Change of plans

We have a taker for all 4 of these young men, they will be leaving Friday. That will leave us with the 4 AM's, which I think 1 of the blacks is a cockerel, not sure on the other one, and I think both ermine are pullets, but I think it'll be another week or 2 before I'm sure. Hopefully I have a better ratio with them than I did with the OE's.

I'd love to see an update pic of your Ameraucanas!

I'll see what I can do sometime this week. It's been nuts at work with this new gal, she seems to have something against showing up

One of the black AM's got out (I have no clue how, but it didn't make it) These are the best pics I could get of the rest, they were having a digging party and couldn't be bothered to pose

Cons of broody chicks, having to defend yourself against the broody while trying to capture chicks Sansa was in beast mode

How frickin cute are these! I couldn't resist!

26 down to 17 in a week, mission accomplished! I am officially ready for winter. Chicks due the 21st for a customer

You're as bad as @wrathsfarm but at least y'all have customers lined up!

Where did you get those little grit and oyster holders? I made mine out of pvc but it's a mess! They pull all the oyster shell out and scatter it around the run.

Look, the incubators were put away ma'am, but who am I to deny someone cute little fluff balls They are all mixes, he says he can't find "cool looking chickens" down there, just brown or white layers, so I'm happy to oblige.

The ladies picked up the tab, so I said why not. I was using small animal feeder cups for the longest time but they started making them like crap and the hooks that hold them on the HWC break within a couple months.

Apparently Sansa thought 3 chicks was much more manageable to get to roost, finally!
