What did you do with your flock today?

[blazzin]

Cleaned out the chick pen today!! Fresh bedding and raised the water up one more block. I can’t believe how fast they are going. I think we are going to move them to the coop next week and keep the brooder with them.

I turned the pen of bachelor roosters out before we started making chore rounds to the coops. They followed hoping for a chance to sneak in an open coop door to where there were girls being guarded by only one rooster... It was a useless effort on their part.

That sounds like a great set up too. Someone on BYC had a post about brooding outside in our coop and I just had to try it. I has worked great for me for a couple years now.

I did it twice last year, using a dog crate. I got the idea here.

That's a MHP (Momma Heating Pad) with a maroon cover in the back of the crate. The temperature was below freezing some nights but the chicks did well.

Not sure which one that was, but I still have four of them. They're the brown speckled birds on the left:

I fed them their favorite organic mealworms this evening. It was a gorgeous day but EXTREMELY windy! 20 to 30 mph winds with 50 mph gusts. My face feels wind burned.
