my man drumstick has been alone for a while after watching all of his hens murdered in front of him, one by dogs the other by...uh. well i don't know she just disappeared. i had been looking for hens i would actually want to keep, ie a white egg layer since i don't have one right now, but alas. he just needed girls. the co-op had three in their bird coops so i took em home.

cochin crosses? orpingtons? who knows. they are cute and chubby though but i don't need/want more brown eggs 😩

I’m looking into getting some hatching eggs from a place not too far from here that seems really good, they have lots of rare and cool breeds.their website says they’re sold out of Faverolles but I’ll call tomorrow and find out if they’ll have them anytime soon, otherwise I’m looking at Bielefelders, Heritage Plymouth Rocks, Swedish Flower Hens, and Hedemoras, or maybe even Hmong chickens! I’m interested in these landrace breed that they have, since the chicks would likely hatch with a nice variety of colors, patterns, shapes, and features which I really like in my flock. They’re not cheap, but since I can drive there I’d save on shipping (it’s probably safer for the eggs too) and I’d really like to move away from hatchery birds and get more high-quality, healthy and friendly birds.

four goose eggs went into the machine, two were empty at two and a half weeks, one stopped developing at three, and now the last one has been in lockdown for like four days and nothing is happening

last year all my eggs would die right before they hatched, developed until the eggs turned dark and then never emerged. i bought a new incubator and i'm having the same goddamn problem over again

i am never going to be able to repopulate my sanjaks are i
