Just watching Roofus doing his thing in the late afternoon shade of his enclosure 🥰. He’s so pretty!

Eve has decided she will be broody and it took me a while to find her! She’s scratched out a nest site underneath some of the taller weeds and I walked right past her - twice - before I finally realized where she was, lol! I have no idea how many eggs she’s sitting on, but I’m excited to see how many she is able to hatch in a few weeks 😃

I thought Tony would NEVER “get it” when it came to the chickens, but this spring he’s really proven me wrong in the very best way possible! 😃

He’s been working nights with the juvenile ducks and supervised during the days with the juvenile chickens that have moved out to their yard and hasn’t made even ONE mistake! There were days I was ready to give up on him but I’m so glad I didn’t! It’s so nice to have solid LGDs watching over the birds 🥰

For now, I have mostly Blue Australorps, Blue Ameraucanas, and a few other breeds sorted out and ready for new homes! I have plenty of Black Australorps too, but I haven’t gotten them separated out just yet. There are a few Silver Sexlinks and a few others in this group that are available now.

I will continue to sort the juveniles and I will have more available as I figure out how many I have of each breed and how many of them will be staying here.

If you’re looking for juveniles that are already outside, these chicks have been outside for at least 2+ weeks and are healthy and doing great! PM me for additional info.

Located in Ripley, TN. Pick up only.

We had an unplanned state inspection done this week and I’m happy to say that we passed! 😁 All the birds are healthy and the babies and juveniles are growing out well. One agent even told me that I have one of the nicest setups she’s seen on a poultry farm, which was great to hear!

I will begin sorting the oldest groups of juvenile chicks this week and as I get them sorted, I will begin posting what I have available. At the moment, I know that I will have Black and Blue Australorps available first, so if you’re looking for high-production egg layers, these girls will do that for you! My Australorps are my #1 layer breed.

I will have more breeds available as the younger chicks get to the age that I can tell the males/females apart and decide how many I’ll be keeping for my flocks for 2027.

My goose finally hatched the last gosling of the year! It’s a female that will be staying here 🥰

Just enjoying the sunset while watching the juvenile ducks enjoying their pool. It’s so peaceful out here 😊

Penny hatched 4 babies! The fifth egg didn’t hatch, but 4 out of 5 is pretty good 😃

My last “official” hatch of the year is out of the incubator! I have quite a few juveniles of various ages and breeds currently growing out that I will begin offering soon, once I can tell the males and females apart for sure and decide which ones and how many I need to retain for my own flocks. I expect to be offering different breeds throughout the summer as they grow.

If anyone wants baby chicks, they will be set and incubated upon request only. The vent-sexed breeds will only be offered straight run from this point, while the autosexed or sexlinked chicks can be offered as sexed chicks. It’s just too hot to sit in the 90° brooder room for 6-8 hours every Friday sexing chicks 🥵

I will have more Pekin ducklings hatching periodically through the summer. Ducklings are much easier to vent-sex and will be offered as sexed babies only. Once they get too big to keep in brooders, the males and females will be running together and I won’t be able to tell them apart again until the males develop their signature curly tail feather.

We will begin processing most of the male ducks later this month, so if you’re interested in ducks for meat, let me know! Pekin ducks dominate 90%-95% of the duck meat market in the US. They have a very mild flavor and are very tender, dark meat.

The geese have ended their breeding season and once my goose hatches the last 3 eggs she’s still sitting on, those will be the last goslings of the year.

Both of my peahens are sitting on their own eggs now, so I should have a few more Peachicks available once they hatch.

I just want to say a big “THANK YOU!!” to everyone who has purchased chicks, ducklings, goslings, and Peachicks from me this year! It’s people like you that make it possible for me to do what I love to do! 😃

I’m getting ready to rework my breed lineup for next year and I’d like to hear YOUR suggestions 🙂

As much as I love my Pekin ducks and Toulouse geese, I’d like to add another breed of duck and/or goose. I have looked at a LOT of options over the past several months ranging from common breeds to more exotic breeds, but I’m not sure which ones I really want to try. Some of the more exotic breeds will require me to obtain propagation permits and some (not all) would also require buyers to obtain personal possession permits (which is not difficult to do).

Comment and let me know what you’d like to see offered next year - it just might happen! 😃

Look what I found today 😃. I let her have one egg, but I suspect there is at least 1-2 more under her since she refused to budge off the nest yet. The first one has hatched and mama is NOT going to let me any closer to her baby than I did, lol! It will be interesting to see how the flock reacts to having babies with them. I’ve always incubated their eggs until these last few that I let her hatch. She’s doing a great job so far! 🥰

This just about sums up how I feel right now with all the rain we’ve been getting!  🤦🏻‍♀️😂🤣
