The chicks are my first hatch, so they are mutt chickens. (Cochin/Brahma roo, and Barred Rock hen and also Black Star hen) and the pups...well...mom is a Boxer/Shepherd and dad is a mystery mutt. There will be a trip to the spay/neuter clinic after the little rascals have gone to their new homes in a couple months. Luckily I have lined up several homes in advance for these guys. They are so adorable!
And now...in the bator, 6 PIPS!!! and Peeping!! I clucked and peeped and they responded!
Ok Im working on the pics...but I just went out to my hay shed to check on the dog, and we have a final total of 9 puppies! I guess she wasnt done when I went to bed last night!
Ok, so heres a question:
2 more eggs are left, 1 is pipping now, the other is not showing any signs.
When is it ok to start moving chicks to the brooder?
