MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

A bit of Saturday morning quality time with the not broody crew.

When all else fails, check your friend's diggings in case she uncovered more tasties than you did.

I checked in last week to see if you had chicks yet ~ then forgot to leave a message... So exciting to see Mary sitting.

She seems to have really settled into brooding. So I'll try to catch the neighbours again over the weekend.

IT'S PULLET PICKUP DAY!!!

They're calling me back in 10 minutes to reveal breeds. Then they'll put my three aside until I can get up there later today.

OMG so exciting!!
But I lost the plot somewhere along the way. I thought you were picking up eggs to put under Mary.

What can I say except I can handle more than one project at the same time

If there's one thing learned last time, it's that hatches have no guarantee.

The pullets will be in quarantine for three weeks. If Mary gets eggs today, it'll be three weeks before they hatch. The chicks will need the little coop for a while but I can integrate the pullets without it through shared free range time and shared roosts, especially with the quarantine station in reserve.

Oh yes. I remember now. Very clever. So today you get both pullets and eggs.
Even more exciting!
Where will you quarantine the babies?
