Raising Chicks has been a Joy

Week One- in the house 5/31/18View attachment 1439551


Week Two-- They have the whole coop to themselves View attachment 1439553 at 2 1/2 weeks I stopped using the heat lamp, it was warm enough at night with the coop windows & doors clased
View attachment 1439555 They loved running around the run

At the end of week 2 they figured out the "porch sitt'n roost branch" All they chickens I have ever had loved to sit in the evening until it was just about dark View attachment 1439559


Now they are 3 weeks old, sleep on the lowered roost, no heat lamp, just living the Chicken Dream Life

I love your signature, very inspirational.

Well, I hope all of the new feathers have come in and we are done with "Feather Season". They are all over the place. the new chickens are 16 weeks old. They could start laying anytime.

This is a soft shell/no shell egg


I am not to sure who dropped it

I could be a "first egg" for one of the new hens or the odl hen that has been laying non stop for 2 years did it

Well, the one new chicks that laid the first egg, laid 4 and then skipped a few days and laid one today. I have read it is normal for new layers to do this in the beginning.
