Gees cwrite that is both amazing and awesome!


So, so cute and adorable!!

Aaaw, how beautiful and another awesome story!

Looks like today is not so bad after all 

That's true. I had given this one up for dead, it was so cold but once it came back up to temp it wanted out. It will be a roo for sure, all the ones I save are.

Congrats Fancy! You sure have a way of coaxing chicks out of their shells.

Good luck for the interview & photography session tomorrow. It will be lovely!

Thanks guys. Now I just have to suppress the urge to go & count yet again, just to make sure.

Howdy from Adelaide. Ive spent all day pretending to work/reading this thread. Has been a great read and seeing all the cute little babies has made my tolerable.

I have 2 1yo chickens, 1 who started laying not long ago, 1 who hasnt started yet but should be soon. And my friend is currently babysitting 3 chicks (about 1 month old) as I was interstate last week (broody hen rejected them after killing 12 eggs she was sitting on).

So this weekend I will be building a coop inside the coop just for the 3 babies. The main coop is huge and this will be temporary til they arent going to peck them.

Love my chickens but man they can be hard work at times Lol
