From egg to chick!

You think so? I am seeing alot of similarities in feather patterns and colors but still can't figure out what breeds for the life of me lmao.

Oh, I think I added in your older girls to that statement too but you have some different feather patterns in there, plus you have a showgirl!!

Super adorable! Likely a blue satin.

Atropos is taking after their uncle Storm!

And with feathery feet too! My only other silkie baby I have had didn't have actual feathers for feet!

They are definitely some personalities in there for sure. It appears that so far, Celestia (Light Brahma) is the ring leader of all the pullets. I can't quite tell yet though since they are still young. Around 10 weeks old or so, give or take.

They also love watermelon as a late night snack. Spoiled chickens already. They had tomatoes for lunch too.

My girls love tomatoes! First time they had them and were getting tomato everywhere, chicken parmesan came to my mind for some reason?

I had a tomato leftover this morning and figured it to be unfair if the roosters didn't partake. Well Hook (neighbor's roo) dug right in. Mine? Took one nibble and said no. Ruuuuude.

What IS a good way to clean out chicken poop in the enclosures? My husband was saying maybe one of those kitty scooper rakes but I was skeptical if that would work. It has taken a few weeks but it is a little poody in there and I am sure glad pay day is tomorrow bc I really wanna lean it out and give them new bedding and all that.

I tried the kitty litter scoop method, it turned out to be useless. I find the easiest method is a bucket and disposable vinyl gloves. I carry the bucket in one hand, and the other gloved hand picks up . I use the same glove for a few days, until it gets too disgusting and then get a new one.

Some people gross out the way I do it, sounds like you will find it easy to do too.

I use the glove and bucket method too, if I’m feeling super lazy, I just let the beagle in the run
