Thankful to Have Rehomed another Rooster

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. 

Late Season Ticks

Late Season Ticks

Not sure if these are a more dangerous tick, or less, or the same, but it’s the first time I’ve ever seen Ticks, Wood Ticks we’ll call them, this late in the year! Although I know people who are still picking garden vegetables and that’s unheard of too! However, I just wanted to let you know, so you can keep an eye on you and your pets and try to avoid tick problems. I’ve also never seen such tiny ticks, the whole thing makes me wonder! 

Seeking Garden Wastes and Old Vegetables

Two Goats Milking At Briden Farm

So, it’s that time of year when we all have garden wastes, Halloween leftovers, pumpkins, squash, old hay and straw bales, etc. As it happens Goats and Chickens love all those things! So, if you’re wondering what to do with your old pumpkins and straw bales and so on, our critters would love to have them. You can drop them off, come feed them to our animals when we’re here, or we may even be able to come get them. We can also make use of your raked leaves and yard scraps for our compost.
