We got a nice +14 inches of snow last night, causing school to be canceled.

Besides the gas explosions we had in September, we haven't missed a day of school yet and honestly I think they were being generous. Easily could have had a two-hour delay.
I hate making up school days in June. We don't have AC and it's so uncomfortable.

Morning Ellie enjoy your day off

Hi! My name is Monica. My 5 yo has been obsessed with chickens since he was 3. This week we got their brooder all set up and he picked out some starters from Atwoods. We started with button quails about two months ago and he has done great with them.

We have 6 chicks, 2 button quails, and three quail eggs in a make shift incubator. We find out about the 6th (this week) if we got babies . View attachment 1690203This is General Tao-ie

Our quails Chase and Sunny.

The homemade incubator. I have a reptile temp/humidity gauge in there i mist a bit when it gets low, temp between 99 and 101, and turned 3 times daily.

Hi.... really cute names

IVE DECIDED! So since I'm now planning to sell backyard chicks I've decided I'll be primarily breeding Americauna/Ees BUT. Is it ok to have multiple colored hens to a EE rooster? will I still get pure colored chicks? Do I really care about pure chicks? Also I'd love to have a bantam breeding flock too! Id do sillies but our weather's so bad the death rate would be too much for me so! Bantam Cochin or Polish? Again can I have a mixed colored flock and still get solid patterned colored chicks? Or is it best to go whith a single color?
My Cochin has the best attitude but my polish are shockingly good survivors for such a fancy breed and id like to make use of that for others who want hardy but funny looking fancy birds.

I love the fluffy cheeks, too! I picked out the EE with THEE fluffiest cheeks...so fluffy, she reminded me of a professor or mad scientist because...well, I'm not really sure why. Your EE chick is so cute and pretty! Definitely share photos of her as an adult, Lord be willing.
Here's an updated picture of mine, who I named Candy.

I too love fluffy cheeks! This is my girl with the fullest beard.

The silkie, turkey, naked neck, and Wyandotte are all two or three days old, I think. The other two are older, but probably not older than two-weeks, if even that.
Oh, yeah?

Updated photos of the older two, and the turkey, because I kinda love that lil' dude (or dudette):

And who couldn't love Slater the turkey poult? Even my older sister surprisingly likes him...I guess when I was at work, my mom got him out (probably spoiling him), and he nearly fell asleep on my sister's lap.

Good Morning, everyone! I went to let the girls out just before 6 to find Hepzibah had already produced the first egg of the day! She does like to lay early whereas one of my BAs invariably lays just on sunset or later.
