Thirsty Thursday: Pullet Water

The pullets have not left the coop and nest box area yet. This is a problem as their food an water was all down below. We had to move water to the coop for them. Once we did, they drank for over 6 minutes! The legbar had to lead the way for the others to even find the water. Here is a sample of the long drink.

After this we threw some chick feed in the coop so they could at least eat something. Hopefully they venture further out today.

Baby squeaks! I miss baby squeaks; Snowy's big-girl voice is a donkey bray.

Belladonna sounds like a goose. Primula and Asphodel both sound like geese with stuffy sinuses.

Lulu sounds like a goose (or maybe a donkey). She surprises everybody (including herself) when she lets rip!

Leaving for work, mama HELP!

Also sort of blaming you… DH just said that the white boy should be named after his Father if he pulls through. Mumbled a bit about not leaving well enough alone. We are both a little overwhelmed. But, They weren’t well enough. At all. That paste might be a lifesaver. View attachment 3159887

Well, at least I'm a 'helpful' enabler,

Cairen would LOVE to have some playmates! I"m sure with your loving, knowledgable care, they will pull through. How is their mamma?

That polish has some long legs! Don't sweat the not leaving the coop yet. New environment, young birds = shy/ cautious. They're listening and getting familiar with the sounds outside. Try putting the food dish on the ramp so they can see it from inside and check out the outside once they know all the dimensions inside for safety

I will consider doing something similar. I am now remembering maybe doing something like that for Hattie and Jabber.

Aurora's voice is grating for certain. I get it. It's like she smoked 3 packs a day for years.
