Deep litter method

[goodb]

approximately 2 weeks... situations differ and you'll have to be the judge of when you think they're ready to mix with the flock.

Me be the judge?!!! That's why I want her to do it; so I don't have to think!!! LOL
Thank you

Nice set up. I traveled around your videos and loved them. Subscribed of course.

Thank you.

Ok all,

All 5 eggs hatched. Moved momma and babies but have a question on how long to keep them all contained.

She's already walking around scratching for food.

Thank you again.

If the other flock members are leaving the chicks alone and the chicks are all getting around ok, let them be with the rest of the flock. I only separate my hens when they go broody in order to keep additions to the nest from happening.

LADIES and GENTLEMEN!

I'd like you to meet the latest additions to my flock!!!

I let her out of the brooder this morning and I don't think she went back except to drink. The chicks followed her everywhere they could and at the end of the day, she made a new nest to bed down in...right under the old feeder. I have to say that the deep litter is quite handy, 8 inches gives her and the chicks so much to dig through that they got tired and went to sleep early.
