medicated chick feed....

10/01/2023

Ive butchered 70 quail to this day. Eatin is good around here. One day itll be nothing but raising meat. Around 20 days out of the month I am supplying the meat for my family at dinner, the rest of the days we eat, are what we dont raise yet...and thats every month.

09/27/2023

19 out of 29 healthy babies that all walk so far. I tend to get splayed legs from my batches more than anything else. No the 1 isnt splayed just playing dead. Incubation at its finest now. This batch had no albinos, but their p**p sure glows in the dark, thats still a traight right? 1 seems to glow but not much, mainly the p**p.

The 7 batch is a week old and still going strong as albinos.

09/22/2023

Fertile hatching eggs up for grabs. Proven albino traits under purple light. $1.50 an egg. Limitations apply. No fertilization? Send a pic under light at 4 days of incubation and ill send you an extra egg next purchase. Pick up only.

**Relearning incubation again (new incubator) and going batch by batch right now. Would hate to see these go to waste for someone trying their hand at incubation themselves, or someone who just has the room to incubate right now. I raise for meat which comes with breeding.

09/18/2023

Well dinner was really good tonight as usual. 2 carcasses, green beans, carrots, and your usual celery and onion plus spices. Also yellow rice was an add on plus a side salad.

09/13/2023

Making more palm fertilizer again, 2 pens worth.

09/12/2023

Ground cleaning, making fertilizer for the palm trees.

09/06/2023

Its that time of month again, incubation. Hoping to take some month or 2 off after this again. Fertilization is 99.9%, I have new girls breeding to the same boy. Hes a magnificent creature.

09/02/2023

Larsens alfalfa compressed hay available per section, 70.00 and 50.00, 2 slabs available. This was a half piece pasture block. Broken apart for ease but will need to load themselves. I only have 1 horse now and would like to make available, portions in cheaper amounts to nearby people who dont have a couple hundred to spend at once. Clean hay. Not covered but under cover. This is only a week old as of today.

The spots in the sky are them as well. They knew i was down here taking pics. Decided theyd slow down for the camera.
