    Bullied to near death?

    She's a little better this morning. Openned her eyes a little bit, one more than the other, Took a wee bit of sugar water when I dipped her beak. Did the drinking beak movement after a dip then seemed to fall back asleep. Did not want any scrambled egg. Gave Nutridrench. No cuts or anything but...

    Bullied to near death?

    That's what I'm thinking. Her eyes stay closed but flutter. I'll have to use an eye dropper and be careful not to aspirate her.

    Bullied to near death?

    Typing this with my new showgirl in my lap. She's five-ish months old I think. I've been trying to add her to my small flock for a few days but the hens were not being very nice to her so I've been mostly doing the look can't touch thing with her in a small coop in the run. This morning I...

    Texas Temps

    It took mine a few days to get used to them- usually one of them figures it out and steps in. Treats could be smart! They are very shallow, just enough to cool their feet. It’s very easy to set up and reset for me. Running a mister resulted in too many flies over here but this has been easy!

    Texas Temps

    I’m in Texas too. When it’s triple digits or close to it- I add water they can stand in- a couple of baking trays in deep shade are easy and helpful. I haven’t lost chickens to heat. A raccoon, yes.

    Why are chickens so addictive?

    “There's also something so lovely and satisfying about watching something grow—especially at the pace of chicken raising.” I love how you said this. Yes!

    Why are chickens so addictive?

    …this is the question I was asking myself driving out last night to obtain two Showgirls I was sooooo excited to pick up. Grabbing cash from the ATM. Told spouse I had an “errand”. Put the new girls in my coop under cover of darkness so the flock & my husband would just wake up together no big...

    dirty feet

    I brought three beautiful 8 week old Seramas today and then noticed their toes were caked with I assume dried poop? I had to soak each chick in warm water and work pretty hard to remove. Their nails weren’t visible at all. So bummed, I like this breeder but that has to mean pretty dirty living...

    Candled the remaining 4 eggs- they all seemed to have not progressed to attempt hatch. Calling this as completed. Thank you for cheering us on! I’m so pleased with my five little ones. Everybody is exhausted but eating & drinking already. What a big day! They seem warm and happy to be...

    Everybody’s out- a sweet group of five in the brooder. I’ll happily add a few more but so far no signs from the remaining 4 eggs. I am stalking for any wiggles or pips though!!

    15 and 16 have pipped and zipped. Still watching 22, 7, 8, and 9 for a sign. Today is day 20 so they could be taking their time? First chick is in brooder, I did a quick grab as I didn’t see any pips yet on the others in their incubator yet. She’s been drinking when I dip her beak. No interest...
