Last night it was 72 degrees here! I'm ready for my babies to get our too! My problem is that I have some big girls and I don't want the little girls to get picked on. So, I've made an A-frame Chick Chalet for them to be safe in while they are in the big girls run. I just need to finish the...
My banty hen is the ruler of the roost! Love her spunk! My babies, who are almost 3 months old, will just have to be kept separate until they can handle themselves. I really wanted a peaceful flock. It's just not going to happen with my bully girls. My husband is voting for freezer camp...
I found a home for 2 roos once. They actually went to a guy who had just gotten back into the chicken thing and needed a roo for his 25 girls. He took both of my boys. One roo would have worked himself to death with that many girls.
So My small flock of 6 is having issues. Here's the run down... sorry if it's wordy, I just want to cover it all...
Nugget was our first girl, she had 2 brothers who were sent to a nice farm in the country with plenty of room to run. Nugget is a sweetie.
We found 2 BR chicks who were about a...
I put up a small yard for the babies so they could hang out in the sun with Mamma while cleaned their T.V. Brooder. So much fun!
I think this is the first stink eye!
The BSL is checking out the new babies.
Here's the T.V. Brooder. I think it turned out well. The Front is fully removable and has a drop down door with ramp and ventilation holes also. I'll get the front pics loaded tomorrow when the sun is out.
Vinyl floors for easy clean up! This is the front without the panel and door.
We...
Here are the pics of the new babies.
Can you see the tiny beak peeking out?
She's hiding really well isn't she?
Sweet babies!
Only two babies came out for the photo shoot, I'll get the other one tomorrow.
T.V. Brooder is finished and mamma and babies are nice and cozy. We are getting a big ugly storm tonight so they are on the back porch until we can get a better spot. It's too late for pics so I'll post them all tomorrow. What a long day!
so............. here's the plan.
I'm not comfortable with the babies being in our regular coop as it has a 2 feet drop to the ground. They are all locked up there now with mamma, but she's going to need to get out occasionally. Well, we have this huge old console t.v. in our garage that really...
I feel just like Navin R. Johnson when the phone books arrived!
The new CHICKS are here!!
I just checked on mamma Nugget and I saw at least one fuzzy butt, possibly 2 and one baby still looked a bit wet! It is raining and still dark here so I'll give her some time to wake up before I go...
It really went fast for us but today is horrible! I just checked on the babies and mamma is still sitting tight. The pips look much bigger and I see a teeny tiny beak poking out. Too cute. I am hopeful that I'll wake up and see some cute little fuzzy butts.
