Thank you! Im glad they have all been healthy and happy.. even with the constant rain we have the past week!

Quick picture update!!: well no easter eggers haha I have what looks like speckled Sussex 2 pullets and 2 roosters. one of my roos stunning! I love him! The reds are doing great all looking like pullets :)

Ok! The only material we actually purchased for our build was hardwire cloth so a little more wont hurt anything... eventually we will add a door and wall in everything but for now its all we have done

Here is my coop. Chicks whent out today and I am soo nervous. Even tho we are pretty sure nothing will get in the run. Im very new to chickens and would love any input!

Of course I was told they were all easter eggers but ive accepted the incorrect labeling from the boy at TSC. Always do research!

this one is from the same "bin" but its one of the suspect roos much brighter and has tons of spots

Live and learn, for sure!

So ive determined tsc had no clue what they were doing. This bird is looking more like a speckled Sussex. No pretty blue eggs for me! Ugh. Thats what I get for not doing my research :(

I used a old water trough and just threw a piece of fence over the top and boards to hold it down so nothing could get in or out! On the end I just lay plywood for easy access inside. They love it way better than the card board box I had them in at first in the bathroom! And its big enough...

Amazon and with free shipping!

I just ordered some off Amazon. I havent seen a better price anywhere else. Hope this helps!

So I currently have my 8 chicks (3 weeks old) in a water trough brooding box in our wood shed. My husband likes to work on things and listen to music in his shed which sometimes leads to 9-10 at night well after dark. Will our moving around mess up their natural time clocks? I dont want them to...

Almost 3 weeks. This is the only one of the 4 EE with such bright coloring.

Im way too excited about this little guy/girls new feathers! Absolutely gorgeous! !

I purchased basically identical chicks from tsc. I was told they were easter eggers. Yours look 2 weeks or so older than mine. Im looking forward to finding out the girls from the boys!
