Had the realtor come to look at the house today to see what they think it would sell for and what needs to be done. They did recommend rehoming the chickens if I could. So I called the friendly lady who took my Roo and I asked (or begged sorta) if she would take my girls for a few months until we had our new place. Of course I would pay her to take care of them. She said YES! I'm so happy because it means probably a better sale of our home and I still get my girls back!

As soon as the weather permits, I get the chicks outside in a 'playpen'...that way they are 'in the dirt scratching' and they get to meet the flock and are still protected....I've had older girls take the young ones under their protection and had the main roo take a baby boy under his wing on the roost...and the boys will always want to take care of the girls....

x's 2 on the nice weather and chick play...it is fun watching them sun themselves. First time we saw that we thought something was wrong...one by they just started laying down and rolling onto their sides..all relaxed...then we realized..geesh, their just soaking up the rays

I can not get my butt in gear today. Got a list a mile long and can't seem to figure out what to do first, or next, or at all. Perhaps a cup of coffee will help get this show on the road.

Not chicks, but I got tired of Woking in the rain, spent the day inside playing with bunnies

awesome!! love the "play-pen"...is this their set-up or do you have pens for them? We are making off-ground pens, they will be outside.

LMP This is the living quarters for the doe's, 5 of them bred at various times, the bucks are in their own cages so that I can keep track of breeding.. Had one deliver 8 kits this morning....I have a second similar pen for weaning kits into till they are big enough for :oops:. Dinner. My set up is inside the barn, but others have been successful at doingtis outside.

picked up my bourbon red turkey eggs today :) I put my largest chicken egg next to them for comparison lol. I'll be putting them in the bator on Saturday after my hatch finishes up :) think they'll be ok to wait that long or should I just put them in now.

Toss them in now. Higher humidity for a few days won't hurt them & you get babies sooner.

ok. Do you think this will work ok? I took all but 2 trays off my auto turner and put the turkey eggs in the turner and my soon to hatch eggs in an egg carton on the other side. I'm just afraid of a baby getting stuck under the turner.

of course I did a quick candling while I was reorganizing lol. No internal pips yet but babies were wiggling and pushing against that air cell :)
