I know, it seems to take forever when your waiting doesn't it!!!! I have found 5 eggs now in total and only one of them were in the nesting box, the others all in the run :/
Yes a few weeks ago they looked almost exactly like that!!!! I have 4 of them, I think only 3 of them are laying at the minute. Not long now for you to wait sooo exciting
This is how they look now
I'm not actually sure!!! My daughters school had them as eggs so they could watch them hatch and learn all about it!!! I said I would love to have chickens and the teacher said I could take them but she didn't know much about breed apart from they were mixed breed with a red hen and white...
I can't beleive it, I got my first egg 2 days ago and my chickens were exactly 16 weeks old!!! I wasnt expecting any for a good few weeks!!!! I'm so excited.... It was a perfect egg with a really good shell!!! I was expecting it to be a really soft shell....To top it off it was a double yolker...
I have been letting my chicks out of their coop the past few days for a few hours in the late afternoon and i've been puting them back each night, I thought i'd leave them to it tonight to see what they would do and the clever little chicks put themselves to bed!! I'm sooo proud
Yeah the coop has a window. I will be letting them out to free range but they are only just nearly 6 weeks so I am keeping them in the coop for a few more weeks as they need to get used to it as I must lock them in there on a night as I wouldn't trust the wildlife
I don't mind locking them in their coop at night with no acess to their pen but I couldn't bring myself to do it for 7 whole days and nights!! Me and the kids like to have playtime with them too much
Yeah i've been putting their food and water up in the coop with them on a night when Iock them in. Going to put them in before it gets too dark tonight as it has been quite dark the last 2 nights, hopefully they won't be as scared
