Internet is a pain in general.

I finally found my camera!!! While hatching Faverolles I somehow got a Faverolle X Australorp. One of the Australorp roosters must have got in with the hens. Anyway, it looks like an Australorp only with feathered feet and brown streaks down its back and wings.

Not good. Chicks are still dying, the bigger ones (not by much) keep trampling them to death. So I had to borrow a heat lamp from our neighbours and split the bigger ones up from the smaller ones. Hoping this works. :/

Yes, separating the ones that are trampling from the ones that are being trampled will keep the trampling from happening.

Nine hours of sleep all in the same weekend?!?!?!?! I've got to go camping!!! lol
Glad the chicks and chickens are well!
Yeah, they do grow up fast.

How was the camping? Anything interesting happen?

 

[Mr MKK FARMS]

Why how much sleep did you get over the weekend?? lol

Yup.

Not really, played games, fished, went swimming in a freezing lake (not quite but it was cold), and went boating. It was pretty good.
