Hi all my fellow Coloradans! Lakewood here and just found out that we can have hens. Excited to get started!

Welcome! We're in Littleton. I have some chicks for sale if you are interested.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I'm cracking up at the broody hen with the stink eye. LOL

Hi there Littleton friend! We are in that area frequently (church, work, etc.). I will have to keep you in mind. Husband says chickens are fine but he wants to sketch out a timeline first. Of course I want to jump right in!

Yes! Very good hatch! I have two left, but they've pipped.. 20 of the 21 that made it to lockdown!

The Survivors:


Shadrach-



Meshach-



Abednego-



Talitha Kum- This one took to her feet this afternoon. If you had asked me on Saturday, I would have told you this one had a .01% chance of making it. I have never seen anything look so totally dead and recover. Her eyes were sunken to where I thought she was blind, she even sank into the wood shavings because the other chicks moved them over her and she coudn't move enough to shake them off. I had to pick her up to help her drink, and tilt her head back because she couldn't. I have so much admiration for the tenacity of this chick. The others had a long road to recovery, but this one came back from a place where few living things return.


I have no idea if these birds will have long term damage from their trauma or if they will lead normal chicken lives. I am looking forward to seeing the chickens they become.
