    First farming experience

    Mine are only 3 weeks so they're still confined to our 4'x10' coop. When we do let them loose, we plan to keep most in an enclosed pen and just let a few free range each day at first.

    They're flying!!!

    I've seen similar nest boxes made from milk carton crates if someone had those on hand. Pinterest always has ideas also.

    After I bought a few of these boxes, I saw something similar at TSC but they wanted $28 a piece. Walmart organizers work great, are cheap, and make things easier.

    Is it ok for them to sleep up there at night time? They are only 3 weeks old but there is a heat lamp close to their food and water if they need it.

    I've been calling them since I got them at 2 days. They're not trained yet but we're working on it.

    They've been trying so I knew it wouldn't take much longer. The nesting basket were $3-4 a piece at Walmart and seemed like the perfect thing. I wanted something I could take out and hose down as needed. Michael says he'll load in the back of the pickup and power wash them at the car wash.

    Michael headed out to do errands but came right back in to tell me, "one of the keets sounds really loud". He usually doesn't have much to do with them. He just agreed to get them because, well he gives me what I want. :) so I go out there to check on them, make sure none are loose. I found 6...

    My keets

    Thanks so much. Now that they're older (3 weeks tomorrow) you can see a bluish lavender tint to some of the light ones. My 7yo niece was so excited when she saw that.

    My keets

    I think I have royal purple and lavender. Not sure what the others are. My son is super excited about the purple. That's what he was hoping for.

    My keets

    The top ones are my favorite. Later I'll try to post some more recent pics. They are 2.5 weeks now, growing feathers and getting polka dots. This being my first experience with birds, I have no idea what varieties they are but it's neat watching them change daily.

    My keets

    Aren't these adorable! Such a new thing for me but I'm loving it. These were 2 days old at the time. Part of my variety from mcmurray's.

    My friend has a brother in Lawrence. She said he could pick them up for us. I'll pass your number on to him. Thank you very much. My children will be excited to see our flock grow.
