Our Mixed Flock Journey!

Well, that’s the one we got a few weeks ago

My brain is tired...I remember now...lol. Such a cute bunny!

My chicks are one week old in a brooder in my house. My chicken coop is our barn divided. The space is 8x18 for the house only and the run 12x18. Later they will be able to go in the yard. In another week my chicks will have to leave the brooder in the house. Can they go to their chicken house? The door to the run is closed and I can provide heat. Is that fine or a few more weeks in a larger brooder better? Please advise me.

Hi & welcome! As long as you can keep them warm, that should be fine. I personally would make their space smaller than 8x18 & give them more room as they grow...they will be safer & easier to keep track of that way!

Good morning everyone!
I think I have a broody hen. Spazzy has been in a nesting box the last 2 nights. My son has been working late & didn't gather the eggs for me. We got home at midnight & I ran out to check on everyone & there she was with 5 eggs under her. I won't know for sure until Friday when we get back home again, hopefully before midnight! I told him to make sure he gets all of the eggs today.
The baby bunnies are growing so fast & I haven't even been able to get pictures! I will get some this weekend! Have a great day everyone!

I need to get in as much as I can, with their plans to move to Hawaii, I won't get to see him nearly as much...

Thank you...I'm loving every minute with him!

@WhoDatChick I had eggs for breakfast before we headed back to my son's house. The faerie eggs had little tiny yolks in them. I had a double yolk Marans egg that I cooked in place of the one my son ate...lolView attachment 2343145View attachment 2343146View attachment 2343147

That tiny egg is hysterical. It IS a Fairy Egg!
