    Chick #6 is still in the incubator. It had a tough time unzipping, cracked the shell actually. When the shell fell open a portion of it was stuck to the chick's head. I used a Q-tip and coconut oil to gently dab the stuck area, and the shell finally came off. But the chick, though vocal, was...

    I feed the starter/grower crumbles to my whole flock. It's about 18% protein. I offer egg/oyster shells on the side. New chicks get crumble mash to help them get more fluids, and prevent pastybutt.

    :love :love :love One more in the incubator, zipping slowly. If it hatches successfully I will add it to the brooder tonight. "Back OFF, Mister!" :cool: Safe in their brooder, the same one Rahab used last year.

    Addendum: I created that brooder last year after one of the flock pecked and almost killed Zaccheus as a one day old chick. I later saw Samuel trying to kill chicks, and he was removed from the gene pool, permanently. ⚰️

    Friday Morning Chick #6 is slowly zipping. I would help but would probably injure it, so hands off. The two unhatched eggs show no sign of hatching, but I will let them be for today. Hannah checking out Rahab's brood. :love :love :love When I went out a second time, Rahab was off the nest...

    The two incubator chicks have been placed underneath Rahab, no issues. I removed her unhatched egg, brought it inside and added it to the incubator. Pipped chick made noise when I moved its egg slightly. Hope it hatches. :fl Five hatched chicks so far.

    Growing my little flock

    I put 8 eggs in the incubator 3 weeks ago. Rahab went broody about 2 weeks ago, so I moved 4 underneath her about a week ago. She won't let me check for #4! In the incubator I have 2 hatched chicks, and one that's pipped. I'll move the 2 over to Rahab after dark. :fl

    I saw three in the box with Rahab, but she won't let me check for a 4th, she pecked me hard! There's two in the incubator with another pipping. It never gets old, does it? :love
