Let the hatching commence!
Day 20 ๐ฃโจ๏ธ๐๐
Who else has been dealing with a crazy amount of predators this year? ๐
I want to know what kind you all have been dealing with and how many birds they have set you back.๐ญ
We have had 4 Foxes, 5 Racoons, and 2 Skunks.
Thankfully none of our coops have been able to be broken into. But that hasn't stopped these critters from trying or from learning our patterns with our free-ranging egg-eating flock.
We have lost about 10 birds this year and that is with MANY plans made to keep them safer and long nights to make that happen.
There is 1 Racoon and 1 Skunk left making attempts at our poultry. Hopefully soon we won't have to worry for a bit about these guys coming around the property.
*Old Video, but thought I'd share it to yall.*
Tell me what's been after your livestock this year?! Is it more than you have typically seen or about the same as years prior?

I finally named her....Cashmere.
This beauty is an F3 Blue Wheaten Olive Egger we hatched about 8 or 9 weeks ago.
She is sweet, stunning, and we can't wait to see what color her eggs turn out to be as we continue watching her grow out!

I hope everyone's livestock is hanging in there throughout this heat wave!

๐ผโจ๏ธWHEATENSโจ๏ธ๐ผ
-Ameraucanas
-Marans
-Olive Eggers
These birds are not only STUNNING and Rainbow Eggers, they are also EASILY Feather Sexable by 2-3 weeks of age!
Sure...it's not at hatch like Cream Legbars, but it IS the next best thing! ๐
I have had several people inquire how to feather s*x Wheatens over the past few months, so I thought I'd share an example!
These are two of our Wheaten Marans, they just turned 2 Weeks Old.
Males will have darker coloring on their wing feathers, while Females will keep the lighter wheaten color throughout. โจ๏ธ๐ฃ๐ผ๐โจ๏ธ
This same idea works with the Wheaten Ameraucanas and Wheaten Olive Eggers.
