    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    That's a good excuse to go out and sit with them. I'm actually surprised. All 3 ladies will bring their chicks by and hang out. Cardhu wants more distance but still comes in to about 5 feet. Thanks for giving them babies? Showing off their family? Recognizing me as part of the flock...

    He's got some looks! Your care is doing good things for him. As long as he keeps going, you'll keep on with the best care you can for him. :hugs

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I went with an All-flock (haven't seen the micro pellets, like that idea)1.5-2% calcium 1.4-1.9% calcium (Sorry about the wonky angles) @ChicoryBlue these both say for 8/7 weeks and older (I think because the ALL say medicated feed foe younger than that). Calcium on the side.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I'm not sure on that. With this batch of chicks, they're not vaccinated for anything and they're not on medicated feed. 1. The medicated stuff I could find here has a lower protein content than the all flock pellets I have for the adults. (18 vs 20%) 2. I found all flock crumbles with the 20% of...

    EE - Pullet?

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I try to mix feed together (chickens, dog, cat...) when changing things just to give them time to get used to it before the old is entirely gone. I also leave the heat until they're no longer using it, then leave it another week. I don't know how they feel, so am trusting each one to take care...

    Actually, I hope that one's a roo. I want a roo with blue genetics and a crest in him would be a bonus. Looks like I have at least 1 Thing grandchick

    Complex integration of new pullets

    Let them together. With escape options, they'll sort themselves out....and the 1st to lay will be queen, even if only temporary. Rank can shift again once all are laying.

    No kitty pics, but took Sherlock on a long ish walk just before bed the other night. Castor decided to come along 75% of the distance.... "hey, guys, I'm taking all the furry beasts for a walk" "huh?!"

    Complex integration of new pullets

    The loss of the others isn't causing the aloofness. It's caused by "I don't know you". There's going to be some physical interactions no matter what you do. They're working out who the queen is. Put in lots of clutter: inverted boxes with doors cut into them, tree stumps, side tables, lawn...
