Light Sussex probably need another 6 weeks . Id still give one or 2 a go at 12 week see what they are like .
Yeah that was my thoughts.

Fed right a 12 week old chicken can be table ready .. depends what breed your using
I think broilers or cobbs would be fine. I've gone for light sussex for dual purpose so I'm unsure how they will be ar 12 weeks, maybe take a little longer.

Put a dozen eggs in incubator, these are from our own birds so suck it and see with fertility rate to start. This is the start of my chicken production line for meat now, will be Incubating 12 every 6weeks. That is so as the brooder becomes available the next set of chicks are straight in it then the ones from brooder will move outside for 6 weeks. I plan to cull a couple at 12wk and see what they are like, if they are too small I will grow them on longer. It would be ideal if they make a good enough size for the table at 12wk old because that would fit into the 6wk cycle, I.e. cull the 12wk birds so the ones from the brooder can move into the pen..... but I doubt they will be large enough, we will see.

Just be careful with the auto door I’ve known them come down and poultry get stranded outside then become temptation for the fox still pays to check their all roosting happily tbh .
Yeah will be checking it mate, certainly for first few weeks make sure it is set up right.
Just with work sometimes I'm home late so I'd rather have it shut than waiting for me!

Love this thread absolute admiration to you mate, your out there and doing something about improving your life,and I recon the kids have a lot more to talk about at school than most of there class mates on a Monday, brilliant
Appreciate that GM. I am trying to show them what can be achieved on a relatively small space. They will have more to talk about but the sad fact is that will probably make them the wierd ones as they aren't on FB all weekend! Little lad is ready to tell everyone how he plucked and processed his own turkey for Xmas dinner!

Not much gone on this weekend because I've been tryna get this van sorted!
Went to see abbottoir/butcher yesterday and I think this is the pigs last week, all being well they are going for the chop next Monday 15th. Still trying to decide about getting another two grown on before I turn it to veg plot or whether to just wait now till back end of summer. Think I am guna wait to be fair. Really wet and muddy underfoot so chucked the pigs some more hay in for their last week, probably end up raking most of this up when they go amd sticking it in composter.
Getting a couple of eggs a day off the hens now, I expect this to start increasing. Was hoping to get some nesting boxes knocked up this weekend but didn't get round to it, need to sort em sharpish though so they know where to lay. Cockerell is doing his duty with the girls so guna get a dozen eggs in the incubator and see what fertility is like.
Ordered an auto open/close door for the hen house to ease the requirement for me to be in/home on dark etc.
The two turkeys are.due for cull as soon as I get some spare time to do it. Might be one evening this week, depends how work goes.
Garlic and one set of onions coming on well, bottom corner of second pic.
Got big chest freezer coming back this week ready for the pork....looking forward to first roast and first sausages off em.

My lad converted a VW and put this Bed come storage space in.
Cheers Arry
I've looked at a few options and undecided as to what I'm going with at the minute. Could do with atleast 1 more sent in the back with a belt so might end up going rock and rolla seats. But then I want the flexibility of removing similar to what DS has said above.

Thanks guys. Me and the misus def wanna bugger off in a van for a bit once the little uns have flown the nest but that's a fair way off just yet with youngest being 7!

Well I will be doing the last 2 turkeys this weekend for the chest freezer and pigs will be going in the next couple of weeks so now I'm down to just easy chickens I needed summat else to give me too much to do.........
17plate vivaro sportive that I'm guna convert to a camper. Need to think on design so it will work for me getting fishing tackle in for weekenders and France trips but also works for family and actual full on camper trips so guna have to get the sketch book out.
Van needs a bit of work but was part of a bigger deal and already owes me nothing, so it's a free swing as far as I'm concerned!
If anyone has had a go and knows any pitfalls let me know, or if people have a camper and know good sites/routes/resources aswell stick em on
R lass said there is summat f***ing wrong with me. Cant sit still, rather be busy than bored

Anyone lumbered with the bottom of the barrel?
Yes, well and truly.....though we have nowt to do with them so lumbered probably isn't the right word anymore.
f***ing waste of oxygen shithouses who don't deserve the daughter who is my wife and mother to my kids. Quite how she ended up as beautiful as she has (both in looks and personality) is beyond me.
Mother-in-law is an awful fat c**t, picked her drink up and turned her back on my little girl at a family do........my girl was 5/6 Yr old. That was it for me, I flipped. Nearly f***ing chinned her, wish my mother was still around because she would be done it for me. Don't mind people having an issue with me or whatever but to try and take it out on a child? Who at that time called her grandma.
Sister-in-law is her Bessie mate and about 24stone of tattooed pierced foul mouthed c**t....which I told her, I think that was the beginning of the end.
Father-in-law hasn't spoken in years, since he crashed into my car, on my drive, and drove off?!?! Apparantley according to brother-in-law he is waiting for me to get in touch?!
Worst thing is I lost my mam at 16 and would give anything for my kids to see her just once. These pricks live 4miles away and CHOOSE to make no effort to see their own grandkids.
f**k em, better off without.

Going t raise my own Turkey next year when would you recommend getting them?
These were hatched mid/late Aug and made 9-11lb birds once dressed. If you want a big un I'd say get em in May/June. For me this size was perfect though. Plenty of meat, good fat on em to keep em moist. 8 turkeys at 10lb go through some feed like.

Turned out bang on lads. Great flavour and it was moist, unlike any turkey I have had before. Homemade gravy with the juices and giblets. Felt like it's all been worth it already. Then to top it off one of the hens is now laying full sized eggs too, Merry Christmas!

Well don't think did too bad of a job with these three. I was guessing with the string and just tieing them in, assuming there is a knack or method to it so guna look into that. One of em looks like its being held f***ing hostage!
My lad got involved as always
