Change of plans

[Auntiejessi3]

All the littles are tucked in with Sansa, seems to have went well. I'll be out there early just to make sure.

All is well! She just brought them out of the nest, so I'll leave the little fence up for a few hours until everyone gets their bearings

Went out to do chicken chores after work and was looking at the littles, I may have 2 ermine, there is the slightest hint of black on the one I thought was white wing. I'll keep an eye on them and let y'all know.

Everyone is chickening And I let the partridge OE out of the clink cuz she quit clucking (she is the mom of the 4 multi-generational OE chicks)

Not really sure why it's posting all the pics sideways

A pic of one of the grow out Wheatens. Not the best, it's hot and they just want to chill, they'll be 20 weeks Thursday.

That was an epic fail, she was in the nest box within 30 minutes, so back in the clink for a couple more days.

This was to cute!

I feel like it's one thing after another this year with my birds  I finally got all the broodys broke and back to business as usual. I had 5 birds that were supposed to be picked up tomorrow (thinning down for the winter). Two days ago, I saw on camera the young Marans/Orp cockerel get a little rough with his Marans pullet hatch mate (she is way smaller than him, he's a moose) When I got home from work, she was huddled in the corner of the coop with a bloody brow. I cleaned her up and put her in the grow out area so no one would pick at her wound. The following day, she had a mark on her wattle and comb I started examining the rest of the flock and 1 other bird has lesions starting. This will be my first go round with fowl pox in the almost 6yrs I've had chickens. So needless to say, there will be no birds leaving until it runs its course, smdh

Bummer deal! I hope the chicks don't catch it. I worry about that with my little ones. My entire flock is vaccinated against fowl pox because we have such a mosquito problem but the hatched babies weren't...
