Dixie Chicks

Is there a way to put some pallets in the run just to get them up off the ground when they want to?

They don't have water in 9/10ths of the pen. It's my "Isolation pen". It's for new to the flock birds, but I haven't had any lately, and they outgrew their last pen. It has water in one small corner. The pen has bird netting over it, but has 2 covered dog crates inside for shelter. For whatever reason, they have, more than once, hovered in that one corner that holds water. I put a whole bag of pine chips in there 2 days ago. Hopefully it will do the trick. It has already soaked up the puddle.

Time for chick pics! Well, pullets and cockerels to be correct.

Is today a nonposting day and no one gave me the memo?

Yep... Those will need to be split up!

I had to take out two from my grow outs... The grow outs are in a spot that is getting too small for them... They keep growing, and I can't yet put them in with the rest of my flock.... They just need to hold out a few more weeks.....

The two I took out had lost some feathers... But I wonder a bit if something had started the feather picking... Since only those two have any feather loss at all

Anyway, the two I removed I tossed into the vegetable garden with some growing out ducks.

they are looking happy.
I so super hope you get a fantastic hatch

At least you have a grow out option... I am hooped. Actually, I have a small tractor that I could use for up to 3 chickens... or big enough for a couple of babies.

5 days left on my hatch... Which means they could start pipping and zipping in 3, right?

@Outpost JWB. That was such a sweet story. Your daughter doesn't sound spoiled at all.

Putting lonely chick under mama tonight, hopefully it works out. And hopefully she doesn't bite me again.

Love my adopting broody...

AWW cute. Good mama.

I have two blue egg layers and got three blue eggs today. Go figure. I was hoping that maybe one point- of- lay black pullet could actually have laid the third egg...until I realized for that batch of eggs, only one blue egg hatched...which I believed was the roo I rehomed a month ago. . I would be so thrilled if it turned out that the blue egg that hatched in the incubator became the black female that is now at point of lay. I am pretty sure the bird out of the sole blue egg that hatched it was the roo that I have already rehomed over a month ago. Two of those blue eggs today came from one of my two EE's. If I actually hatched out an EE/Orp cross and it is laying blue eggs....I'll let you guys know.....and there is a Santa Claus!
