Foxglove Fields Charmed I'm Sure
DOB 3-18-26
Broken black tort
Out of broken orange x orange
He is so laid back and his type is one of the best I have produced. He would absolutely stay, but I am buck AND broken heavy with lots of the same genetics still here.

Do you weigh your does to help determine if a pairing was successful? I have used this scale for 2 years to record senior weights and track babies that appear to be lagging behind their siblings. I am thinking I will start using it to weigh does to see how accurate the weight-test is!

Safely apprehended and back in the baby brooder since she is apparently liquid and can squish through things she has no business squishing through!

Um, ma'am. You don't belong under the coop!

When adding to the flock, how do you introduce new members?
I like to keep teenagers in a wire dog crate in the covered run for a bit where the flock can see them. After a while, I introduce them to the coop overnight.

Today is the first day the laying ladies had access to their new coop. I am pleased to say all eggs have been in the intended spaces! Good job, ladies!

Bronze Baby is so sad she is still here! I got updated pictures of her - she is coming out of her uglies! I do think she will go over weight despite both parents being true dwarf, but she would be a good brood /parts girl, or a good companion.

Shed to coop, complete! I used scraps from other projects to make the roosting bars and to hold the nesting buckets. They can't roll or be pushed around. It has an automatic door and a raised foundation for predator deterrent. It butts right up to their secure, covered run so they have oodles of room without fear. (Last year, a fox came in broad daylight and snagged a few so... nope!) This should be a lot easier on my back, and should definitely last longer than the 18 months​ the TSC coop I bought did. It will hold triple the hens and had I paid full price for the coop I had, all told, this only cost me $50 more, including the custom built raised foundation and automatic door!

COOP DAY!!! I had a TSC coop that my flock outgrew (and it didn't last 2 years, which is insane!), so I decided to convert a plastic shed. Foundation is built, so now it's time to move the old coop, level the area, and make the final alterations (cut the door, etc) and bring the girls into their new luxury condo!
