We have now TWO Silkies laying eggs!!! These are tiny eggs that we won’t sell for eating just breeding.

Here is one of the videos I took as the first baby was hatching at school. We had an hour left in school and I was so worried they wouldn’t get this experience but they did!

We incubated 7 of our own eggs in my class this month. We had 5 of them hatch yesterday. The kids were so excited! The other 2 eggs are still in the incubator for another 24 hours just in case.

We said bye to 5 roosters yesterday! Our 3 silkies (Cottonball and the twins), Chester (one that we hatched from our own flock) and Big Boy (one of the originals) Big Boy had sadly become bottom of the pecking order and the others were always crowing.

Our girls are going to be better off and healthier now. You should only have 1 rooster to 10/12 hens. We will be right at this ratio now.

We are sad to seem them leave but know that’s what’s best for our flock.

Just a short clip of some maintenance and routines in the morning. Luis got up and started trying to improve the chicken coop this morning. Here is just a snip sped up of him working.
