Sagetown
Farmer and a STIHL
Mail Ordered 25 baby chicks 21 weeks ago. 10 White Japanese Blacktails,
and 15 Miniature Buff Orpingtons. Lost 3 in shipping. Had lots of
Cockerels which went into the freezer at 16 and 18 weeks of age.
Ended up with 4 Buffs, and 3 Jap pullets, and 1 Jap Cockerel.
Finally, today at 11:00am while I was working in the Barn,
I noticed one of the pullets was missing. At 11:45am she was back with
the flock, so, I checked the nest boxes. Nothing; but, for some reason
I decided to put my hand into the boxes and feel around the pine chips.
Walla, a tiny egg. These little biddies were expensive compared to back
in my earlier years of buying from a hatchery. I've always wanted to try
purebred Bantams, and now that I'm retired, and the kids are all on their
own, I have time to relax and enjoy these friendly little critters.
Here's my 1st Egg Producer of the clutch.
