well apparently I was a day off on my hatch date. I just went out to the coop and my SLW has one chick sitting next to her and it sounds like a few more underneath her.

Pictures required by law!

Congratulations! Will she let you post photos?

Only one was poking its head out so far

Woohoo! Grats, I cannot wait until the day comes where my chickens will hatch their own chicks!

scandia - White Jersey Giants should have willow green legs, so perhaps that is what you got. Are your others Blacks?

Hey all!
@Rhetts what a Bonnie hairy coo. I like buttercup too. Interesting fact I read about highlander cattle just this spring is that early U. S. Settlers brought in these cattle to cross with their harifords or angus, etc to get better winter hardiness. They are so neat!

Mistahbue sorry about all the chick troubles. That's heartbreaking and disappointing.

Cyrus glad to see some baby SLWs there. Love broody and chick pictures. Always a wondrous time.

Ralphie enjoy Togo. I should get out a map. My good friends from Sauk Rapids always head to the cabin in Effie and can't get enough. My mom , sister and I are headed to Ely for a road trip and mukluk shopping trip. Sis wants a pair. Neither have never been there! Can't get over it. My aunt- in-law has a cabin on vermilion so I guess that's why I'll be the lead tour guide on this trip. Any body know any up and coming little restaurant in Ely that we should check out? Other than the chocolate moose?

Welcome john. I have a mixed flock of 10 birds. New Hampshire, black Australorp, silver laced hatchery mutt, 3 EAster Eggers, buckeye, blue laced red Wyandotte, buff silkie, and a creamette aka crested cream legbar on the Minnesota thread.

Yes, I hadn't thought about that at all! Thank you!

Nordic if you're still debating how "to do it"--there are a number of threads I believe with suggested quick ways to deliver baby chicks to a better place. None of which are appealing I'm sure. But I always go for quick and painless as possible.

60 pages. I'll go back in read but first.....came home and let the chickens out. They forage in the garden, in the raspberry patch - there are fences about 3/4 way around this field.

went in the house to change and heard a ruckus so bad I came flying out in my underwear. I stopped to put shoes on though to my regret. Chickens hysterical and everywhere. On top of the shed, on top of fences, in corners, up trees, totally scattered. I thought hawk, so kept looking up while I tried to get them together. Finally got them close enough in the run that I could count, came up one short.

Found a few feathers, then a few more. followed a trail but lost it. Spent an hour in the woods, up the road, etc. no sign. That was Grace, my sweet pratically rumpless black ee. She was a hefty girl, I don't see how a fox could have taken her but that is probably what it was. A dog would have likely just killed her and gone for more, right?

If I hadn't stopped for shoes....I might have gotten there in time.
