In about a week teh babys will start trying to jump out with mom, so you may want to think about moveing her lower to the floor so that when they babys try to follow her they wont fall and get hurt. and mom wont be able to get them back into teh box if tehy get out.

unless it is big enough to cage her in it so she cant get out either, put a very shallow bowl of water in there with marble or rocks in teh bottom so the chicks dont drown, and put a container cover or feeder taht holds chick starter with there chick stater in there.

My hens nest is in an elevated dog house and I made step with flat stones that go up to the doorway and I could not believe it when I saw the little chicks coming down them in the morning and following mama into the coop at dusk, but the "up" took several tries and mama hen kept coming out and showing them till the last one made it in!

make them a ladder to go up and down with.

Is anyone interested in a Blue Polish pair I bought from Muffi in early April in Westford (price negotiable)? They were both supposed to be pullets, but as of this week, let's just say there's been a dramatic difference in appearance...then...um...mounting....then yesterday "cock-a-doodle-DOOOOOOO!!!! They LOVE each other, and can't bear to be parted, so must go as a couple. The girl laid her first perfect little egg this week.

I can wait and bring them to Shay's (I think???), or if you can come to Tyngsboro for pick up, that would be okay too. Boo Hoooo, they are so sweet and funky!!!--Gail

Aw, so sorry you got a boy. All the Polish I had kept us guessing at their genders. I was so sure about yours though...

I give up on trying to sex anything. Everything is straight run unless I've seen it crow or lay an egg!
