Four Boys Poultry

Just a little something to keep in the back of your mind.

Check out these beautiful Welsummer eggs that are about to go into my incubator. With any luck I will have a bunch of these ladies producing little gems like this for me everyday. FYI they look much darker in real life.

A few weeks ago we received our shipment of Bresse chicks. Unfortunately they spent an extra day just sitting at the distribution center. The extra day in the mail caused a large number of fatalities. I was left with only 5 chicks. Of these chicks one is much smaller then the others. I’m thinking possibly it’s a different breed. Because of this I will be getting another shipment of Bresse when they become available. This is an example of how the experience of shipping chicks through the mail can go. I have had worse and I have had better. Just make sure your prepared.

Exciting news! We will be raising White Bresse chickens this year! I had a few of this breed a few years back and have been anxiously waiting to get my hands on them again. They were fantastic layers and an excellent meat breed. The hens were friendly and curious. I will keep you posted on how this batch from Greenfire Farms grow out.
