OK I don't have crowing from any of my baby chicks, I have 4 roos in that batch. I have two 21 week old boys and only one of them crows consistantly (the EE), the SLW one has only crowed one morning and we wish he'd switch places with the other one, as he has a nice sound and the EE sounds like...

Some of the baby chicks. They all run when I come near so I only got a couple photos. Mama pretty much has them on their own, she only rarely checks in on them. I have noticed though that if they are really by themselves, she'll come over from wherever she's been to sit with them. She's laying...

Hi everyone! I've been MIA for a bit (double ear infection, followed by my 7yr old getting Scarlet Fever--strep throat with a rash-- and then me getting a severe case of strep myself! Loads of fun!). I wanted to share this though thought you'd all find it a bit funny: I just this afternoon...

Mylee sure is cute! Mama broody was up on the roost tonight and all the babies were on the floor. This was her first night not sleeping with them. One of them tried really hard to get up to the big roost but just couldn't make it (I think it was getting too dark to see well). All of them...

Aw, Cheeka, poor Peach :( I feel so sorry for her :(

Congrats Cheeka on the new chicks! Well, we lost one chick while we were away from the house. Apparently my LIVESTOCK GUARD DOG got it. Good guarding there. He didn't eat it, but I figured it was him as it was covered in dried slobber ( it actually looked as you'd expect to see from a chick...

Because I opened my big mouth: SO! After being all proud at how my broody is doing with her babies, and how cute it was that my other Marans was being a 'helper' to Mama.... She went a little nuts. (definitely been talking to Roger) I had this one baby (the light splash) that I had to...

This made me think of Roger:

I've kept my broody and the chicks with the general population from the very start, no issues so far. I have one sort of jerky chicken who will run over when one of the babies has a distress call, but the mama is always there first and pecks the jerky one. I have had that same one peck me HARD...

Baby chick pics from out here :) My other Cuckoo Marans is playing Nanny to the babies. Mama doesn't seem to mind, I guess with 7 kids, a little help is appreciated :) The nanny hasn't laid in about 10 days but she is inconsistant on the nest. Driving me nuts. Here they are:

They are all so cute!!!

I can never get the multi quote to work for me. THANK YOU everyone for the well wishes :) She is frequently taking them on field trips to the other side of the coop where she parks herself by the door and intimidates everyone who tries to get inside. Maybe Roger gave her some pointers. We do...

Thank you!!!

Already being embarrassed by Mom. Poor thing.

WE HAVE 5 OUT OF 8 HATCHED TODAY!!!! Sorry, excited :)

OK!! So excited for you! (ugh about the poop though) and MC!! You too!! All this is making me sooooooooo antsy for our hatch day! I've got another one wanting to go broody. She didn't lay today and even after I dunked her in the pool (just the lower half) she ran back into the empty nest. I...
