It’s been a busy weekend!
Some rabbits hopped to their new homes, our meat birds were harvested, and concrete has been poured for our chicken coop!
Tomorrow we will be cleaning the barn & building the chicken coop, so we can get our girls outside and comfortable. Plus, we need some bugs eaten!
4D & Marge were both put in with bucks, but I’m unsure if it was successful due to the heat, they more-so just relaxed. Gambler will possibly be bred tomorrow.
This was Lane & I’s first time butchering chickens together, the way we found was so quick & easy. Definitely will be doing it the next time around with some adjustments. Now that we have it down, we will be ordering around 75 next time!
Next weekend, we will be harvesting a few rabbits & possibly a few more meat birds who needed a bit more time to grow. Our meat birds were all different ages as many were “donated” to us (due to injuries or being too “old/big” or we got them when on clearance.
Peep Cobbler, our bronze turkey! His poor wing broke today, so we will be watching him (it’s probably a “her”) to see if it can heal without too much trouble. It was a freak accident, but my fault. I truthfully don’t expect it to heal, but I’m really hoping it will! Otherwise, he may be on the list for next week:(
