The mommas are sisters my son raised to produce chicks that keep me busy while he suffers his aunt and grandma in Montana for the summer. This is payment for his doing bulk of care the rest of year.

They look happy and well taken care of.

I can’t speak for Havoc, but I’m having an escapement issue with those otherwise wonderful cages. That get out as I approach to feed and water. The dogs and other chickens running at ground level do not help. Drama

Yeah you can the night before last I spent 2 hrs trying to catch 2 older chicks that escaped on me. One leiper pullet and a mug I can’t quite tell the sex just yet. That mug just ran me around the yard forever.
I had doors open but regardless I’m dealing with the same. Getting ready to switch out most of my feeders and waterers for cups now. Getting burnt out with the hens knocking them over constantly. It’s been really hot here lately too.
I haven’t hatched much the past few years but this year I set every hen up and every single one set on eggs except one. Long story short I have chicks all over the place.

Then this guy was causing me problems cause he decided at 3 weeks wanted to start teeing off on the other 9 chicks he’s in with. He got a timeout for a bit

Drama causer designated Soccer Ball based on down coloration at hatch. Nice thing about the chicks is I can just walk out into yard and pick on up without chick trying to get away. Same chicks make general walking complex when trying not to step on them. Even broody hens being that way.
