I hatched her/him, got my eggs from a friend in AL who has a farm. It's my only BA chick from this hatch.

I've got a question for those who are familiar with wing feathers. This is my first batch of home-grown babies, and I fear I've got one with some kind of twisted wing
Will this molt out and grow back straight, or will he have a perpendicular feather forever?

Twisted Feathers sounds like a good chicken name .
On a older chicken I have noticed that twisted feather is a feather on its way out .
Give it another twist it should pop out

His name is Callaway. We've also got a Ping and a Big Bertha. I get a kick out of naming things after golf equipment. Bahahaha.

I'll just wait and see if it falls out on its own. He's only 9 weeks old, so his baby feathers are still coming and going!

About time you put those chicks outside Mrs. B! Just in time for this freeze, too!















Just harshing. They look great. I bet they're enjoying it.

They are confuuuuused. Still not sure about this whole "coop" concept. Haha.

It was 80 degrees here today. Had to laugh when I saw our low of 34. Love these 46 degree swings!

They say Texas has four seasons, all of which appear within the span of a week.

Appreciate your comments always, sweet Orum!!! ♡

So my "gals" are 3 weeks old, any guesses on gender? All three have combs coming in, but hopefully they're girls - not allowed roosters here! Also an excuse to show off my cutie patooties hahaha Also, when abouts do y'all think would be good to let them outside? I'm planning on around 5 weeks, it's in the high 50's during the day but still dropping to the 30's at night and I don't want there to be too big a shock with temp change from indoors at 68 lol
