Raising Baby Peeps?

[Country Heart]

Just wondering how many of us chicken folk will be raising baby peeps this spring...

If you mean day-old chicks and not folks who hatch them off then I will fall into that group tomorrow - hopefully!

I'm raising six right now, that I picked up from a hatchery.....they are 2 Buff Orphingtons, 3 Golden Laced Wyandottes, and one Speckled Sussex. They're really cute....they are two weeks old now and I just love them. I also have some eggs in the incubator.

Can you tell who is on the top and bottom of the order yet or is it too early to tell?

I've got 8 peeps...9days old. They seem to set an order, but 5 of them are SLW and I get them mixed up.
(@ least I hope they are SLW... kind of look BRish)

BR are fun and nice looking too.

Yep, I'll be getting chicks in early May.

I have 48 right now in brooders in the house, and 2 ducklings. Waiting on the last ones to get here.
