💔 Farmer Loses Entire Watermelon Harvest After Brutal Hailstorm

A South African farmer has sadly lost his whole watermelon harvest after the recent hailstorm. What was meant to be a season of sweetness turned into a field of shattered fruit.

This is a heartbreaking and expensive blow — a reminder of how hard farmers work, and how quickly nature can take it all away. 🌧️💔

Farmers carry heavy hopes on their shoulders, and moments like these show just how tough their journey truly is.

This is our worst fear. That's why we make sure we offer poultry sessions. I wish to see the actual farmer of these birds, have a chat with him/her and maybe offer 100 day old chicks

HOW TO IDENTIFY GOOD EGG-LAYERS IN YOUR COOP

◇GOOD LAYER

~Wider and longer body, perfect for frequent laying.
~Bright red comb and wattles — clear signs of health and fertility.
~Large gap between the pelvic bone and the breastbone, about three fingers fit.
~This spacing means the reproductive system is active and the hen is in peak production.

◇POOR LAYER

~Narrow, compact body shape.
~Small, pale comb and wattles — showing low hormonal activity.
~Small gap between the pelvic and breastbone — only one or two fingers fit.
~Usually lays few eggs or is past her productive period.

☆》Observing body structure and checking this simple measurement helps you spot which hens are still productive and which ones should be replaced.

Incubation Periods of Bird Eggs
The time it takes for bird eggs to hatch varies widely depending on the species.
Successful hatching requires consistent warmth, humidity, and in most cases, the regular turning of eggs.
Here are the typical incubation periods for some common and domestic bird species:

Chicken
Incubation: About 21 days
Notes: Requires stable temperature, humidity, and daily turning.

Turkey
Incubation: Around 28 days
Young: Called poults

Quail
Incubation: 16 to 23 days depending on the species
Japanese Quail: 17–18 days
Bobwhite Quail: About 23 days

Duck
Incubation: Generally 28 days
Exception: Muscovy ducks require about 35 days

Goose
Incubation: 28 to 35 days depending on breed
Smaller breeds: 28–30 days
Larger breeds: 32–35 days
Guinea Fowl
Incubation: 26 to 28 days
Notes: Comparable to turkeys in duration

Peafowl
Incubation: 28 to 30 days
Notes: The female typically carries out incubation alone

Ostrich
Incubation: 42 to 46 days
Notes: Both male and female share incubation duties

"You're trying to make ends connect regardless of how our economy is, how high unemployment rate is, but you trying. You decide to focus on livestock farming and you know it can take so many years to have more livestock but you gave it a try anyway.

Sad thing start when it is seen that your livestock is multiplying and then BOOM things go bad and thieves decide to do you dirty by stealing all your livestock!

The pain of waking up in the morning and think that you still dreaming cause all your livestock is gone! No cows in your kraal! You go mad, wtf is happening?! The traumatic experience you face, you even go almost all places tryna search your cows hoping you'll find them and when you do you find them slaughtered and left like that:

Our Hen was sick, yesterday suffering from an airway obstruction, so it became an impromptu lesson in anatomy for the kids as I prepared her for dinner. This is undoubtedly one of the most incredible things to find, when opening up a hen in laying season: a fully formed egg waiting to be laid, and several yolks of various developmental sizes around the o***y. When you do homeschool, you learn real life.

Hi Farmers

Here are four important questions to ask yourself about the role of a rooster in your layer chickens flock in South Africa:

1. Do you need a rooster for your hens to lay eggs?
- Hens will lay eggs whether or not you have a rooster present.
- The main role of a rooster is for fertilizing eggs, making chicks possible if you want to hatch your own.
- If your goal is only to collect eggs for eating, you do not need a rooster.

2. Does a rooster help hens lay more eggs or bigger eggs?
- The presence of a rooster does not boost egg production or egg size in hens.
- Egg laying is mainly affected by breed, nutrition (protein around 16-18%, calcium 3.5-4% in feed), and good management.
- Stress, poor diets, disease, or bad environment reduce laying far more than the presence or absence of a rooster.

3. Are there other reasons to keep a rooster with layer chickens?
- Roosters can help protect the flock from some predators, especially if your chickens range outdoors.
- They help maintain flock order, sometimes reducing fights between hens.
- Roosters can be noisy and may sometimes injure hens through over-mating (ideal ratio: 1 rooster per 10-12 hens).

4. What should you consider before adding a rooster to your flock?
- Local regulations may limit keeping roosters due to noise complaints.
- Having more than one rooster can cause fighting and stress in the flock.
- If you don’t want fertilized eggs, or if you only want eggs for consumption, a rooster is unnecessary.
