    It took mine a few days to get used to them- usually one of them figures it out and steps in. Treats could be smart! They are very shallow, just enough to cool their feet. It’s very easy to set up and reset for me. Running a mister resulted in too many flies over here but this has been easy!

    I’m in Texas too. When it’s triple digits or close to it- I add water they can stand in- a couple of baking trays in deep shade are easy and helpful. I haven’t lost chickens to heat. A raccoon, yes.

    Why are chickens so addictive?

    “There's also something so lovely and satisfying about watching something grow—especially at the pace of chicken raising.” I love how you said this. Yes!

    Why are chickens so addictive?

    …this is the question I was asking myself driving out last night to obtain two Showgirls I was sooooo excited to pick up. Grabbing cash from the ATM. Told spouse I had an “errand”. Put the new girls in my coop under cover of darkness so the flock & my husband would just wake up together no big...

    dirty feet

    I brought three beautiful 8 week old Seramas today and then noticed their toes were caked with I assume dried poop? I had to soak each chick in warm water and work pretty hard to remove. Their nails weren’t visible at all. So bummed, I like this breeder but that has to mean pretty dirty living...

    Candled the remaining 4 eggs- they all seemed to have not progressed to attempt hatch. Calling this as completed. Thank you for cheering us on! I’m so pleased with my five little ones. Everybody is exhausted but eating & drinking already. What a big day! They seem warm and happy to be...

    Everybody’s out- a sweet group of five in the brooder. I’ll happily add a few more but so far no signs from the remaining 4 eggs. I am stalking for any wiggles or pips though!!

    15 and 16 have pipped and zipped. Still watching 22, 7, 8, and 9 for a sign. Today is day 20 so they could be taking their time? First chick is in brooder, I did a quick grab as I didn’t see any pips yet on the others in their incubator yet. She’s been drinking when I dip her beak. No interest...
