The little patient is all set up. When my daughter wakes up, I’ll have her help me get a better look at its leg and re-wrap it.

Day 5 and 8 out of 8 little ducklings are growing! This is our first ever duck hatch and I’m so impressed they’ve all started to grow. Little miracles! I’m so eggstatic!!

So I may have some araucana and speckled Sussex eggs coming. I’ll prob throw some of my Silkie x hen’s eggs in too for a laugh. So guess I’m still in lol

Our 12 lb. chihuahua mix seems to be broken now All he does is sit in front of the brooder, stare at them and whine with his tail just a waggin' away.

My Border Collie also is fascinated by the brooder. She sits there tilting her head from side to side.

Picked up couple new girls and new chicks today. Looks like I have the start of a chocolate Silkie breeding program. I’ve been getting lucky with Silkie colours lately. Now I have a Mille fleur silkie pullet and a chocolate Silkie hen I wasn’t expecting to purchase either! Father of the Mille fleur is a white columbian Silkie, and one of the chicks looks to be white columbian too. I couldn’t take the roo home as don’t have the second pen set up yet, but just can’t believe my luck.

They’re a relatively recent thing! I wanted to start the project here but looks like I’ve already got my foundations done for me haha

Aw, too cute! Congrats on all the new flock members!



Unfortunately, I had to make a last minute brooder and separate the serama from the rest. He's just so much smaller than the rest that they keep pecking and chasing him out from under the heat plate. I'm going to start looking to see if I can find a couple day old seramas for him so he isn't alone and size isn't an issue while also trying to slowly allow them together supervised.
