Don't Wait! Start Extra Today. 4th Month Day 3

Heather!! My fave! ❤

I don't like her because she is too hard for me.
I'm going to learn to like her.

NO GROWN CHICKENS INSIDE. Only in the Brooder stage (or possibly an individual in hospital/recuperation when it's too hot or too cold in my greenhouse or flex corral) and for as short a time as possible -- TOO DUSTY! Now that I found the thread about Brooding Chicks OUTSIDE with the rest of the flock I'm thinking about how to do that next time.

I highly recommend brooding in the coop.

She's the best. I do a Heather video every day I'm home.

You were the one who told me to move my chicks outside a couple weeks ago so I did and I found that article because of that advice - THANKS!

Did you use a wood splitting machine or an ax?

I like to watch wood get split

Extra done. 40 min Tai Chi and 15 push ups. Might do 20 min bed time yoga if I can get my youngest to bed soon and I don't fall asleep with him.

Thanks for everyone’s insight on this. It didn’t seem cool for adults to be in the house. I get animals have accidents…I had a dog for 15 years and yes he sometimes was a handful but knew to go outside…I saw someone lay dow a blanket on the banister of a staircase to catch droppings. That’s like saying it’s okay for my bf to crap on my floor. Big YUK

I put my littles out at 5 weeks this time. They acclimated just fine under a watchful eye. This was my second batch and there were only 4. I have 9 total. Love these stinking critters

Yep this is what I do.... at 4 weeks they go into the shed with a heat source at night and then outside at 5 weeks

Side note….no extra today…unless you consider a pound of broccoli extra. I couldn’t help myself. It was that or a bag of potato chips. Ugh…time to ramp up and get serious. Making magic happen tomorrow!
