Thanks for updating us! Score on the coop coming with the new house.
Sounds like you have quite the flock! I bet the elderly folks who receive your eggs are very appreciate.
Congrats on the keets! Guineas are fun. I keep a flock as tick control.
Good luck with incubating! Be careful, it's addictive, haha. I went from a little homemade styrofoam incubator hatching a few duck eggs to a Sportsman hatching emu eggs, and everything else in between.
Thanks for popping in to say hi! Sorry to hear about your losses :( Golden Comets can be prone to health issues as they get older - the high rate of laying is hard on their bodies. It sounds like you did what you could for them.
Thanks for checking in! Hopefully you will decide to get some chickens - this is definitely not the place to be discouraged from it, haha. We are all a bunch of chicken enablers here :P
Sorry about your losses :(
It does sound like you have quite the assortment! Good luck with the flock additions next year! Favs are a great breed. I love their fluffy faces and coloring.
Sounds like a ton of work!
I'm also gearing up for spring. Starting to build breeding pens for my Ko Shamo bantams, building a new coop for the chickens and turkeys, and hatching eggs like crazy.
