Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on the past few days its been a little busy! I had to go spend the night at my dad house last night as he was gone and needed someone to take care of the dog. Then Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday was spent working on the "chicken coop". We finally got it finished and have all the broiler chicks moved out. Nick went to work Tuesday and asked some of his co-workers if they would be interested in buying the meat from our chickens.... The people at his work wanted 20 and then my grandma wanted 10 on top of that and our family wanted to have some so my grandma and our family will probably be splitting the left over 7 that others didn't buy... Nick called and told me to go buy the rest of the chicks left at bombgars and thats what Vironica and I did... we took a dog crate into bombgars and left with 22 more chickens so the final count for broiler chickens is 27.... that brought us to a total of 31 and then to 32 when on Friday morning Vironica and I drove about 40 minutes to meet up with a lady and pick up a rooster. The poor rooster was stuck in the back of the trailer with loose horses because the lady was dropping off her horses somewhere and I think he may have gotten peed on lol he was a little wet... Anyways I checked one of wiese's eggs tonight and I thought it looked like it was fertile, so I asked around on facebook and multiple people said yes they thought it was fertile too! So for the next 10 days I will be collecting wieser's eggs and getting ready to incubate them! Thankfully the incubator I ordered came in pretty darn quick so I have it on standby waiting for eggs :) Wish me luck! Here's some videos for you guys!!!
The above video is a video of the Rhode Island Red pullets that I curently have in my room haha and below is a short video and kind-of review of what I think of my incubator so far.
Above is a short video showing how vocal my new rooster Gabe is... If you don't know me personally the names don't make sense wieser and gabe, but if you do then its quite a funny joke!!! Down below is the finished product of the farrowing building re-model.... the chicks are all nice happy and warm even though the temp the past few nights and most of the day today has been below freezing.
