Happy New Years

Henni and all the critters on the farm want to wish everyone a safe and happy new year....and be sure to hug those critter out there

Tigeress

I know I already did a blog on the cats...but thought I would share picture of tigeress...our bob-tailed cat , who was born here....

 

Yes I know it is cruel to put cats in a cage, but I wanted to make sure these two was bred together...tigeress came out of these two I think....

 

 

Here is another tom cat we have had in the past, spunky...

He took off with the neighbors when they moved ...they took him instead of their own cat...

 

I miss him, he was such a good cat/mouser...

Like I said before we have had several cats here on the farm..

 

Enjoy!

Henni...

Chickens...Egg layers....

I know I have made a post on Chickens before now...my bantam cochins...but this post is on the egg layers here on the farm....
In which I have had a few here....

 

I have several different varieties here on the farm..

I have had one Red Laced Wyandotte...I have had Buff Orpingtons , Cuckoo Marans, White Rocks, white leghorns, plus a host of mixed breeds.....and other breeds That I have not mention...

The leghorns didn't stay here that long as we tend to like the brown eggs better, don't know why, but we do...we have even had those Easter Egger chickens , you know the ones that lay the colored eggs ...no need to dye those eggs....the girls loved those when they was small....

my egg layers are now down to a few , since I have gotten burned out on them for awhile....I raised them as mixed breeds here and as pure breeds

.....so I have raised them for the past few years...during the spring and summer months as extra money to pay for feed....and to buy other things as well, like things to make pens with....

I Think I am down to maybe 3 or 4 hens right now..1 that is a standard cochin and buff mixed and the others are just mixed plus my roosters.....1 buff rooster( George), and 2 mixed red roosters ( Eddie, and Buddy)...they are old over two years of age except for Buddy who was hatched out last year....
they will stay here until something gets them or they die of old age....I am not to keen on getting rid of those I have left...maybe this next year , I will build a bigger pen or chicken house as you may say for some more but right now ...I really don't want o build one and get more chickens....I know camo girl want more chickens...maybe with the price of eggs being so high and the taste of farm fresh eggs. I might get some more younger chickens this spring or summer...just have to wait and see what next year brings....

                                                                         Enjoy!
