Cup o' Joe and Tea Too

yes that is a definite downside haha. As long as you're ok with only 2 months of nice weather a year it is a great place hahaha

Especially this past winter...snow all the way from mid-October on into April is crazy!

Depends on what you consider nice weather. All weather is nice in moderation. lol

Yay!! Don't you love it when they get it? I'm so happy things are going well for you and your flock.

I am in transition right now with the birds. I had to put down my roo last week for health issues. The temps here have been over 100 and the broody ate her eggs. I'm not devastated, I'm pretty sure the heat killed them. I moved the 8 chicks into the big coop a couple days ago and after the first night they went to the big house on their own! Thursday I'm going to pick up a new roo and a pullet. I've decided not to keep a roo from the chicks because I don't know if Jr's health issues could be passed down. Plus, the new roo isn't white so any babies we hatch will be colorful.

Sheesh, sorry for the novel, lots going on lol.

That all sounds like fun to me! I hope the new rooster is a great one for you. I just can't believe how great Pippi is. I have tried to have one 4 times now, and this one worked out finally. Mad Hatter is still a bit of a wild boy, so he is on his own. Have made no decisions on him yet.

Your chicks going in on their own so quickly is awesome! How old are they?

I was a little sad that two of Surly's chicks actually got to hatch but didn't live. I found them still partially in their shells. I suppose if I were incubating I would have been able to save them, but I did this mostly for Surly to have the experience. She is one happy little mama now!

The chicks are 7 or 8 weeks now. They've been outside for quite a while and have been able to free range since they were 4 weeks.

I love to see the broody mamas and their babies Enjoy!
