[BullChick]

Nope. Too bad.

She has only been broody for two days, I don't think that's enough time.

i dunno, if they hatch under her i dont see the problem
i've only ever had one broody so wouldnt know

She hasn't been broody long enough. I'd just give her a couple new eggs and let her try.

That's MN wild country, not Vikings country

Because people here are more refined and know enough to look down their noses at the packers.....

Does a different name/sport make it any warmer?

Mn Wild is a small winemaking company some hockey team played roughshod with and stole their trademark nearly bankrupting the little guy.....

I won't move to Packers country 'cause the winters are too long & too cold. Why would I move to Vikings country?

Whites Vikings play in a dome....just a bunch of cold weather wanabies....GO PACK!!!!

Got the eggs home safe. I think they are darker than the advertised picture. It was a couple hour drive, but that is the price you pay when you live in God's country.

$40 seems cheap, but it was 195 mile drive and $25 at Pizza Hut and $10 gas station snack, since I had 3 sons with me. But they got to see the in-laws, giving me priceless brownie points.

LOL, that counts!

Just got home with the cats (finally) - it's been quite a day with cat proofing the house and cleaning two of the brooders and tending weak chicks from the latest group. And it's pouring, which I'm thankful for, but sorta sucked when picking up the cats. They actually wanted me to do that photo op today! I was like, "The cats are tired (they are shy and had to be caught), I'm tired and sweaty and rain-soaked, can I please just email you photos when they're calm and adjusted?") Brooke is shy but ok, and is enjoying looking out at the chickens. Opal is hiding. I hate to bother her, but I'll have to eventually, as I need to make sure she knows where the litter box is... (And she hasn't discovered the kitty towers yet.)




Best shot I can get of Opal so far...


I lost 2 chicks this morning, and one more looks like it won't make it, with another two that are iffy. I keep checking on them about every hour when I can, and making sure they drink, but there's only so much I can do if they are that weak. The rest are running around like champs though. I need to brace myself and head over there and see if there are any more tiny bodies. It's always so sad...

(I'll have to read back later - gotta do weights on one group of chicks and make sure the brooders' water is changed. Big chicken chores will have to wait until tomorrow morning, it's pouring out.)

She will warm up to you eventually. They are so lucky you adopted them!
