When the chicks are that age, it's whether or not the chicks will adopt the broody. I have no doubt the hen would, but the chicks will not. They will already be used to finding their own food, and taking care of themselves.

Thanks! I doubt they will adopt her. They will be big standard chicks and she's a tiny bantam, so it's unlikely. Oh, and I think you're right on Lamancha!

So you only have Polish chickens?

Oh, I get the question. No, we have A LOT of different breeds. It'll be a long list... I'll do it though if you'd like me to.

 

[TheCrazyClucker]

Snugbug might mean what other polish he/she has.

Yup, that's what I mean

Is it a officially spring yet? (I haven't looked at my calendar) lol

 

[TheCrazyClucker]

I believe that is a Lamancha. They were bred without ears because predators would kill them by pulling them down by their ears. They are wonderful dairy goats.

Yes, they are wonderful dairy goats! We have a white one, named Crystal.

Hi! No, I don't think it is yet... but it'll be in a couple of days, I think.

I want a goat so badly... Mom won't let me though...
