The inside coop/living area is going to have a plastic roofing put on over next couple of weeks and the bedroom right at the back is going to be made bigger and two entrances with lots more nesting boxes in for the chickens who will be moving in before we know it

I have been to England AND New Zealand and I FOR SURE there is NO conparison! New Zealand is one of the most gorgeous place I have ever been to and the people there are SO warm and friendly. Bless you all for making the move....
Yup, chicken math is a hard bug to shake...just keeps getting worse and worse.......

Hope you have the "bug" for a long long time...

No, the only ones that get the spa treatment is if the have have pasty butt and I have to clean them up and blown dry them

I am so tickled with the 5 batches of eggs I have purchased this last month. I do have 2 orders of D'Uccles coming soon. I am excited for my granddaughter. She adores them. She adores all of them. She gives them all names and forgets by the next day so she renames them. I just shake my head and smile.

I hope you have great luck with your babies too!!!

I want that chick in pic #7!!
I have fluff envy!!!
How come everyone's chicks look so fluffy??? Mine don't seem to get fluffy like that. Do you fluff them with a fluffer???

I've got 44 chicken eggs and 13 quail in the bator due January 1 (NYD hatch).

Me too. Please share when done. Right now I have 13 babies in the tub, but I am in the process of building a round brooder in the garage. No way I can have 50-60 baby chicks in my spare bath tub for 6 weeks

. Changing the newspaper twice a day now. Man can they poop! Take care and so nice to hear from you.

@LOUPAN wow you chickens look like what we call redsexlinks... The are so awesome! I love your chicken coop! I am going to do a big one like that for my RIRs. My husband just does not know it yet

I have to build another for the seramas and anoter one with individual runs and coops for the silkies to keep all the colors serperate. Less yard to mow for me

But hen I have to stop before I lose a husband

Put more eggs in lock down today, but sadly had to dispose of 5 that never hatched for whatever reason. I always give them a few extra days but with no luck. So I cleaned the bator, heated it up and put the new ones in. More silkies......

know it's just sit and wait time

Oh I almost forgot, I made ANOTHER trade for more silkie/sizzle eggs. Should be here by Saturday. I hope to have 30+ living silkies by March.
