Thankful to Have Rehomed another Rooster

No Comments
Dusty The Rooster

One of our goals at Briden Farm is to breed the “Broody” back into our hens! Which means having a number of chicks, and of course some of them are Cockerels, or Young Roosters. We always have a use for them, as they make good food. Although, since we partially hand raise them, we much prefer to find good homes for them. 

So, when someone contacted us today, looking for a Rooster, we knew it was a good day! Once we met them, we knew Dusty would have a good home, and we’d have new friends. That’s the icing on the cake, when we meet new farming friends! 

If You’d like new friends, or new Roosters, or both, come visit us at Briden Farm, Bear River, Nova Scotia.

Goldie & Her Chicks

Sometimes, when Chickens are setting on Eggs, it happens that you forget the exact date they started, and the day of expected Hatch! This was the case with Goldie! I’ve been going out, everyday, for nearly a week, and talking with her, and making peeping sounds, to see if anyone would answer back! I was all but giving up! 

Then, just now, my Better Half, come in and said to come meet the new Little Ones! There they were, two beautiful little chicks! 

We’ll keep You posted as hopefully she may have a few more! Or, better yet, come visit us at Briden Farm! We have lots of Chicks and Ducklings, and other birds and animals for you to see! Friends and Family are Always Welcome!

Very Happy To Report Hop-A-Long Has A New Home

Hop-A-Long

We raised Hop-A-Long, with another chick known as Precious, they both come from a person in the Annapolis Valley who sold us a bunch of Aracana Chicks. She was selling them as “Pure Aracana” although we knew they were actually mixed breed Easter Eggers. What we didn’t know was they, or more likely their parents didn’t get the proper nutrition and a number of the Chicks ended up becoming crippled because of it. Anyway, when most people would have tossed them, we raised them. Also, along with them we raised a little chick who come to us after being literally rescued from becoming Snake food! We call that little Chick, now the large white one in the video, we call her Boots! So, the three in the video grew up together. We’ll be keeping Precious and Boots, and we’re now Very Happy To Report Hop-A-Long Has A New Home…
