All of my new chicks ventured outside today. They and the ducklings come out in fits and starts. The little mallards seem to like to be with the big hens. Here are a couple of pictures:




Just look at that beautiful blue on them!

Poor RaZ...

You are so going to miss those pretty ducks when they fly the coop.

I am with you on the orange! I tried to choose the darker colours thinking they weren't painful to read. Then I foolishly told Raz the orange was bothering me, so of course he had to keep using it. Weasel.

Weasel? I'm a Fox, baby!

My deprived little kids just can't wait for dinner to be done. I don't normally let them snack when dinner is baking, for obvious reasons, but today I gave in and they are snacking on plain raw spinach and mushrooms. Poor, poor children think they are getting a special treat.

I am not telling them, and I hope no one else does, either! *snicker*

Quote: OH! That is a good piece of advice there. I am going to do that!

Juise- yes, my son does have an inhaler and has been staying inside also. Let's hope these kids outgrow it somewhat.

Welcome Ladyrsanti!

I am in Grand Rapids and there are quite a few of us from West Michigan.
I hope you can sort through our silliness on here and get all the info you need.

Please ask any questions you would like - no question is too dumb. Chickens are a mysterious and curious bird!
We have had quite a bit of illness in W. Michigan lately so I you might want to read up on biosecurity for your flock.
Seems like W. Michigan has been the area where respiratory disease has come up most often.

This is a great site for learning about any aspect of raising chickens that is confusing! Enjoy!

CG, Your son should get sun. Even if it is hanging out in a sun room... The sun has healing abilities. Just ask depressed people. Tumeric is another thing to try. It is also heart benificial. Licorice root tea as well. Steep the tea for 10 minutes, strain out the licorice... A teaspoon of honey in hot water 3 times a day.... these are just a few simple things...
