i think rusty was just going though a juvenile stage. i think this because he has stopped attacking my mom and dad. he attacks the turkeys, and two nights ago, the turkeys attacked him, and he bled a little, he is OK.
rusty.
rusty, our rooster,has started to attack mom and dad. he has not attacked me, but rusty dose not let me pick him up. i hope he is just going through a juvenile time.
Cornish rock!
a wile ago, we got ten Cornish rock chicks. do not be confused with Cornish cross chicks. two of them died:c. now, they are so big, even thew they are still chicks. they must be 1-2 pounds already. look up cornish cross chickens, or cornish rock chickens. next time we are getting meat-eaters, we will get ranger chickens, who wont have a heart attack because they are so big. we also will get ranger chickens because cornish rock are not very good at getting to the coop and back, and we take the food out so they cant get to it, and the other chickens are starving in the morning.
ducks
about 5 weeks ago – sorry i didn’t post sooner!- we got pekin ducks! we also got Cornish rock chickens- i will post in a wile. at first, we got two ducks, but then we went back to the store and got eleven more ducks, so now we have 13 ducks!the females and a male we can keep over the winter, so we can hatch baby ducklings! we have not seen baby ducklings yet, because the ducks we got were a week old, so we are very excited about hatching baby ducklings!
chicken name!
Astra’s chick has a name now! its name is rural. we think it is a boy, but we hope it is a girl. rural looks just like Astra. i wonder is soaring – eagle had hatched them, they would have looked like her, or gotten some of her magic. soaring – eagle had magic to escape anything! she was a small jersey giant chicken. we think she used her energy to get magic instead of growing
missin chicken
soaring- eagle is missing! she is black, with rainbow sparkles if she is in the sun. she is a jersey giant( not very big!). if you think you see her, Keep her safe, and comment, “got her.”. pleas find her!
hatchling!
Astra hatched a chick!it is white. it is a green queen- breese chicken cross. or a rusty- queenington cross. we named it a rural- queen. its name is-okay it has been weeks, and i cant think of a name for it! post in the comments what you think it’s name should be!
soaring eagle & queenington.
soaring eagle & queenington are getting pecked on by the turkeys. queenington is okay, but we had to put soaring eagle in the chick tractor! her neck has a bald spot, but she will be okay. we are making a about 100 by 100 pasture for them, so they should not do it for much longer.
hummus and radish.

Astra is broody!
Astra is broody! Astra is one of our best layers. when she stopped laying we figured out that she was broody! our breese just started laying, and we want to hatch them, so it’s perfect timing for her to be broody!
