I am torn between ordering chicks and getting eggs.
Gonna start collecting butchery equipment as 4 of the 5 boys will be heading to freezer camp soon. Been procrastinating about it as am a bit nervous as this will be my first time at it.
Moved all the spunky gang to the big main coop and setup an introduction pen inside it for the silkies. The silkies have more room to exercise in now. They still have not figured out the ramp to go in and out of their little hutch. Lola somehow managed to get outside of the pen last night. She was hiding in a spot between the wall and the pen. Poor thing wad so frightened by the bigger wyandottes. She came out when I opened the pen door so I scooped her up and held her for a bit then placed back with the other silkies. Boy was she happy to be back with them.
The kids in the house brooder enjoyed their breakfast treat of yogurt and crumbles. Butters was a bit shy about getting in the fray but still got her share. The kids are all getting their wing feathers and even have tail feathers coming in.
