32-hours, Same Pay. This Is Progress.

Yall she's done it again. She's claimed her pizza box throne.

I'm thinking of eventually starting a breeding project and would like to know yalls opinions on body type. Most probably wouldn't even notice much difference.

First off, cubalaya are much heavier/sturdier in body whereas the marans classic dual-purpose body type can fool you as to how much meat they actually have on them. Cubalayas are technically a dual purpose breed but most keep them for show. It's one of the rare breeds and most online breeders only keep the bantam varieties.

Personally I prefer the small comb and almost nonexistent wattles of the cubalayas along with the hens flat back in line with almost level tail.

What I'm looking for in my breeding project is

Color - white pattern red wheaten (finished breed)

Egg color - Speckled brown (not required)

Temperament - Flighty to escape predators

Foraging - excellent foragers

Egg/meat production - at least 3 eggs a week on the low end (most produce at least 4 a week) & good feed to meat ratio.

Gave the animals a pumpkin today and most is going to be set up tonight for wildlife. I'll try to get some pics of deer and other animals eating it.

The chicks are getting so big! Sampson and Teryaki have been teaching them well. I've ended up with 3 hens and a rooster.

The little roo is quite interesting. He has a marking type that I've never seen before (half white middle toes).I was considering selling any roos that hatched, but I may keep this one at least a year to see how he grows.

I'm also considering getting more Crested cream legbars to breed to Sampson, his son Tim, and his daughter Cookie along with at least the gold hen. She looks the most like Cookie.

I'll be trying to breed to Cookie's standard. I've come up with a breed name as well. The Sugar Cookie Egger.

Another possible breeding project for me will be an Americana/Easter egger type bird to create a true breeding line of heavy foraging, flighty, good laying, predator smart birds. Preferably in whitetail deer brown for good camouflage. I'll be calling this breed The Deerhen.

This is SO messed up yall!

Colored oreo and commet for Christmas. Don't worry, it's 100% pet safe!

reblog and put in the tags your pet’s name, and the most ridiculous nickname you call them.

Seth from Day Shift 2022. Anyone else think he's a cutie? I mean he's a total nervous wreck, he's got glasses, and a man bag. He's a total dork! So cute!

Sadie was laying on my momma with her arms stretched out like this today. She's a weird cat.

My most recent chicks who are still indoors till I'm able to get everything situated for them.
