Goldie is home now. While we are confident that her leg will heal it will never be 100 percent. I thought it over and believe I will build a small chicken tractor for her and Itty-bitty. Probably 4 x 8 feet with about 30 inches closed in for a coop section. I'll put the top on hinges so in the evening we can help her get into the coop to be protected from the elements. Any ideas are appreciated. We know we can't put her with her flock but we want her to have a good quality of life.

Nice. We were supposed to get Australorp but the hatchery ran out.

She lays almost every day. And they are large. She is flighty, but I didn't really handle her as a chick. When I do catch her, she is so sweet.

Egg update: Bet you didn’t expect one so soon. I know I didn’t expect to be giving one so soon.
So MUCH drama and way way to many trips to the store.

The brand spanking new NR360 would not hold at right temp to save its life. 3 thermometers later it’s confirmed without a doubt its wonky.

With eggs set already I couldn’t just take it and exchange it nope. Back to TS to buy another one. Got it set up today and it’s holding temperature perfectly.

Moved the eggs into it packed up the first one and I will be returning to TS AGAIN tomorrow to return it and get refunded.

Wow yes that is dramatic!

But so glad that you have things straightened out!

I would like to go outside on the porch, but I get swamped by feathered Rocks every time I do!

I am not sure on ideas but I am sure for the run part you wanna have hardware cloth.
Goldie is sorta like my Mrs. Clean-egg. She will never poop normally again.

For the time being her poop is perfectly normal. She squeezed one out on the way to the vet this morning

You know you're a tech geek when.....

You dig out your extra web cam and install it so you can spy on the baby chickies.

Guess they have gone to sleep!

Drew this using my old Galaxy Note 5. Supposed to be Chicken Abigail, but I'm not the greatest.

I can't draw a straight line

Very good!

I don’t even know what to think about Xzit. She’s acting broody, but in my experience, I have never seen a golfball hatch . If she lays another egg, I will keep it as it is, where it is, and mark it with a crayon.
