Lil sneak peak of the aviary!

I added our old giga brooder inside so I have a communal space for my grow outs. As they mature I release them into the aviary. I have another one of these aviaries in the box still and I’m going back and forth on building it. So many ideas, it’s hard to stick with just one. I definitely need to make another tiered cage for breeding projects. Again so many ideas it’s hard to stick with one!

Projects I’ve had in mind/ones I’m passionate about:
-Expanding our Jumbo Black collection
-Separating out my Celadon Tuxedos
-An Autosexing line
-A progressive pied line
-A silver line
-A Jumbo White/Brown line for meat

I have a few other breeding ideas but I gotta keep some tricks up my sleeve! 🃏

I built a brooder box!

Measures a little over 7 feet by 2 feet. So much room now for all my chicks (and more to come)! I still need to build a lid so I have tote bin lids to cover it right now, but later this evening I’ll make a lid. I’m loving it and so do the chickies ❤️

Newest additions to the farm!

We got more guinea pigs! After Milo passed, and honestly for the last couple years, I’ve been wanting to add more pigs to the herd and I’ve been wanting to do another litter. Well we get to the swap and who parks next to me but a very kind man with a ton of guinea pigs 😂 $5 a piece and he gave me the mom for free! I couldn’t pass it up!

We have mommy pig and 2 of her babies, a boy and a girl 🥰 Mommy pig is Lucille, and the babies are Russet and Fern! After a quarantine period and a couple weeks of fattening up Lucille, we are going to cross her with Einstein, a stunning tan Abyssinian boar. Russet will be a new partner for Pumpkin, who has been very lonely since the passing of Milo. I am so happy to have these little guys in our home. Guinea pigs have so much personality and I can’t imagine our home without a room filled with guinea pigs. 🐷

Yall I’m tired! I feel like I say that everyday but swap days wipe me out. So much fun and I love seeing everyone but omg I come home and plop. I got home, got everyone situated, set some eggs in lockdown and now I’m just laying on the floor 😂

We brought home 3 new additions to the family. I’ll be announcing them later once we have names picked out! They are so tiny and cute! 🥰

Sometimes all you need is to shower, drink some ice cold water, and eat a Caesar salad that’s mainly dressing croutons and Parmesan cheese 🧀 ❤️

Sorted out some hens and Roos for a friend! I spent the entire day prepping for the swap tomorrow. I love going to the swaps, seeing everyone is such a blast. Hardest part is not coming home with anything 😂
