We had several periods of snow flurries yesterday each lasting well over 30 minutes to an hour. More of the same is expected today at points but I don't think it will be as drawn out as yesterday seemed to be. Gonna be 45 or so degrees tomorrow and warming beyond that later in the week.
 
What a day. Getting my brooder ready for today’s new chicks (3 Marans), I noticed my BC Marans separating herself from the others. This is hanging out of her butt...

Put a thread on the Emergencies forum, so far they seem to think it’s just a membrane, which I gotta get out of her. BEFORE I pick up my chicks. Yikes.
 
Pella (the Marans above) is fine. Just a membrane. I pulled it out no problem, and before I knew it one of the other girls ate it!:sick Chickens are gross. We love them, but they can be really gross.

My first new feather babies of 2020 are in the brooder!! :love 3 Marans from Kim Renninger, a White, a Black Copper, and a Red Mottled. I think they are all girls, time will tell. Pics tomorrow, promise!:wee

(I just hope that heat lamp is enough for them. The brooder is out in the uninsulated chicken coop, and it is bitterly cold out there.:confused:)

Anybody know anybody in Southeast PA selling quail chicks? I got a little “bird” chirping in my ear about it, and it JUST WON’T STOP!:th
