I have 6 under a broody I need to check for viability at some point, and I might have 2 more going broody as they are camping in the nests tonight instead of the perches. I see how they are over the next few days and then decide if I want to give them eggs.

Description: What is Coops for Troops?​

The proceeds for TeamPokey Coffee are earmarked for Coops for Troops, which provides therapy chickens, a coop, and a starter pack of supplies to veterans and military families who may be struggling with isolation, depression, anxiety or PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder. We thank you for your support of Pokey and your support of our military men and women and their families who have served this great country of ours! Does the coffee make the grade?
Well, we love it! Team Pokey Coffee is well balanced and aromatic with just a hint of chocolate tones. It's a medium roast--not too dark, and not too light, perfect to enjoy any time of the day. And each sip you take will be all the sweeter, knowing you've supported this worthwhile cause.

I'm there too when I can be. There are lots of chicks going to be happening around here so I'm sure I'll show.

May batch finally finished. Of 20-30 only 9 have made it this far. 4 had internally pipped and passed. The others werent formed right. And one of the 9 that did make it is in a chick chair learning how to use his feet properly.

Also i have one chick that has no stripes. Curious to see what it turns out like. The parents are rir and ee. Out of 24 chicks from these parents, this is the first without stripes.
