Our chicks that hatched Monday/Tuesday have a new mommy! One of our black orps wants to brood so I thought... what have we got to lose? We really don't have enough coops to hand raise this bunch and was going to put them up for sale. This morning I slipped a chick under her to see what would...

Cyn, Ask at a restaurant/eatery for the flats, they probably recycle or toss them! My blue eggs are all from Spreckles-- a 3(4?) yr old EE who was purchased as a chick from the local feed store. She still lays well and I like her egg color. She is running with a tailed aurcauna roo from a...
