We had 3 barred rocks at home already that we picked up Friday af the local feed store. Put the new babies in the brooded with them...first few minutes were fine, then BF starts bellowing fir me to come down. Apparently the reds were too far a Colorado difference, and the hatreds were picking on them going right fir the eyes.
So I scramble to turn a plastic tote into a brooded, and BF makes a dividing wall on the big brooder. We went with his plan for now. I'm picking up 3 speckled Sussex Friday and 3 2-week old blrw, 3 Marans and 3 buff Orps next Friday; 3 ameracaunas and 3 E E on the 15th....see chicken math.
Then still waiting on 3 wellies and 3 Delawares.
