I raise Serama chickens and their the coolest little bird. So colorful. This little man's name is Willie.
I bet he makes a right Racket in the morning eh?!!
He trys to. To be such a little bird he has a big heart, he Chases the big chickens around, he doesn't take any shit, lol
We have probably 25 chickens, 10 turkeys, and 50 ducks 5 geese and an additional 30 or so Muscovy ducks we let hatch this spring for meat. Supposedly they are a really lean red meat similar to game animals. I get over a dozen eggs a day. I wanted to get some cows this year but the prices near me were stupid high, like 4 bucks a pound live weight for year olds. Oh we also have 18 horses we use for business. I have 40 acres tucked in public hunting land so I get plenty of deer as well.
Sounds like you have the set up. I've been wanting to look into getting a couple cows myself. We got just over 37acres, about 10 acres of that is timber rest is all farm land. I lease out my fields to a local farmer so I don't have to maintain them plus plus I make money off of it. There's another 26 acer farm across the road from me that were going to try and buy this coming spring. Gotta buy all the dirt you can you know what I mean
Will be eating these once fully matured.
I just lost my dog after 12 years. She was the best. Not sure how to post pics. I been trying to post pics of my yard and house.
Sorry for your loss man.
Go to the comments box at the top mate where you would normally enter your Text, click on the 'IMAGE' tab next to 'COMMENT' and then upload it from your computer. You will need to save the image on your computer, or do it directly from your phone if you use that to read the site bud.
LMFAO!!!!
A couple of our birds
Whats the difference between these ones and the bottom white and black ones then?
Their the same breed of chicken just a different color. There's many many different breeds of chickens and they come in all sorts of patterns and color.
Ive got some goats they are great for clearing fence lines and brush. I also have about 12 beehives I started a few years ago. Honeybees are tough now a days with the varrao mite population but I think it's pretty cool.
My Nigerian Dwarf Goats, their names are Sal and Beeftips.

God that sounds so good right now. I'm 4th week into a cut, even with the reta I still want the fun stuff.
Yeah a Bacon sandwich with either Brown sauce or Mustard!!
I want some pigs but the wife says no.
We had 4. They can definitely be a hassle.
They can also be handy to have around
What 'Ave I told you about thinkin Harold???!!
You like dags?
Proper fucked? That movies great.
And a Pikey reaction is quite a fackin thing ....
Now, it had occured to me that the Pikey had taken the demise of his mother rather lightly .....
Just a few of my birds.
Blimey - the Turkeys are quite a bit bigger than the chickens are eh???!!! Do they not fight with each other?
For the most part the turkeys and the chickens get along just fine, every once in a while the female turkey will get cocky and try to push the chickens around.
Is the female turkey the Big Black and white one there?
