Kat’s Journey into Chicken Keeping

[LaFemmeKatia]

Well, it’s that time of year again.
I have added these little cuties to my flock.
They are Lavender Ameraucanas. There will be more blue eggs in my future.

Good morning folks

Here’s a peep update:
Almost three weeks old

So yesterday I decided it was time to move the babies to the large outside brooder. Their tub was getting small and they were trying to fly out. Plus, face it, looking at the walls of a tub is boring for a chicken.

I think they like it!

Meanwhile THIS happened in the hen house.

Yes, my broody Buff Orp has been sitting on a nest of duck eggs.

Wow, that looks like a great space. They will have room to grow and look out the window at the big wide world!

That is what I love most about it. They can grow up seeing the older flock members and all the comings and goings in the yard.

That is a great brooder. I'm sure they love it a lot more than the tub.
