Loving the chick life!

We also got a whole bunch of Cornish Hens and White and Bronze butcher Turkeys!

I'm building a slightly bigger version than this. I'm super excited!

 

[Chook Kingdom]

Good stuff! That looks sharp! It'll work!

P.S. Forgot to mention Crow's batch of 20

!

 

[Chook Kingdom]

I hope it works! I'm so excited for you!

That beakless chick just died! It was very sad to see him stretched on the floor, motionless...Crow was very angry about it as well! But not something you want to hear right now!

 

[itokuzu]

Noooo! Poor baby... Which is odd since a lot of people Debeak their chickens..

What breed is crow?

I'm excited for it! Gonna paint the door red and the roof red. Moms idea to match it to the house

Well, he didn't die because of the beak issue, it was because he had a digestive problem and couldn't process food correctly. He didn't grow a single feather for a whole week! That's the best sign that his foot is just being let out instead of getting any protein from it

!

Crow is a Australorp hen. She is very gentle and, which is pretty rare, lets anyone put their hand under to snatch her chickees without making any jester of disapproval! She won't let anyone into her nest besides people. Once a Rhode Island Cock tried to get in and she hackled him into submission to Super-mama!

Good choice for the paint! That'll look sharp, I think I'll paint my coops red too!

Aww.. Least I know what to look for if I breed my Ayams :3 I'm really hoping my buff orpington gets broody for me :3 having her hatch my Ayams would be great! Otherwise incubator here I come *sadly looks at pockets*

Oh goodness! Go mama crow!

Red is a pretty color and it makes for decent heat intake.

How many eggs do you think a buff ORP can hatch?

 

[itokuzu]

Enough that I can have a few Ayams. Especially since they aren't that great at laying (Ayams not buffs)
