July 2022 Hatch-A-Long

[WIchickMama]

How is everyone's July babies doing? I have 3 pullets left, the 2 rooster have been rehomed to an FFA student, and they are getting so big. 2 have EE muffs/beards and 1 does not, so likely just a barnyard mix. Two roost with the big girls at night and 1 just won't stop getting in the nesting box at roosting time. I put her up on the roost and a majority of the time she stays, but ever-so-often she gets back in there-ugh. I might have to start blocking off the boxes after like 3 pm

I just kept the EE and rehomed the BYM to a lovely local. She’s such a sweetie! This group has stayed very friendly and easy to handle luckily. I move them from a pen to the coop every night until the younger chicks they’re with are bigger. It’s been so cold lately and snowy!

I had straight run and others ordered from Meyer in July,

These are some of them. Anyhow, something had broken a window I was using as a door the other day, (the open area above) Missing pullets, of course...

I covered it with a board using eyehooks and zipties.
This morning a diff window was broken, but this one was double paned.

I covered remaining windows with wire fencing. I did have a cage out, (skunk sized, but maybe it needs to be bigger.

All windows had been used in the past for 10 years or so

A local person said she had an owl that broke a window to get to the chickens. I also saw a video on you tube of an owl that broke a window to get to chickens.
