I wanted to do an update! The blind chick aka the first broody chick to hatch is Puffle. She has a blind eye, but I love her soooo much!! She is getting around just fine. She moved out a while ago and loves to climb trees! Probably the friendliest bird we have! Other than Muffin.
The others...
She is staying in my room for now, eating, drinking. I change her bedding everyday and air out my room. I will start bringing her outside to get some sun and dustbathe as well, but I will not bring her out with the flock.
Yeah, the brown one ended up being blind in one eye, due to what, I am not certain. Debating on starting her on antibiotics, but we will be gone for a few days, and antibiotics cannot just be stopped. Here are some pictures I have, not very many.
Turns out their was only 3 that have hatched. The leftover 2 eggs died in later incubation. We also gave her the other 4 chicks from the original hatch. She is a GREAT mom!!!! We originally seperated her in a seperate run. But I let her out and the rooster did not attack the chicks, nor did the...
Okay, so we have 5 more eggs under a broody hen right now, 1 egg is on day 19 and the other 4 are on day 17. So I will be updating on her eggs as well. We are going to remove the first egg that is older probably. Also, we now have her separated in a mini run, taken from a prefab coop.
Marigold is the GLW cross EE, named after the golden laces she will hopefully get!
Lily is just Lily cause it fit same with Dandelion
Mary poppins is Mary poppins because she is so poofy and because the picture reminds me of Mary Poppins.
Hope you like them!
They are great! 4 out of 5 eggs hatched, one died between day 19 and 21. Drinking and eating. The black chick that was malpositioned is doing great! I have been trying to spend quality time with them often as well, but am not able to for that long during the day…
Yep! A leghorn cross Easter egger! It’s pretty late, so they are starting to go to sleep😴 , but I thought I would share this guy, and maybe another chick soon.
