I'm new to chickens and just hatched four of my neighbor's eggs. The first three are in the picture. Sadly, three didn't hatch. They are growing like weeds in their little brooder that we made from a deep drawer with a wire cover to keep the cat from having a tasty lunch. They love dried grubs which I am using to make them love me. Hubby built me a nice coop that is in my pictures. I need to paint it this coming week before they are ready to go outside. I live in the PNW USA near Brookings, OR. We are up river 4 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
Ouch! I can't imagine having needles put into my feet or really anywhere else. I realize that they are the thing to do which doesn't bother me except no needles for me! I have wrinkles that decorate my body rather well. LOL
from California. I remember when I stumbled on this site years ago. read for a long time before I jumped in and it's like quick sand. You kind of just stay here with all the cool chicken people.
