It might just rain! ππ ill update lol π
Why cant I get lucky and find a free coop on the side of the road?ππ
I watched this too many times lol ππ€£
Just came back inside. I gave everyone fresh water and food. Quick coop clean up. Picked up trash. Now i only have two hours to clean my house before I have to get my kids from school... π
Not enough time in the day. Now dishes or laundry? π«
So this happened this morningπ
I noticed she was being extra pushy this morning following me all over the yard while I was feeding everyone. Usually means she wants pellets instead of corn or her water is empty or dirty (shes spoiled lol)
So I pulled out my camera thinking she was gonna do something cute like lead me to her empty /dirty pond but nope I find this. Lol
She is a hero! Lol ππ
I was outside feeding my bantam cochins and my husband went with me ... he asked how those little things make me any kind of money? I said well they actually dont π
lol
So he went on to tell me we are losing money feeding them. If we eat them they are like two chicken nuggets each and eggs are tiny. So im waisting money keeping them bcuz they are "cute" I know hes saying truth but ughh they are so cute!
At what point do you decide you have to get rid of a animal due to a situation like this? I have probably 14 bantams and most are roos π¬
Im really thinking about it since ive been more on keeping brahmas.
Maybe sell or cull roos and keep 3 girls and 1 roo in a small coop?
Ughhh sometimes I hate listening to him lol π
As a breeder how do you respond to customers not having a good hatch rate? Or destroyed packages and eggs?

Cleaning up one of my outdoor brooders and the looks these cuties are giving me lol!
I moved them over to a little cage and they are so disturbed they definitely don't appreciate it lol.
These little bantam cochins are up for rehoming. π
Blue black mottled, calico, furness bantams.
I have too many growouts that I dont know what to do with lol! π¬π
