I know my friend was a bit off when she said oh no now you have to get rid of your eggs b/c they're fertilized, umm, noooo lol.
My same friend said br chicks with dots on their heads are female.
I had to put some in this fish tank while we build the new enclosed run today.
Which is a bit easier this time, but this isn't the pimp coop that still needs to be built to house the svart honas, ayam cemani and white bresse that I'm getting soon, as a sustainable meat chicken project.
These itty bitty peep peeps are my trial run at raising meat chickens. My bf reminded me today not to get very attached to these chickens. Especially if I want another coop and run built before winter hits to house my fancy meat chickers.
The greyhounds are jealous that their pooping grounds are turning into chicken/gardening grounds. Sagan already got one of my chicks last week when I first got them home. The one that got injured in the incident is fine though. Still recovering, but is also one of my bigger chicks & is a lighter grayish barred rock.
Since they're a bit cramped atm, we're hurrying to just get this enclosed to get them some more room while we build out the raised garden bed.
I'm going to hang their feeders and waterers from hooks. This might be such a great chicken run/coop that I might let some of my bigger chickens use it, or use it to house Lenny to give my laying hens a break. Lol.
