New top for the canopy. The Texas heat surely eats away the covers. The extra shade is a plus for the flock at this time of year.
04/23/2024
In other news, we have acquired new additions to our Ferme. These little guys are not available. They will be added to our flock and program. These are all bantams.

It’s a beautiful morning at the ferme. Woke up to Polish hatching. ❤️
04/21/2024
The ‘Lone Brabanter’ has arrived ❤️
04/18/2024
This is the Lone Brabanter.
This hatch was not the greatest. We had 6 hatchlings. We had no hope as USPS held up the embryos and in cold weather. They arrived on day 14 which makes the odds worse.
Of the six 4 were not fertilized. That left just 2. Of the two, one was a quitter when checked on day 14. That left this one. We didn’t hold out much hope as the air sack was very distorted. We thought for sure it was over.
NOT THE Case!
As you can see this one is strong, and a miracle chick. We are so happy to see its thriving, and by the looks of things could hatch any moment. It’s day 19, this lil chick is in a hurry ❤️

Added a windmill to one of the chicken areas. Fun!

Added some coop decor this morning. More to come!

The 6 1/2 week old Spitzhaubens.
It’s been a rough two days with so much rain. They have been in their run keeping safe, warm, and away from the rain. This afternoon the rain and storms finally moved on. They were able to get out and roam around this afternoon.
Growing up so fast!

It was the Wyandotte Chick's turn.
Today since the Spitzhauben graduated to the outside world, the Wyandottes left the nursery to the toddler room. It'll be their brooder until a kind human decides to adopt them.
They have plenty of activities to do in the toddler room. Happy sweet chicks.🥰

The Spitzhaubens have been exploring their new space. They seem so excited to be outdoors. The transition has been great!
04/05/2024
Today was a big day for the Spitzhaubens. It was transition day. Time for the move out into the outside world.
I Got up early and started in.
Started with going to get the transition coop off the backside of the property. I moved to my shop and did required maintenance on the coop. Cleaning, caulking, adjusting boards, putting in screws and more. Just making sure it's safe, secure, and weather proof for the Spitzhauben. After that, my wife and I started with retrieving the temporary fencing. This will add a division in the free range run space from the adult birds and the teens. After running the fencing, I then did some work on the soil. Did some leveling, raking, filled in holes and etc. Next, I brought the coop in, got everything situated, and brought the Spitz out. It took about 2 hours to complete the new space for the Spitzhaubens. They'll be separated from the adult birds until mid- June. By then they'll be big enough and by then the other birds will have adjusted to the new additions, thus making for a peaceful integration when it's time.

The replacement Polish are in. Unfortunately there were 4, but one cracked and splintered badly. Wax or white glue was not going to work. So, there are 3. Let’s hope all three hatch.
In this batch you’ll either have Tolbunt or Golden Laced. We decided this time around to do a dry hatch, let’s see what happens. 21 days and counting.

Beautiful day on the Ferme. Chickens enjoying the weather and eating fresh cut grass.
When you walk outside and find your rooster swinging on the porch swing, looking rather cozy as well. #thechickengoodlife
Spitzhaubens
What a cute surprise to come home to. The husband transferred two of the Spitzhaubens we are keeping for our program into a smaller yet roomy enough space for the two chicks. He fabricated a Rubbermaid bin and cut out the side to put in a window. We had some Plexiglass , so he repurposed it. Such a cute idea. The nursery brooder is now cleaned up for the next batch of chicks. I’ll announce the next batch in just a bit.
Hatchlings
It’s that time folks. Here’s a teaser 🐣🐣🐣UPDATE The Silver Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben hatchlings they are coming!
Paint
Next step to paint. And again the girls being nosey. And then there’s Bob, hanging with the dogs. Everything is ready for a new season and for the year.
Caulking
Such a beautiful day. We were able to finish what is known as the once a year deep clean, prep and maintain the coops. The solar fence had some touch ups and then we moved on to coops. First was to caulk. Of course the girls had to join in and hang with dad. Let’s also not forget our yard rooster Bob hanging out with his best friend Bentley.
Tonight was candeling night for the Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben hatchlings. There's 13 days left till the newest chick's hatch. We had 18 eggs, and after checking them all tonight we have 14 viable eggs. 3 were never fertilized, and 1 wasn't viable.
Chicken Fact of The Day
