GAMES FOR EGGS and other fun prizes

My hens tend to keep their babies for quite a while. I would've used a pic with younger babies but 2 days after this picture, which was yesterday, Daffodil lost her baby. I came home to find her dead on the floor of the coop. Not sure if someone jumped on her or what.

I had my hen die like that too, our tiniest bantam. I assumed she died of heat stroke, nothing looked wrong with her physically.

i'm so sorry!

Thank you

I'm sorry you both lost the baby. :-( I had one hen die like that, just laying there on the ground, no apparent cause of death.

I'm sorry that you lost yours. It's always so disappointing.

I'm done with pictures pics the night, the tablet is dying. Unless I get bored later and can steal the computer lol

I fell you guys on the dying chicks-I have "Stan Junior-sooo tiny!! but I dont think he could hang with the bigger chicks. I'm trying to revive him now-in his own box with water and grogel but i dont think its looking good. the others were just too big for him and I think he thought they were "mama"... this part of being a chicken mom stinks

Well the little black duck I was worried about, didn't make it.

So, out of the 4 ducks shipped, 2 survived.

so sorry

you too

I'm just glad I only named my original 2, and didn't have high hopes ofr these.

But.... metzer farms is sending me 10 more... so i'll have plenty of time to find more ducks to get attached too. LOL

Is it weird that I certain chicks/ducks stand out to me and I get attached to particular animals for various reasons?

Bummer... for my "behind the curve" chicks I get them micro super worms (make sure to get them to take in grit/sand too)... they perk up more and after a few of those, anywhere I point they run and start getting real interested in what's going on around them... just got 25 shipped chicks from Welp since hatching has been horrible for me... what a difference! Only 1 whining chick, the rest are eating and drinking like they've been in a desert for a week lol... starting to drop n sleep like the dead after an hour or so of straight gorging lol

While looking for pics of me doing something stupid, I realized I do stupid things a lot...
