Tragedy

in the joy of new life and their first time out in the big world, tragedy struck the chicks today.

Dusty fell in the pool today and before I could get to her she was gone. It was so fast. I had just named them today.

I'm so sorry Dusty. Rest in Peace poor baby.

Oh no Bob! What a terrible shame. Such is the life of so many littlies in nature. How was Sydney afterwards?

Sydney is acting like no one is missing. She has moved on.

Scott attaching an exit door for the babies from the brooder into the coop. The instinct to help with DIY starts at an early age!

We lost our sweet Bananabelle last night... she had an egg prolapse and I was able to get the egg out/off and tried to get the tissue back in but I believe we were to late.. she died over night... and yes, of course she was our favorite :(

Come on Out

I decided to let them come out into the big world today. Here they are coming down the ramp!
So adorable. I am still solving the hill problem. I think my ramp (which is a ladder rather than a ramp so that may be a problem) is very long and steep. Still problem solving that!

Oh no! I am so, so sorry. It is a dangerous world out there for a little ball of fluff. RIP Dusty.
 
Pools out here have to have a protective fence around them - mainly to keep kids, etc. from unauthorized use /drowning. Have been some very expensive law suits filed. Our pool season is so short, it's not even worth having one.
