I am so excited. I received a box of hatching mottled java eggs from Monte Bowen himself. I am putting some of othem under two broody hens and some in the incubator to increase my chances of chicks hatching. Did I say I was so excited????????

Eating the sawdust? I swear, sometimes I completely understand why people eat chickens and cows - they just aren't always the brightest things.
So far, I can't even get the chicks to eat any treats - Have tried all kinds of things (grains, mealworms, fruit/veggies, grass, yogurt) and they look at it and me like I'm crazy. Took a couple days for the 2 older chickens outside to figure out that they could eat the grass and bugs out there. I guess without having a mother to teach them things, the chicks just aren't adventurous enough to be willing to try any treats. And not smart enough to go to the other side of the feeder to eat when the big bullies get in the way.
