    Big Birthday Bash Hatchalong

    I didn't want to play with fate on the shipped eggs, so those were put in yesterday! Thank goodness I've got enough incubators. :lau The last egg in the egg tray in the first pic is soooo grey in person. What a bloom! I'm so interested to see what hatches and if it's a hen, what color eggs she...

    Any names are fine! Party or birthday themes would be fun but absolutely anything works. 🥰

    Big Birthday Bash Hatchalong

    I apologize ahead of time for the lengthy post. I'm really excited as, as of 3 days ago, I've been a chicken tender for a whole year! We love all of our babies dearly and with my birthday upcoming, lots of new fun things are in process. Skip below if you want to miss the chatter and get right to...

    Our first “home grown” babies!

    Where did the brown go?! 🙀 But wow, he’s turning out SO handsome. I’m in awe! These babies are all so precious. We did confirm Ranch and Grimm had their own baby! ✨ He is a Splash Polish and she is a Crazy Cackle Toppie, which is a black crevoceour/polish?/maybe silkie mix. She’s got an extra...

    Our first “home grown” babies!

    I'm going to be posting updated pics soon because oh my WOW they are turning gorgeous! We gotta clean out their brooder so figure I'll take the pics after everything is nice and fancy and pretty. :) One of them, I just WISH I knew who the parents were. (They were all scampered back in a corner...

    Everyone knows the TSC Bantam Bin

    They were mostly OEGBs, but the one with the soft black spots indeed ended up a splash OEGB! She's one of our SWEETESTS by far. She loves to come up and say hello. I adore her!

    Our first “home grown” babies!

    She is such a good momma! She will be getting lots of good healthy snacks she can share with the babies (egg yolk until they’re a little older). 🥰 She is so attentive and seems so content! I’m so proud of her.

    Our first “home grown” babies!

    Another big kicker is now there’s a broody Silkie in the Bantam coop, and no one told the girls to stop laying eggs so we’re still getting about 35-45 a day. 🫣 (the local food pantry and wildlife rescue sure are happy about that!) Right! I’m so so thankful kiddo heard it, and am so frustrated...

    Our first “home grown” babies!

    Story time! Complete with chick tax at the end. This has been an adventure. Early April will mark our first FULL YEAR with chickens. Chicken math hit us hard, and hubby built a massive coop and run. He also built a lovely Bantam coop! (We’ve got a temporary run and are working on leveling the...

    [The Shire] Our growing flock!

    Welcome to the world, Lucky! You’re REALLY early! 😂 I had set these all to hatch on the 8th. Oregano must have been secretly sitting on this one egg for 3 days prior I assume. He was sitting in the egg turner in one of the divider circles so calmly. He’s running around just fine thankfully! 🎉...

    [The Shire] Our growing flock!

    Well Oregano a little over a week ago decided to start acting like she was going broody and fully committed about 6 days ago. Now, we didn't have hatching eggs so I panic ordered some. 🤣 But since it could take a week for them to even get here due to the holidays if they were even sent...

    [The Shire] Our growing flock!

    So much going on, but so much joy to be had! Everything has been going well! Y’all, I love them so much. 😂 The final batch of chicks we’d hatched are due to go out just around Christmas! All integrations have gone so smoothly. There’s normal pecking order stuff, but 0 blood! I know we won’t...

    [The Shire] Our growing flock!

    Whoof, it's been one heck of a busy time period. All is well! We're working bit by bit on getting the full roof on the run and we're working on a permanent run for the Bantams. 🥰 Appa integrated SO smoothly! He was see-no-touch for a month and a half, probably longer, but we were admittedly...
