Oh girl! You crack me up! I feel better about my 18 chickens! I think I have too many... I may be giving Kathryn GLW.. to my neighbor/friend... she said she would take her.. I hate to get rid of a perfectly good egg layer.. but if she causes unrest... then I probably should send her away :idunno... I feel so bad :(

The chickies are adorable... I can’t really tell from pic..
How many do you have now?

Aww.. at least she's going to a friend! Then you can see her every now and then. And don't feel bad! :hugs

Yeah I'm going to take better photos tomorrow. :love

Today I'm dealing with escaping kittens :he they're in the corner with the cat tower... so i thought "great! They'll climb and jump and not be bored and stay there" wrong! They are everywhere!! And if i put them outside no one around here will want them:barnie
 
Oops... I didn't answer your question @WhoDatChick ! and umm yeah I'm up to 30 now. and I might add more since it looks like I got Buff Brahmas....or Cochins... depending on combs and i'm not good with knowing which is which there.

So i couldn't sleep last night... so I took a couple pics of 3 of my new chicks... after looking online and on here it looks like I got some buff brahmas or cochins! COOL!

Chick one is the darkest

Chick 3 is almost all silver with only a tiny bit of red on it's face... it kepted pecking my nails...

but i forgave it when it fell asleep in my hand.. IMG_4008.jpg

All of them in the bin... I'm thinking of duct taping the screen over the top just enough so that i can still slide the one side to refresh water and food. caught the cats eyeing them again. :barnie

I had to cull two of my new chicks tonight... it was hard enough and then it didn't go well cuz I'm a nub... :hit:hit:hit:hit:hit:hit

I feel awful but one was dying already and the other had turned cannibal.. thankfully no more injuries or anything with the others. I'm in tears.. i never thought a chick would do that! I looked it up and sure enough they do do this. :th:hit:hit:hit:hit:hit:hit

Oh my gosh!!! I’m so sorry! I can’t imagine... if you don’t mind me asking.. how was it being a cannibal... I mean, I know but what was it doing? Trying to eat the others??

It was digging at the one chicks eyes, ripped part of the beak off... when i grabbed it it started going at my hand and anyone else who got near it.
I mean I've seen them peck at each other but never like this. I'm starting to wonder if it had a head injury from being shipped to the store.

Everyone else in the inside brooder is calm and happily sleeping now.. i just feel awful...

Awe, I’m so sorry :rolleyes:.... I don’t know what I’d do..but probably make hubs do the dirty work.. he is a duck hunter and at times has to ring a neck if the duck wasn’t killed by the shot..
I hope all is happy and healthy and grow up without anymore issues... and all of your integrating goes smoothly :hugs

Actually my son volunteered to do it but I didn't want him to at this age.
I was distancing my emotions at the start but afterwards it knocked me over... stupid emotions!

But thank you! :loveHopefully no more issues:fl:fl
