It’s this time of year, when the days begin to lengthen, and our Hens begin to lay more, and more, it’s a sure sign of Spring! It may not be here yet, in fact we’re having a small snow storm today, but it’s coming and it’s just around the corner! I can feel it in my bones! Or maybe it’s just the Cold!

Today we had 18 Eggs! Possibly our biggest days since starting the Farm! Last year, five or six of our hens got broody and hatched 🐣 about 30 Chicks 🐥
Now, those Young Chicks have grown up and they’re starting to lay! We still have too many Easter Egger Roosters! Our Roosters are naturally hatched, well handled, and gentle! They also come from a good line of Flock Protectors! Maybe you can give a good home to a Rooster?
The nice thing is, going out to the Coop and seeing the nest boxes full of eggs! Whether the eggs get eaten, or we make Pickled Eggs, or they get used, or Sold as Hatching Eggs, it’s always nice to have an abundance of Fresh Farm Eggs!
Nothing says Spring like the beautiful sunshine that pours out of a fried egg! No matter how it’s cooked, it’s eggactly what the Season calls for!
In fact, not only do we have lots of Fresh Hen eggs from our Chickens, We’ve also started getting Muscovy Duck Eggs! 🥚 🥚 🥚 🥚 🥚 🥚
So, in the weeks to come, we should not only have lots of Eggs, but also have lots of Chicks and Muscovy Ducklings! 🐥 🐥 🐥 🐥 🐥 🐥
So whether You’re looking to come embrace, the fun, at Briden Farm, and spend some time with our Chickens and Ducks, and Goats, and other Animals, or You’re looking for Hatching Eggs, or Chicks, or Ducklings, or whatever you’re looking for, hopefully we can help! Or help You find it!
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…
