Well it's nice to see them all together. LOL They are so cute.

Did you get more chukars?

Sadly enough we moved Silver out to the hen and her siblings because the chukar was getting depressed due to the occasional pecks and probably lack of other chukars. We did the move late at night and had plans to run to the farm store to get 2 more chukars in the morning, but the chukar did not make it. I would like to own some in the future but we have a total pf 24 chickens now to include the 6 chicks. We realized with this hatch that we need a lot more improvements to our coop.

Next year I want to get some chukars for sure.

Sorry about the little chukar. Hey, is the Yesterdays News Litter in the brooder you have. I always wondered if you could use that kind of pellet litter with new chicks?

The product is called Dry Den, and is a pine pellet. It is what our Coastal Farm uses. We actually hatched her on pine shavings, and noticed that she seemed to have a hard time walking on it. So when we bought the chukar we picked some up, and switched to the Dry Den when we got back. She really seemed to walk a lot easier on the product. I have used the Yesterdays News for our cats, when they were indoor animals, and really liked the product.
