Farm chatter

omg so

yall asked for more chickens

housemate came in with a day old chick and I was like wth where did you find that? and he said it's been by itself in the driveway for half an hour.

(wth why did it take you half an hour to do something!)

so I popped him in the incubator with the eggs to warm him up

then we hunted down the momma and stole all her chicks but she refused to be caught

so we had the babies in the brooder hoping to lure her over but they got too cold so now they're all in the incubator and we have a phone in the brooder playing distressed chick noises

she is close but not going in yet

10 chicks in the hand is worth 14 eggs under a hen
