Chicken Math Got Me Bad....
I love that chick stage of feathering in where they start getting feathers just above their wings. They look like little linebackers with massive shoulder pads on.- Sefirothe

Chicken Math Got Me Bad....
These two finally got names. Laverne and Shirley. It got down to 30° last night in the run. The coop near the floor stayed about 40°. All the chicks were active and spunky this morning. Even Gimpy was out bopping around. She’s able to put enough weight on her bad leg that she can now...- Sefirothe

Open Contest Feathers of Fall Photo Contest—BYC's 2025 Spooktacular Halloween Hatch-Along
Here’s an in progress shot. Usually once they get to the insides mine focus on the good stuff. Aka pumpkin guts. They usually leave the skin alone until they have it mostly hollowed out. I also only have three adults currently (well, if you go by brain power 2.5…the Polish is not the brightest...- Sefirothe

In peep news today, everyone is still going strong. Gimpy even looks to be starting to use her bad leg a little bit more. I managed to pick her up and did notice the hock on her bad leg is slightly larger than her good leg. No redness tho. Maybe she got squished in the shipping box and had an...- Sefirothe

The no roosters here is probably the only thing stopping me from getting an incubator at this point!- Sefirothe

Pretty much. I used a Philips screwdriver to poke holes in the skin. It makes those spots easier for them to get started.- Sefirothe

Tips for transport to and from coop without too much stress?
My first batch I brooded in the basement. To bring them out for excursions to their pen, I put them in a cardboard box. They did panic when picked up and moved but the darkness in the box with the lids closed seemed to help. I also tried to make the trip as quick and smooth as possible. They...- Sefirothe

Awwww, but she already has a name, she was named after a favorite Star Trek captain. At first I thought I would stick to a 100% sci-fi naming theme but that quickly got nixed when Gimpy and Chonky got named lol.- Sefirothe

Also, I'm happy to take name suggestions for the ones still needing a name. I'm totally down for either quirky or sci-fi names!- Sefirothe

I go out to the coop and can get totally lost just standing there watching them do chick things. Until my feet, knees, back or something starts whining at me for standing too long!- Sefirothe

Chicken Math Got Me Bad....
I caught everyone and stuffed them into their shipping box (boy that was an adventure lemme tell you) so I could make some adjustments to the brooder this afternoon. Added a bit of fresh wood pellets to under the brooder plate and stirred things around. Raised the plate up a little. Pulled off...- Sefirothe
