Hi Everyone
I am so Happy to find you!!
We have just recieved our little peeps and they are now 4 days old and peeping as I write.
Yes, they are here in the kitchen with me,ggg
It was love at first sight
My Hubby and I live on 1 1/2 acres near Kingston, Ontario.
Keeping us company here on our little acre are 6 dogs, several canaries(now busy raising young) a couple of little baby budgies and now 13, 4 day old Rhode Island Reds.
My Hubby is partly retired, working only 3 days per week and I....drive school bus.
We did hobby farm many years ago so it's natural for us to return to our roots, and peeps are part of that!
We are home body types and enjoy our animals/birds both tame and wild. Have gardens both veggie and flower....which we are always working to expand. Our kids think we're nuts but happy nuts
and the grandkids have a fun adventure when they visit.
We are enjoying learning about chickens in our back yard again. Busy getting a coop/run ready for our little peeps.
Better to be busy than sit about getting old,eh?? If getting old...add all the adventures/new experience one can!! We love having life of all types around us.
I do have a question for you and appreciate your help
Since raising finch/canary babes I'm used to making up a salad for them of grated carrot/broccoli buds/quinoa/sprouted seeds/hemp seed/ground flax seed etc plus lettuce/dandilion.
So......can this mix be fed to the peeps???
How old are they before I can give them lettuce or grass/dandilion???
They are on chick starter and I give them a bit of oatmeal flakes as a little treat which they just devour!
I look fwd to hearing from you and learning all we can about chickens in our backyard!
We heard about you when reading some chicken books and found you on line thru a link.....so happy we did
Until later
Sus
