3rd Annual New Year's Day Hatch!!

[karimw]

One of my favorite chickens is an ameraucana roo that is blind in one eye. Got himself hurt as a chick and I couldn't fix it. He doesn't compete well with the other roosters but he has the garden to himself and a nice white Cochin hen and a daughter to keep him company. I keep separating the daughter, but she always finds her way back if she's not confined

I've weaned my chicks off the heat lamp, and they appear to be doing very well. Two speckled sussex are looking roo-ish but I'm not sure about the one that feathered quickly. The other is for sure a rooster.

My little duck is still doing well. Unfortunately my camera is acting up so I have no cute duck pictures to show you guys.

I sexed it today and it is definitely a Drake. Which is good because all I have currently are females. His name is Spunk, cause he's a spunky little guy.

My two SFH survivors just keep looking better. The one with the crooked toes will be that way forever but the other one that I think is a roo, is really going to be EYE candy. I'm thinking I'm going to have to let Laree have them to breed and then give me eggs to hatch because I can't have a roo.

Can't believe the babies are 4 weeks old and that I'll be getting another group of chicks out of eggs on Ground Hog's Day... all Wheaten/BW Ameraucanas and Olive Eggers.

I just sold off 10 of my NYD hatch chicks. Needed room in the brooder ASAP. I'm going to put the rest out in the barn in another week or so, but I've turned off the ecoglow to get them prepped and ready for colder temps.

My ducks went outside for the first time today... not sure if they'll be spending the night out there since it's going to get down to 24 tonight, and that's the warmest overnight temp for the next 10 days. But at least they're out of my house for a few hours!

Looks good!
