It’s just this year that the predators have seemed to realize we have chickens. I have already lost one of my most fun speckled layer due to what I believe was a fox. A few weeks have passed by and I lost a year old beautifully splashed Silverudd’s hen and then her blue hatchmate shortly after. Considered very little signs were found, the fox was a suspect again in their case. I have since culled some of the roosters who didn’t seem to have the best protective instincts. All of my adult layers with the exception of one rooster with unclipped wings and a persistent free-ranged hens have been locked in electric fencing. What I couldn’t keep confined was the small growouts who can squeeze through the fencing still. Well, one of them, a splashed Silverudd’s Blue was attacked by a hawk in the early afteroon today. We looked and confirmed on the cameras. I was home. It happened right in the front yard. I didn’t hear a thing despite being home. They weren’t deep in the woods. They weren’t in the open. They were so close to the house I didn’t click with me the hawks spy on their potential prey from the branches and of course, the chickens with white plumage are easy to spot. The loss this year makes me think about how I want to change things because I cannot afford to feed the local wildlife like this. Months of work and tons of money lost. I’m not even angry anymore, even though I cried in helplessness when I found my girl who laid those insanely speckled eggs missing. I’m just tired. And I don’t take anything for granted anymore. I’m so thankful the three pullets I had hatched from the heavily speckled layer survived the attack. Even though my heart is so happy when they free range, and when I see them enjoy the grass and bugs so much, they will need to remain in their run.

I know many people go by live weight, but to anybody curious how I pick which bird goes first around here, this is how. It’s called the “try me” or “mad pe**er” method 🐦🐤🐧 If I’m afraid to handle you, it means you are more than ready to hit the freezer

I wasn’t planning on 12 am processing but one of the meatbirds developed a resipratory issue. My thing around here with poultry is, I cull any birds showing respiratory signs IMMEDIATELY. I don’t wait. A sneeze is enough. I cannot risk having all of my birds wiped out. I have antibiotics on hand just in case but I won’t use it on a single bird, especially a meatbird ready for processing.
Soooo… Another freedom ranger dressed out at 5lb 10 oz at right about 12 weeks old. One thing I noticed that the previous rooster didn’t have was the fat in the body cavity. Quite a nice layer of yellow fat around the vent area!
I’m pretty happy with the results, but I gotta say, plucking these guys by hand is a pain 😖 so much work just for me to eat it in a span of two days.

The first Freedom Ranger I processed was just .3 oz shy of 4 pounds dressed at almost 11 weeks old. In addition to that, I got 12.8 oz of organs - lungs, gizzard, heart, liver, feet and neck. He was not the biggest in the bunch but he had to go since I was scared of him - a MAD pe**er.
The first thing I noticed was thick skin, and huge feet on this guy. The breast was rather modest but he made up with his thick legs! I’m excited to try these birds! He is resting in my fridge for now, organs got frozen to make soup and maybe some dog treats.

Well, I guess it’s not just my smell sensitivity but there was indeed a dead creature hiding in my hayport 💀 I have seen cottontails everywhere in the yard lately and judging by the remains, it was probably one of them. Considered the heat, humidity and decomposition stage, it must have died in the past week or so. Both gross and fascinating because I have never seen that many maggots. Once again, wild rabbits are NOT my friends 🤦🏼‍♀️

Poppy seed cake brings me back to childhood when it would be served during many family gatherings, especially Christmas and Easter. Often disliked by children, but popular amongst many of the old aunties at family functions who chatter and praise how moist and “not too sweet” the dessert is. It feels good to bring old memories back ☕️ Now made with milk and eggs from my chickens 🥛🥚 I miss Poland these days
