Busy last 24+ hours. Started by running up to Brier Hill Cottage to pick up some juveniles after work to tag along with ours headed to Heavenly Hydrangea Silkies in Massachusetts. From there back to Albany for a family thing for a couple hours. Before leaving the area we swung by Ledgerock Farm for a visit to see how things are progressing. 4 hours back home & my recliner is calling my name.

Everyone going to Massachusetts has been picked up, put to bed with food & water, fresh hatches out of the incubator & in the brooder. Just need to capture one's from us going in the morning & head out.

Everyone's always hot nuts wanting Silkie chicks until they find out they're not Tractor Supply priced Silkie chicks.

After being asked multiple times a week & at least once daily if I had any available chicks.....
I now have a handful of chicks with another set currently in lockdown.
I will be headed out to western Massachusetts early Saturday morning & The Albany area afterwards for the afternoon for any early birds looking to meet along my travels for chicks or a free cockerel. Otherwise I will be home Sunday for anyone wanting to stop by.
Leaving roughly 6am arriving in Massachusetts around noonish & Troy,NY for a 2PM family thing.

One cockerel down 40 more to go I suspect.

55 Juveniles out in the growout shed & I see alot of peckers in that crowd. If you’re looking for a free boy I have Black, Blue, Buff & Partridge. As soon as I get a Thursday off they’ll all go to the livestock auction.
By they I obviously mean the cockerels. I know I better clarify that before I get inundated with request for free or auction price pullets.

More babies due next Monday & Friday but thats the last of the BBS eggs.

Scoring the conditioning cages on Marketplace today. 1 double decker & 2 triple deckers. Pennies on the dollar. So much easier cleaning than the ones with the clasp where only 1 door opens.

Everyones getting their pens cleaned, ivermectin & a Brazilian.

Just sent 7 standard freeloaders & their 7 Rouen Duck friends down the road. After I do some repairs of their 8x12 coops floor & some deep cleaning that will be another place to winter birds and hold juveniles.

Will have some extra Silkie chicks in hatches April 3rd (apx 1+ dozen), 7th (apx 1/2 doz) & 11th (over 2 dozen) in these varieties. The first hatches are the last BBS from our breeding as we sold them off to make room for other varieties we work with with limited infrastructure to house groups separately.
Black
Blue
Splash (if any)
Partridge (select)

I do not ship chicks.
Pick up locally in Hornell,NY

All the brooders with tops, available breeders & both John Deere mowers are all sold. Only chicks once they hatch & alot of cockerels sprinkled with a pullet here and there from here on. It was a long expensive winter on unemployment.

The Blondes of the Silkie varieties, prove me wrong.

Miserable weather. Looks like a couple days of lounging around catching up on naps. Next weekend doesn't look to promising either.

Were gunna get this fertility on the money one way or the other. Brazilians & Manscaping for everyone.

After starting to go through my growouts last night while banding I came to the realization to keep future chicks off the top of the damn feeder. It destroyed their crests with most having flat tops that could also be bonnet crest from running it back n forth on the chicken wire top of the brooder.

I know….I thought you shut the incubators down. With some selective hatching for friends/ family & the constant messages for chicks it has begun 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣
It never gets old, only the constant cleaning & chicken dust.

Escapee inside The Henitentiary. Mr Cheese looking like he wants to start a fight for the Parti girls

Brooders & Henitentiary bedding all changed. The BBS & Buff 2 shed will have to wait till a nicer day so I can use the tractor bucket for old bedding.

Yes I know, poor you it’s the end of the world because I moved 2 new boys & stole some of your girlfriends.

Both incubators are officially empty. If you wanted chicks but snoozed, ya lost. I had multiple people come clean me out the last 3 days & no plans to fire back up other than small sets of Buff as I check fertility of new boys soon. I have hatching eggs, handful of 8 weeks olds, 2 free Partridge boys, 1 free gorgeous Buff boy is pending I had picked as my #1 draft pick to use but found a slight single comb & any other future culls. Finally have a few Splash
