Good deal, we'll work with that

Right now the incubator, the two bins, and the two previously hatched chicks are under the stairs

Just thought I would let you all know that the hens that were not doing well, are getting better

I dosed them with high vitamin cod liver oil and Four, an herbal blend to respitory issues.
The sickest one, got a full human dose of the clo, as I figured she was almost dead anyway. 1/2 tsp, equaling 5,000 IUs of A and 500 IUs of D.
I plan to dose them a third time later on today

Ohh, and two of my young hens are now officially pullets!
These two are a cochin and cuckoo cross, and the eggs are quite dark!

And another spot of good news, my Welsummer has FINALLY started laying!

So I guess I am now officially having egg envy!! My friend Tracy's pullets that she got a week after mine have been laying since last week and now ya'll are getting eggs.

All my girls do is walk around, eat and flirt with the roosters.
