The littles are doing great, they are out with the Big Girls in the afternoon and no one is chasing them and only a few pecks now and then. Going to get some all flock tomorrow to get ready to keep them all together but I like to feed the littles by them self to make sure they get the starter...
While the big girls were out running around the back yard I let the littles out to explore the chicken run. .they mainly stayed by their coop but they are checking things out they run out and run right back in
My broody set up only thing I have done different is now under the cage I open up a feed bag so the the poop falls on the bag to make it easier to clean. I keep mine in there for a few days then let them out if they run straight back to the nesting boxes back in the cage they go.
I get that i gave some apples to my neighbor for her chickens too and her girls did the same thing!! looked at her like she was crazzy and walked away she also tried to cut them up and give them to them since she didnt want them to have the apple seeds still nothing... they all have different...
Found a new treat for the chickens. My Mom lives about an mile down the road from me and she has apple trees in her back yard. well for some reason the apples are just falling off the tree they are not fully ripe yet but they are falling so I gathered them all up off the ground and brought them...
Nice an cool here today actually have all the windows open for the fresh air! Chickens are loven it they not even bugging to get out of the chicken run.
Today is move from the brooder to the small coop to start the meet and greet 😀 the girls were so happy to see the littles. Lol or maybe it was the food lol 😆 and im almost 100% sure biggems is a roo they are now 4 weeks old. Biggems weighs 1lbs 7 oz. And the rest of them only weigh 11 oz...
