Out of my 6 chicks I have one EE. She is my favorite. They are 8 weeks old now and are fully feathered. My EE and my Polish are still growing their beards. Today I noticed what looks like the beginnings of saddle feathers. All of my chicks came from My PetChicken as sexed pullets but you never...
My sweet EE, Opal, is 7 weeks and started getting her beard feathers this week. So far, she is the biggest of my 5 other breeds and the boss hen. Very sweet to me!
Don't you just love their plans! We did the same only enlarged it a few feet Added electricity and poop board. There are pics under my article about it. Good luck with your chicks. Mine are 5 weeks now and have been in the coop for a week. Everything has worked out great!
My chicks will be four weeks old this Monday. My. EE , Opal, just had a dust bath and was chilling when I took this picture.
I moved them all to the big coop yesterday. Last night was their first night. This morning I coaxed them out the pop door and they stayed out all day in the run having a...
You will love your Polish. I have 6 chicks that will be 3 weeks old tomorrow and one is a silver-laced polish. She is sporting here punk rock look now. She and the others have grown so fast!
Enjoy your babies!
They are ALL named, of course. I only have 6. Georgette is my only Polish though. I decided on that breed at the last minute and so glad I did. She has a big personality. I named her in honor of my husband, George. He was very amused. :D
My two week old baby chicks took their first dust bath today. I took them out to the new run made for them for the first time and it wasn't 5 minutes before they were wollowing in the sand. So hysterical! [VIDEO]
We decided to go ahead and install wiring in our new coop before we moved the chicks in a couple of weeks. Might be a little harder to work around in there later. Really happy how it turned out. We basically plug the coop in like an RV with a heavy duty 20 amp extension cord that we made. The...
They finally arrived. Six fuzzy, chirping babies at the post office from My Pet Chicken. These pictures were taken at eleven days old.
This is Georgette, my Silver-laced Polish. She is the smartest and friendliest of the bunch. She runs to my hand when I put it in the brooder box. She also...
Definitely! I use a regular waterer for the Sav-A-Chick probiotics and electrolytes. When I stop giving them that, I will eliminate that sloppy thing. I change it 3 to 4 times a day because of all the poop that gets in it! :barnie The nipples are cheap too. Found mine on eBay. 10 for $3.60...
My little SLP of only two weeks is already the smartest and sweetest of the 6 I have. When I put my hand in the brooder box, and say "Here chick chick", she comes running and jumps in my hand. The others gathers around her at a safe distance. I hope so stays that friendly. She was the first to...
