What type of chicks are they?

 

[FortCluck]

Mine got feathers pretty quick, but that one might be 2+ days old.

Experiment didn't make it.
I can not tell if there once was two yolks or not.

 

[Kiki]

Just as soon as I got everything settled the plans changed.
I am no longer babysitting.

 

[Kiki]

The chicks were White Leghorns, Silver Laced Wyndottes and Cuckoo Marans.

I didn't even get to steal one.

 

[Kiki]

You people make me feel like the sanest one in the room.

Ha.

You will be insane come next week.

@Kiki
That one you wanted as babysitting fees looks like one of my Barnyard Variety Chicks.

 

[Kiki]

I have not, but from your description I’m seeing something like a cold frame—shed roof, segmented into three hinged sections, maybe a separate small access door in each section.

I'm trying to catch up now so this may have been mentioned already...
@BReeder! I'm pretty sure you are not going to want the whole top to open up because you will for sure have escape artists then.
If you could only make a small a small portion of the roof open up it would probably be better.

 

[Kiki]

Nonsense. I am merely a spectator of all you madmen.



Hey. I'm pretty sure I hatched out less than 40 chicks total last year. I'd call that "sane!"

Your year is 2020.
I'm betting you hatch over 200 this year.
