Adorable! I love the feathering out stage when they look awkward lol.

Just visiting. I'm needing a chick fix since mine are already 12 WEEKS OLD!!! Can barely wait to build the coop extension so we can get some more babies... They are all so cute! I'm jelly! Chicken math creates other math too- coop extension math, budgeting for coop extension math, etc.

We are on the waiting list with the Indian nation to get one on our property. But ideally, I just want a basement built into our home when we build in a couple years. Or an Earth ship would suffice haha...

I know its off subject, but scary weather is heading into our neck of the woods. Prayers and good vibes are appreciated. I'm positive the chicken coop is safer than our mobile home. So they are getting locked in for the night and I am heading to my moms with the littles. Last year, we had the...

Came by to pay final dues to the broody brigade. The babies graduated from MHP and the brood box. They moved to their new home tonight. And they got their first house guest... I'm sure I'll be back in to chat and definitely will be back WHEN we get more chicks. We got too many roos this...

Took MHP out of the brood pen. They did great without last night. They are now five weeks old but the coop still isn't finished :( Anyway, hoping we get a break from the rain this week so we can get it finished. BUT, God help me, I swear I just heard one of the babies do a little baby crow...

Kind of depends on your ambient air temps. And what the chicks want. You'll see it again and again in this thread. It's really about watching the chicks. If they are staying under or right beside MHP all day long, it needs to be warmer. If they are never going under it at all and stay at the...

This may have been mentioned but has anyone else used MHP for other birds? It will be a while before we expand enough for more livestock but I am already considering ducks and MAYBE guineas for the extra benefits they can add to our mini homestead.

I just gotta say, as a new chicken mama, I started out with this method and I am never looking back. With two young children, and having to brood indoors- I was desperate for a way to keep my chicks warm without the risk of fire. Naysayers can most assuredly have their opinions that this...

We once had a 100 degree temperature change in less than 24 hours. I kid you not. We were shoveling 3 foot deep snow drifts in our drive and within 48 hours, you couldn't tell we'd had a blizzard. Oklahoma is the drunk weather capital of the world.

Do the mealworms (just a sprinkle) a couple times a week and trust me, once they get used to it, they'll come a running. When I first gave my babies meal worms, they didn't go crazy about them. But everything was so new and scary for them at the time. Yesterday I went to sprinkle a few out for...

I'm watching on my very old phone so the quality of picture is poor. I couldn't define a smile haha but I assumed it was there! Go Kendra!

Aww Blooie! Was Kendra happy about it too?! It was a good hijacking. Made me smile.

So the coop should be finished this week. BUT, we are clearing our 2.5 acres, by hand. It's gonna take a long time. And I really like to dream about what we are going to do with it all. We lived in an apartment before so our tiny 2.5 acres seems like something huge haha. Anyway, I already...

About the no tail feathers being roos... I have 2 wellies that are a little over 3 weeks old and one grew tail feathers fast, the other just has stubby bits. However the one with tail feathers has got some quick comb development already so I wouldn't always rely on that. I don't mind, I want a...

Aww, precious!

First adventure outside today, a little over 3 weeks old and they loved it. They were even rolling around in the dirt. They knew exactly what to do! Their coop should be done this week and so we will move them in next week after we've started the run. They'll be stuck in the coop for a couple...

Place it with a window facing the chicks and you've got chicken TV and sewing time all in one!!! ^A VERY small portion of my stash. Blooie, your sewing camper hijacked the thread lol.
