My Easter Eggs!

[3KillerBs]

Thats funny my chicks would rather be outside than inside. Since they wont go into the coop at night.

I don't have a run for the brooder yet. I have plans to add one.

Alas, I have a crossbeak.

Olive Egger no-band is going to be a chicken dinner. Assuming that she can eat well enough to grow up that far.

I don't know anything about the causes or treatment of crossbeaks -- whether it's genetic, environmental, or what. Time to search the articles and threads.

I will be happy if she can eat well enough to grow to harvest size along with the cull cockerels. I'd hate to have to cull a chick to young to eat -- it would be so wasteful and sad.

She should be able to eat lets hope.

Being sick has really screwed up the record-keeping for this batch.

I looked in on them last night just at dark and found them cuddled up nowhere near the brooder plate. Time to get them into the main coop for integration.

I'm feeling a bit better on the latest round of new meds and can start to think about selecting the keepers and getting the others up on Craigslist.

I hope you feel better soon.

Moved them to the integration pen this afternoon. Today's edition of our favorite picture show: Indignant Chicks in Awkward Positions.

I think at least 2 of the Olive Eggers are female.

P.S. Though there are many more photos, there are 14 chicks. 6 olive eggers and 8 Australorp crosses.
