Poultry Talk Ontario (pto.ca)

Violins please, sad violins, not sad like in a romantic movie where one of the couple dies because that's too dramatic but like the ones in a bugs bunny cartoon. Today I just bought my last bag of chicken feed, everyone will be gone by the end of the week. Feels weird but not that bad because I actually sold off all my older stock in spring, I told people not to feel sorry for me because I had hatched over 80 chicks and little chicks quickly become big chicks that seem to eat and none stop lol. I am pretty happy about one of the rabbits this week, she is at least 8 and could be 10, I found her a really good home to finish out her days so that makes me happy.

Glad you found her a good home!

Bittersweet huh? Congrats i think and sorry too all at the same time.
I just cleaned out an empty pen...felt weitd because its had turkeys in it since the beginning....
Lots of boys going here soon...to the freezer. Tonight will be figuring out if i am keeping any.

what yu gonna do all winter ?

Now what?

What they said.... ... :running-chicken:

Sad!! How will you survive???

It's nice not to have to do chores and my work hours often go late into the evening, so I didn't have time for the girls, but.. but... holy cow do I ever feel like I have made a huge mistake with this decision! Especially my Cochin bantams, nearly ten years of breeding, I feel like I sold a little piece of me lol.

You recently bird less people are brave. I'd be lost without my nightly head counting ritual, or grumping at the ducks about the mess they made, or laughing at the turkey trying to hump a boot. Very lost.

Or trying to get the youngsters out from under the trailer in pouring rain because " we're scared"! That was last night LOL!
