    Our chickens as of 2025

    Nothing screams busy like not posting for months lmao, and genuinely writing have been tiring me out so much I didn't even try. Well I am back now and a lot have happened since late May. For once, three of my hens goes broody at the same time 3-4th of June, and I let them sit while incubated...

    Moon’s first time incubating eggs, and also Hatch-Along!

    We lost another one. This time a named one to be specific. “Triangel”, and many are injured from unknown corvids as I was away with mom for a haircut. It had been months since I got a haircut...so it took longer than I thought. I repeatedly had bad feelings and always ran out to sight of crow...

    Such a foreshadowing when I keep losing count of the chicks and missed picturing one chick coz now I am unsure who we lost and if we even lost one because of this or not or had they been gone for a while now, but I trust we had 17 chicks, just so unsure how we lost the one chick. I practically...

    We lost a chick. I was free ranging them to get them used to our way of keeping chickens. Yes, they were days old and retrospectively I look back with the most dissapointed eyes I can ever make for even willing to put all 17 of them out there when they can get the zoomie and I barely can keep up...

    Our chickens as of 2025

    The runner duckling is growing so fast and the other ducklings(unknown breed) still look the same. Huh. It is taller than the rest now lol. The old chickens looks so raggedy now 🥲 The new pullets still look the same but with a few obvious pecked broken feathers. Still so fluffy and smell...

    Alright roll call. Days old chicks. Sorry everyone is a bit sleepy due to it being evening. They’re active in the day unfortunately I am always at work. Nobody is getting names yet till they grow feathers so about one or two weeks old, then official names. “Firstborn” It seems most of the...

    Man I am so tired from work then spending time with the chicks instead of taking pictures and not counting the fact we still have 48 ducks and chickens outside to take care of. Barely mustered the energy to take pictures and post about them haha but I really can’t recall much information without...

    I would've bought a brooder plate if it was a little cheaper, but the only option where I checked was 56€ for a 20x30cm brooder plate! A heating lamp was 7€ which was what I bought(oh yeah I purchased and use the new lamp now btw. Temp is so hard to control but 31-36°C, I will try again to set...

    Wait. Chicks hatched and the humidity spike to 80%?! No way! Guess I’ll sneak in hand fast to remove the egg shell. Those looks cluttering. Then it’s light out so the chicks could sleep, and so do me I have work tmr lmao gotta love surprises in the middle of the night though. Hope I can keep...

    My jaw is on the floor right now. Nobody told me newborn chicks are so speedy. Anyway they’re crying loud but for my grievance the brooder was not prepared fully. A place to stay, food and water recently bought but the fricking “trust the lamp will work” “heat” lamp that my mom brought out...

    Unfortunately Butter decided the new nest was not where she want to brood, or she's not broody anymore even though she sat for the entire day yesterday, and broke an egg while she's at it. Smh me and her. That's 0.30€ she just broke! Anyway I let her out I don't need her anyway, I'll let her...

That’s way too high, I wanted 60%. Anyway aaaaaa. So miraculous. I’ve been waiting since forever 🥹 can’t stop...

    Average Chick Price in Your Area

    I’m in Europe but I like this poll because now I can see what you Americans pay for chicks and wow, very different economy. For reference, I would have to pay 1€ for mixed straight run day old from a hatchery nearest to me. 1,30€ for a straight run day old mix at poultry swap which is even...

    I was changing the temp depending on if I turned the house’s radiator on. 38°C for 23°C room temp and 38.4°C for 18°C or so. Well it’s lockdown now so I’ll stop. Constant 38.2°C rn I haven't touched the incubator for three days, it stayed stable at 38.2°C, 55-60% humidity, for three days. Idk...
