    Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

    I just got my chicks yesterday! 5 Salmon Faverolles(straight run), 6 Buckeye pullets, and 7 Golden Comet pullets. They dont have names yet since I only plan on keeping about 6 of them. I already have a couple favorites picked out though.

    When to name chicks

    I usually name mine the day I get them. But this time, I'll be selling about a dozen so I'm trying not to name them until I know which ones I'm keeping. I love naming them though. I usually pick a theme. Like name them after famous people/TV characters. Or pick the first letter of the name of...

    How long do mail order chicks take to arrive?

    I just got an order from Cackle. They had a shipment date all ready for me. And I got a call from.the post office just after 6am to come get them. They took 2 days to arrive to me in WA.

    Made a little egg dispenser

    Did you mean my comment? I meant egg skelters take up space and that this was a good alternative. :)

    Why pigeons?

    Don't tell me that, they need a purpose. We have enough lazy pets who don't pull their weight around here. ;)

    Why pigeons?

    I saw that! There was a pigeon who still delivered her message with only one leg, one eye, and shot in the chest! That's a dedicated bird!

    Faverolles, Buckeyes, and Comets?

    Oh and I'm not worried about overcrowding. I have a decent sized coop. 10 hens so far has been the sweet spot it seems. Not to mention their run is being overhauled and will be partially covered for more space. Right now they free range and I haven't got an egg in months!

    Faverolles, Buckeyes, and Comets?

    I didn't think of black sexlinks. I was gifted one when I first got chickens but she was too old to lay. She was the dominant chicken, fighting any new cockerel or rooster while my chill polish couldn't care less lol. I guess that's why I didn't think of them since the one I had was so crazy. I...

    Why pigeons?

    He thinks they're a good idea. The selling point was "We can eat them, right?" Awesome! Now to research and plan! (Insert evil laugh here)

    Made a little egg dispenser

    Counter space is precious around here! Those egg skelters are fun to look at but I just don't have room.

    is this common?

    My hens used to do this! Weirded me out at first. Then I'd just scratch their backs and they'd shake it off and continue on their merry way lol.

    Why pigeons?

    That's a lot going on! Versatile birds! I don't see why people say that either. But I like the birds everyone else hates. Pigeons, seagulls, crows... :) I promised him we would only add 1 homesteading/animal type project a year, so we shall see. I think they sound fun.
