He he. I'll be out there for as long as one can possibly stay awake watching for little heads peering out

but she'll be nice and warm all night. The feeder is already loaded with starter and her coop is spotless. Do you recommend ACV in the water?

So......Whats the chick count?

Yes, what is the count? You will know when she is ready to leave the nest. She will be pacing the door of the pen with her babies in tow, wanting to get them outside.

I popped the top off the crate this morning to take a peek. Nothing but a big fat broody Ancona covering most of it and growling at me. I didn't hear any peeps, either, but it was probably drowned out by all the birds in the trees loving this spring weather. Speaking of drowning, though, I hope the little ones aren't being literally smothered by mommy.

Got some new baby chicks on Sunday from Murdoch's in Longmont, six bantam auracanas. All are healthy and strong, hopefully I'll have some green eggs by the end of the summer!

So cute!

P-Funk sounds like your broody is one full figured gal.

If she is growling, they won't be peeping. Instincts are that danger means be quiet! Just be patient and don't stress her until she has come to grips with being a Mom.

Looking for a chicken friendly rental property north of denver. As far north as loveland and anything south to denver. Anyone know of any rentals? Craigslist is a bust.

Welcome to Colorado Nancy! Chrissy is definitely the biggest in the room, even bigger than her sister.

Here's a bigger picture of her run, lamp moved off to the side.

I lowered the food and water to little peeper height and put a little rug by the cage opening.

Everyone is so curious to see what's going on in there.

Awe The cycle of life is such a beautiful thing. Can't wait to see the new little babies.

Good luck. We're in Unincorporated weld county, fort Lupton address. Everyone out here has chickens. We found ours through Craigslist though.
