Riverside Farm & Feather Genetics

Just going to reshare this since its that time of the year.... chick season!

What a sad day on the farm.

This pair was the foundation of my chocolates, the pair that sparked my passion for this color. I loved this little duo with my whole heart.

Last year, at 8 years old, my drake passed away in his sleep. These two did everything together: swimming, sleeping, eating, even sitting and hatching babies side by side. He was never far from his girl.

After I lost him, she never paired up again.

Yesterday, I noticed she wasn’t as quick… she had slowed down, and I knew in that moment that age was catching up with her. Truth be told, she wasn’t much chocolate in color anymore, age had turned most of her feathers white, but she was still just as special and beautiful to me maybe even more so. I had hoped I’d have a few more months, but it just wasn’t in the cards.

My little chocolate girl passed away today in her sleep, just like her mate. ❤️

I like to think he was waiting for her the moment she crossed that bridge.

Fly high, fly free. I am beyond grateful they are reunited. My heart my be hurting, but I bet hers is whole again.

🤣 Ive learned its way easier for me to save for something specific for the farm with a way to keep track like this.... its a little incentive to get to color in each spot. So on to the next saving tracker! This one is specifically for all of the concrete for the barn.

👀 peep the little ducks!

❤️ I will begin going through some of my silkie/cochin grow outs this week and will be posting a bunch. Birds available will be posted and fcfs after they have been posted. Ive decided im going to begin the process of downsizing to get to the numbers I will actually want within my barn so ill have some of my adults available as well as I begin this process.

I won't be responding to messages regarding available birds until I actually post them available... I also won't be doing a list.
