🐣 Today is hatch day for our next round of ducklings!

Any guesses on how many will hatch? We have 24 eggs in the incubator and I am already seeing a lot of movement!

💡 Quick Tip: If you want egg layers for next year, August is actually my favorite time to buy chicks and ducklings. Here is why August beats Spring buying:

❌ The Downsides of Spring Buying:
• Fire Risk: You have to provide heat. While there are safer alternatives now, traditional heat lamps are terribly dangerous. Two of our neighbors had house fires caused by heat lamps.
• Higher Prices: You will pay a premium because everyone else is buying at the same time.
• The "Freeloader" Phase: It takes 6 months for them to start laying. If you buy in spring, they mature just as winter days get short and egg production stops. You end up paying for 9 months of feed with almost no eggs to show for it!

✅ The Perks of August Buying:
• No Heat Lamps: The weather is warm. You just need a secure, well-ventilated area.
• Perfect Timing: Their 6-month growth phase happens over the winter when birds naturally stop laying anyway. By February or March, they are fully mature and ready to lay right on schedule!
• Weather Ready: By the time their feathers fully come in, the weather is cooling down, so they are perfectly set up for winter.
• Great Deals: Sales slow down at stores like Tractor Supply or Atwood’s. If you find a bin with mostly feathered babies, ask the manager if they will make a deal to buy out the rest!

If I could make one recommendation to anyone just getting into pigs, or thinking about getting into pigs, it would be to build your pens so that it’s easy to load them. There is nothing worse than trying to man handle a 250+lb pig (this one is probably close to 500lbs).

For the first 2 years, I struggled loading pigs on butcher day. It often took over an hour to get them loaded, and inevitably, we would both get our adrenaline going, which you don’t want for them. I was almost ready to give up when I had to relocate my pens, but decided to build an alley in front of their new gate. So all I had to do was open their gate and they can only walk straight into the trailer. This is my second iteration of the alley, but it is the easily the best thing I’ve ever done. Loading on butcher day will absolutely make or break your pig raising experience, and life is too short to wrestle 250+lb meat missiles.
