Four Wolf Moon Farm Canal Wi******er, OH NPIP #1870. Silkies. Seramas. EE & OE large fowl. Primary focus on coturnix quail. Hatching eggs and eating eggs!

Visits are by APPOINTMENT ONLY, we are not a public farm, but the ugly pink egg box at the roadside is open 24/7! We are Alexandra & Jim, first generation farmers located in Canal Wi******er/Lithopolis, Ohio. We married and established Four Wolf Moon Farm in 2021, named after our four founding "wolves" who shared our home with us at the time - Kali, Chance, Willow, and Hildy. They're not actually wolves, but they think they are, so don't tell them that...

Heyyyyyy we did it, team!

We set up a series of obstacles to funnel the guineas in. Now they’re locked up, probably all winter long now. They were sleeping in the cold rain last night and I couldn’t stand to see it anymore.

Also found a nest, so …. Those are going in the incubator because I have no self control.

Pro tip: play a loud country radio or AM talk station outside to keep the predators at bay. Have had one on 24/7 since the guineas decided to sleep outside.

I don’t think I’ve ever shown what I use for my big brooders - or maybe its been awhile - I feel like most of my quail pics are the hatchling brooders (Rubbermaid bins with puppy pads) in the incubator room.

I’ve got a Hatching Time brooder - which I do think is great but the floor grate is not easy to clean without hauling it outside to hose off, which means I can’t use this during winter at all. The adult HT stacks don’t have the p**p build up problem, for some reason baby p**ps are extra sloppy, probably due to higher protein % feed.

But the other two big brooders are just shipping crates from a kitchen cabinet company! For free! They literally beg you to take them!

One is about 4x4 and the other is about 6x4. They do work great for hatchlings, the insulation sheets behind them are for covering the lids for heat retention when I raise hatchlings in winter - but I often wait until they’re about 2 weeks old to move them from the Rubbermaids, then around 5-6 weeks I can s*x and sort them into groups.

Right now I’ve got 2 week olds under a heat lamp and 4 week grow outs in the bigger one.

Scroll through if you wanna see a curious pullet come assault my phone. 🤣

I spent months coop training these guineas. Everything was going well. And then one night a predator attack at 2am was all it took to ruin all that hard work. Everyone survived and is fine but the guineas never went back in again.

Now they all sleep here, a decidedly worse spot, but you cannot talk sense into guineas.

I suppose this marks the downfall of my guinea empire as surely they will be picked off 1 at a time by owls or other nocturnal predators who don’t even have to wait for me to have a lapse in judgment and leave the coop door open.

Can’t even catch the bastards after dark, because they’ll just take off blindly and end up somewhere worse.

Babies are hatching! My divider in the incubator failed and my chicks from Campbell's Quality Quail hopped over with my own eggs so now I don’t know who is who. 😩 I think they should probably be obvious - I only had pharoahs and falb fees in the incubator this time so anyone who is NOT that will be one of her precious little babies.

Happy anniversary to my dear husband 💕

Five years ago today, right in the middle of the Covid shutdown, we got married. We had a friends brother sign our papers at a Speedway in Etna and then drove to Three Tigers in Granville for lunch. When we got home we planted some daffodils around our mail box.

Love you honey, here's to another 5 more! And then 5 after that, and another 5, and then 5 again... plus 5... I'm not sure how long either of us are planning on living, but maybe 5 more again after that...

The last market of the season is tomorrow! And I’ll be honest I’m not sure if I’ll be going. I went on a mini road trip today and my spine is not happy with me in the slightest.

I do need to go see Bella - the little girl that does bracelets - I commissioned her to make something for me and I’d also love a chance to say bye to her for the year.

But as for me setting up and selling, I’m not sure. I’ll have to see how I feel in the morning.

I’ll make a post if I end up going.

If not for me at least go show up for the remaining vendors there tomorrow - 1690 E Main St Lancaster OH.

that's it. that's all i have to say. this is the post.

Good morniiiiing! It's early Monday morning and I'm getting my coffee in.

This is mostly a message to my neighbors who partake in my roadside egg stand - I'M OUT OF EGGS and egg production has slowed significantly:

I'm sure you guys have noticed it's been closed a lot this week. It's the time of the year the hens molt, and they stop laying during a molt. Some do a slow molt over the course of weeks, some do a quick and hard molt where they blow all their feathers (like the poor naked girl I posted this week) and get back to it.

Also after this we're heading into winter - shorter daylight hours triggers them to slow down on laying. It's not the cold that stops the egg production, it's the daylight length. We're currently at about 12-ish hours of daylight (730a-730p) which seems to be the tipping point to cease production. They'll still lay sporadically but we're at a mere fraction of the summer's supply.

Sorry to everyone who's going to have to go back to peasant eggs from the grocery store. It is what it is!

That said, I appreciate you all so much and even if you stop swinging by to check the box, I understand, and I'll hopefully see you again in the spring
