I made a little nest for them on top of their heat plate using a cardboard tray. I don’t think they know how to snooze on a roost yet and under the plate looks like it is too warm for daytime.
Does it get any more cute?
Zzzzzzzzz

That magnolia was a huge tree, and back in 2014 I was out west working and we had a vicious winter here, 4' of snow on the ground and -35c daytime temps for about 5 weeks straight.

I got home April 1st and when I checked the property I noted the rabbits had chewed the bark off the trees at the 3' and 4' height, they completely ringed the magnolia of bark, the tree of course died.

But it sent up suckers which I have been trying to train one main one into a tree, unsuccessfully tho.... It's now more a bush. Every year I tell myself cut it down get rid of it.... but it seems to be thriving as a bush so I keep it ☺️
I would keep it for certain. Mine grew out of a stick like that.

They need a lot of water. I started watering mine and that's when it finally took off.
 
Visitors this week: hoping they stay and raise a baby like last yearView attachment 3057295
pair of sandhill cranes. Llast year's baby was so cute, and the hawks are wary of them. have even had them in the yard....
I hope so too and we expect tons of pictures if they do.

😍 No it does not!
Great idea, keeps the wood chips in and they can nestle down in it, perfect!
 
They're all for a friend whose husband had a stroke and are having a hard time. They will eat 1 or 2 roosters and sell the remainder to make ends meet. It helps them and we get our chick fix without increasing our flock size.
Many prayers for your friend and her husband, they are going through a difficult journey. It is wonderful you are doing this for them. There is also nothing wrong for getting your chick fix while you are at it.

They are growing so fast. They definitely are benefiting from being outside it the coop. Nothing brings on a growth spurt quicker then moving from the brooder to outside.
