Drove 3.5 hours one way to pick up hatching eggs. Yes I know, crazy woman. Down 75 to Cincinnati and over to Indiana and back. Currently have 18 JG eggs in the bator. Blacks, blues and splash.No chicks yet in coop think only 2 should hatch, dang it. Quail are laying and the guinea hen is getting on my nerves! She freaks out if I go out there with my hood up on my sweatshirt! Goofy girl! Mottled Cochin chicks are getting feathered out well and they are so friendly!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Anyone looking for a Buttercup rooster in the Cincinnati area is welcome to come get mine. He is ~ 4 weeks old and strutting his stuff! I am keeping the girl that hatched out with him.
 
Random question. I clean my coop weekly and every time have been noticing a large amount of feathers and fluff in the bedding. I mean a LARGE amount, in the run too. My ISA's are about 3 months old, should they be losing this many feathers? None of them look patchy or like they are missing any, maybe I'm just over reacting...

Not crazy at all. I drove 3 hrs to sell some Swedish Flower Hen Chicks & some Silver Ameraucana chicks. Picked up a gorgeous Splash Silverudd's Blue rooster.

findlaychickens the 3 month molt is considered their juvenile molt. Totally normal.
