All seven babies are out of the incubator! Here are the other four at their leg banding, making it clear that they do not appreciate the man-handling 🤣 :love

And just a few pictures of the corn crib crew at their evening socializing today 🥰

This one is actually from yesterday, but apparently I missed it in my post earlier! Tash on an, at that point in time, much cleaner towel! :th

A quick check in with the peeps, first the corn crib crew :love

Tash and Flint in the feeder. No signs of shame on either face :rolleyes: Chicha handily demonstrates how the feeder is supposed to be used at the bottom of the picture 🤭

Polenta in my hand, which is worth 2 Polentas in the bush, you know 🤭

Flinty the troublemaker pooping up the top of the EcoGlow!! :rant

This one's a bit out of focus, but here's Pudding and Chowder after thoroughly making sure the mole on my hand was not edible.

Pudding and Flint peeking out of the brooder at me :love

Pudding and Chicha by the waterer that they painstakingly filled with dirty shavings :rolleyes:

And the little tinies in the small brooder next door. Look at all those footsie pajamas!! :love

I was trying to get a picture to show how eensy-weensy these guys are compared to the goons next door, but even this picture makes this little one look bigger than she actually is! They're so small 🥰

Too funny that the chicks are already being naughty! Flinty seems to have a lot of personality. I forget is she a green egger?

She's one of the Easter-eggers, so hopefully a green or blue egg layer, but we'll have to wait and see :D

And yes, she's a stinker! She's usually the ringleader to their shenanigans in the big brooder. 🤭 Yesterday, I went to sit with the Cochin babies to get them socialized as well, and Flint flew up on top of the feeder bin because she just couldn't wait her turn!

Notice the other chicks are getting up on the EcoGlow now, too, in the background :rolleyes: At least now I can put the waterer up there so they aren't filling it with shavings all the time.
 
Four more beautiful Blue babies hatched out overnight :love

Oh, and in other somewhat exciting news, Johnnycakes figured out the perch in the big brooder! :D It's so infrequent that any of my kiddos figure that out in there, though maybe that's because usually my kiddos are all Cochin bantams 🤭

Editing to add (because guaranteed I will forget I did this today and then not remember how many days are left in the round), with the relatively wet weather we've been having, I noticed Opal's babies were looking a bit droopy and there was one questionable dropping in the nest, so I went ahead and started them on Corid for a possible bout of coccidiosis. Since it's not worth waiting for symptoms to show up in the other peeps, I also put Kya's babies and the older brooder babies that have moved outside on a round of Corid just to be safe. They all seem fine, so hopefully there won't be any complications along the way and they'll recover well. 🙂

Had my first case of fly strike in a very long time. Thankfully, I still had the supplies on hand from last time.

It was Bucky, who I have noticed has been a bit unsteady lately. When I found him, he was lying on the ground covered in flies. Thankfully, I caught it quite early and he has a pretty minimal wound from it, but he doesn't seem to have the strength to get his feet underneath him now. :hmm He is bright-eyed, eating and drinking normally. Not sure what I'm going to do with him once he's healed up, though, if he can't get to his feet.

I also think I'm going to lose Pete pretty soon. The mosquitoes have been terrible and, probably as a result, a few birds have gotten dry fowl pox. Poor Pete seems to have gotten the wet version, though, and is not doing well. I'm doing everything I can for him.

On the positive side, the chicks are doing great on their round of Corid and are back to running around like maniacs as usual. And the kiddos upstairs in the brooders are growing and running around like crazies as well. :rolleyes:

Here's a few shots of the lunatics from the past day or two.

Johnnycakes and Flint looking perfectly innocent as they plot out their shenanigans...

Tash is growing in such pretty feathering :love

1751488123198.png


Chicha is getting some unusual, stringy feathering in. Kind of like silkied feathering, but not quite right and only in her secondary flights. 🤔

On the birds outside, here is one of the pullets sitting up on their perch! That's pretty impressive for a Cochin bantam 🤭

And Lydda and Kita, just a couple of Dorks sitting under the roost in the dropping tray instead of perching :rolleyes:

Why do people believe that if you hold/handle chicks, they will become friendly hens? It's *hogwash* (controversial, I know :p)
