DITTO!!!!
Same here! Can't get enough and afraid I'll miss something important. Espesially on hatching chickens.so glad I am not alone!
So glad I am retired and get to stay home with the animals. The chickens are always glad to see me ( not really they just want fed)! Young ones at the basement wanting in because it's only in the 40's today. They go in a rubbermade tote for the night and I use small heavy coated wire on top. They snuggle together and are quite content. I offer water and feed before I go to bed. So yes these will be hard to unspoil. As soon as I get a dog kennel from oldest daughter the chicks will have to stay outside.

Woohoo! Two of my nine turkey eggs have external pips, and the rest are all internally pipped! I'm super excited! FIRST POULTS EVER!
I just added 4 Rhode Island reds to my babies.
Looks like black australorp hen. I have a few breeding pairs for sell right now in lower al.You know, now that I asked Mom they were all from dark to lighter red. My pop got them from a feed store so I'm sure they were hatchery. That may be why they were so different & not consistent in niceness. I had favorites, of coarse (most all the darker ones were my favorite ma says), but if heritage are nice as a general rule then I may have been under the wrong idea that RIR are all sorts of unpredictable because I was basing it on hatchery birds. Thank you! I will look around on here & see if I find who has the heritage RIR or if someone knows. I am definitely interested now! I seem to remember when I went to a show that there were banty RIR & they were adorable & so dark colored like my favy girls that I made a note to someday get some...to Google! Maybe I'll find what I saw that day...Yep! they looked like this.
Here's a young pullet on my daughters shoulder.
