WOW! Congrats on your baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks for the replies and helpful information! Sorry for the late response back. We've just added a little (human) girl to our family yesterday!
The winterizing information is great to know and sounds like an easy one to make a mistake on.
We started with:
- Two Barred Rocks
- Two White Orpingtons
- Two Black Sex Links
- Two silver laced wyandottes
And for added trouble we decided to get three Khaki Campbell Ducks. Ended up with two Drakes.
So 8 chicks and 3 ducklings that all survived (I was told we would likely lose some)
So far we have almost a dozen total eggs. All small brown ones and not sure who laid them but if I had to guess I would say the the Barred Rocks seem to be making the lay noises... /?
Here are a few pictures of our journey so far....
Cute pics! Your coop is lovely and looks like it will do great in the winter.
Oh yes! The egg announcing song! Isn't it fantastic! They do this naturally to draw attention to themselves and not to their eggs in order to protect them. They also are relieved!
