4 of our chicks came from tractor supply. They are close to 6 weeks now. They were being sold as Starlight Green Eggers. Hoover Hatchery says they are “created by crossing the Prairie Bluebell Egger™ with a brown egg layer.” That second one is pretty wide open for interpretation. Lol One of...

They do have somewhere to go. They had a great day outside, and they're inside for the night.

Thanks!!

Our chicks are 5.5 weeks, and 6.5 weeks old. They’ve been going outside during the day for about a week, and they seem so happy. Well yesterday, we had high winds and a temperature drop, so I kept them inside. Today the wind is calm, and it’s bright and sunny, but it’s only 53°. It’s supposed to...

:weeThat’s all! Lol I just needed to be excited with people who would get it.

Yay! Thanks!

Whew! Don't want to give her a complex!!

These are my girls (I hope! 🤣), Gretchen -the one with more white- and Dutches. They are Silver Laced Wyandottes, and will be 15 weeks tomorrow. I've always been worried because they look so different from one another. I just keep going back and forth on which one I worry about. lol So, what do...
