    Yep, definitely looks like 1 cockerel. I've had hens tend to chicks up to 9 weeks, it's crazy 🤪

    Got a text this morning from a guy that bought chicks from me back in June (I know his cousin) he came all the way from Hempstead for these chicks, which is almost 2 hrs away. He wants 20 more, so I guess I'm firing up the incubator again🤣

    Almost 6, she's a large lady, and gets around pretty slow these days, just likes to chill in the shade most of the time. I personally think her weight has a lot to do with it, I know folks say chickens are great at regulating their feed intake, but she does eat a lot, lol. Idk, I'll let her do...

    So far so good with the nut, I'm sure she'll start laying in a couple weeks then go broody again🤣 In other news Maribel, my old lady light brahma, is acting really off. She's been staying in the coop on the roosts a lot, not eating much, and let me tell you this big lady does not miss meals...

    Pecking order problem?

    There has to be an established order (the pecking order). These are still young pullets, so I'm sure there will be changes to the pecking order as time goes on. As long as no one is getting hurt I'd just let it play out and see if it resolves after some time. How many birds do you have and how...

    Let the nut outta the clink yesterday after work, no clucking, and she went to roost last night 🤞 I've got a lady coming for 3 more birds tomorrow, I asked her if she'd be interested in her as well (I did give full disclosure on her broody tendencies) she said while she is beautiful, she doesn't...

    So I let Mrs. Coo Coo out after work today because she had stopped clucking in the grow out area. I did waterers and feed and as I was walking back to my she shed I heard it, " cluck cluck cluck", I looked in the coop and this lunatic was picking out a nest box🤦‍♀️ You should have heard her when...

    I recently got a text from the hubs as he was in a similar situation 🤣 All you can do is sit back and laugh and enjoy your vacation. (They don't realize how much "work" it is until they have to do it😉)

    The hubs built the portable roost bar for the grow out pen (it'll be multipurpose come next spring with the extension) it looks great, will easily hold 5 birds. While he was putting it in there, "the crazy b!tch escaped" as he put it 🤣 I was at an annual safety meeting, and lost my sh!t when he...

    I'll take some of that rain, it's starting to get pretty dry here, but you can keep the 40's😂 I probably won't see the 40's at night until November.

    The only other broody I have that's ever done this is Onyx and she does it every time she hatches. I have a brick that I keep in the coop as a little step to help them out. Goofy birds, lol

    A broody is the one raising the 3 week olds. I do nothing, but more chicks would put me way over my comfortable numbers for winter.

    I have 8 - 3 week olds right now that I don't know the sex of yet, and a 17 week old cockerel that is trying to mate and should have already been gone. I just don't want to add insult to injury right now, lol

    I do not have buyers lined up and getting rid of chicks in the winter is hard. All my grow outs that aren't staying will be gone in a couple weeks, so I think I'm just gonna stick with the chicks Sansa has and go from there. She's going in the clink!
