Pipd's Peeps!

All seven babies are out of the incubator! Here are the other four at their leg banding, making it clear that they do not appreciate the man-handling

And just a few pictures of the corn crib crew at their evening socializing today

This one is actually from yesterday, but apparently I missed it in my post earlier! Tash on an, at that point in time, much cleaner towel!

So much cutie fluffiness in one post!

A quick check in with the peeps, first the corn crib crew

Tash and Flint in the feeder. No signs of shame on either face Chicha handily demonstrates how the feeder is supposed to be used at the bottom of the picture

Polenta in my hand, which is worth 2 Polentas in the bush, you know

Flinty the troublemaker pooping up the top of the EcoGlow!!

This one's a bit out of focus, but here's Pudding and Chowder after thoroughly making sure the mole on my hand was not edible.

Pudding and Chicha by the waterer that they painstakingly filled with dirty shavings

And the little tinies in the small brooder next door. Look at all those footsie pajamas!!

I was trying to get a picture to show how eensy-weensy these guys are compared to the goons next door, but even this picture makes this little one look bigger than she actually is! They're so small

Too funny that the chicks are already being naughty! Flinty seems to have a lot of personality. I forget is she a green egger?

She's one of the Easter-eggers, so hopefully a green or blue egg layer, but we'll have to wait and see

And yes, she's a stinker! She's usually the ringleader to their shenanigans in the big brooder. Yesterday, I went to sit with the Cochin babies to get them socialized as well, and Flint flew up on top of the feeder bin because she just couldn't wait her turn!

Notice the other chicks are getting up on the EcoGlow now, too, in the background At least now I can put the waterer up there so they aren't filling it with shavings all the time.

Four more beautiful Blue babies hatched out overnight

Oh, and in other somewhat exciting news, Johnnycakes figured out the perch in the big brooder! It's so infrequent that any of my kiddos figure that out in there, though maybe that's because usually my kiddos are all Cochin bantams

Editing to add (because guaranteed I will forget I did this today and then not remember how many days are left in the round), with the relatively wet weather we've been having, I noticed Opal's babies were looking a bit droopy and there was one questionable dropping in the nest, so I went ahead and started them on Corid for a possible bout of coccidiosis. Since it's not worth waiting for symptoms to show up in the other peeps, I also put Kya's babies and the older brooder babies that have moved outside on a round of Corid just to be safe. They all seem fine, so hopefully there won't be any complications along the way and they'll recover well.
