Good to hear that... and I hope the birds are enjoying... here are my comparison picture of 3 of my chicks till 4 months old.

1st chick


2nd chikk


3rd cutie

Beautiful! The first roo has the same comb as mine!

ha ha ha ha, good to hear that, if the world is coming to an end, maybe that is where I should be staying ... and post your coop pics while it's under construction... maybe we'll learn something new from it...

There is only a little bit left to do. I only took one picture while it was beginning to be built, but I don't think you can see much from that.

I remember pics of the second chick wow how they all changed. Mine that hatched in late Dec. have now just started to learn to crow, wow some really need lots of practice or a throat lozenge. I'm still waiting on the hens to start laying, their combs have just really started to turn red,red, so it will be soon.

haha My rooster has been crowing for a while, and I just laugh and tell him "Congratulations, you found your vice! Now put it back where it came from!" lol He just crows at me when I say that. Wouldn't it be nicer that if instead of crowing, roosters peeped in the morning?

Hello everyone,

I have to rebuild my chicken coop we had major flooding and it washed my coop away I have not even found any part of the coop, it is like it never existed, we didn't have any fencing around it but it took two men to move in and mother nature a couple of minutes to take it away. But I still have one coop, the one that is gone was for my chicks that were too young to be put with the rest of the flock. I didn't lose any chickens I had them put up very high and the chicks which are about 8 or 9 weeks old were put into my spare bathtub. The water came up so fast my husband and I and our 3 dogs had to be rescued by boat. Talk about a crazy day and night and then the clean up began and is almost back to normal. Didn't have a lot of water damage inside the house.

Good thing the chickens weren't in there!!!

Here is a picture of Pecker my turkey before I stitched her up.

She sat in my lap while I sewed her up. I guess the stitches can come out in a few more days, What do you think? This is actually the 4th time I closed up her wound the first two times it was wrapped but it didn't work out, then I stitched her up and the other chickens/turkey pulled them out and then the final closure she was inside for a couple of days before I let her go back out to the pen

I sold two of the Dec. hatch roosters today, 5 more to go. These two are going to be the big dogs of their own flock and that makes me so happy to know that. Least they are not in someone's pot. Hope the rest have the same good endings.

Aww. It looks good to me. My concern is that it will get infected...

good job there Kats... and what about the trays any update? you got selected means there is hope

 

[katsdar]

Candyman the trays could not be dated so they said that they are new antiques and will be really worth something when I'm a great grandma. I think it was out of their expertise

Peckers stitches came out I didn't do too bad for a first timer. tho I don't think I'd make a surgeon

I could never do that. Awesome!

3D I was squeamish but I had to do something for her and after putting in one it got easier course it helped that she sat on my lap and didn't move very much.
