Redinator's First Hatch-Along w Bonus Broody: And Everything Thereafter

I'm sorry you weren't able to find the right matches. But at least they'll be going to a great home.

Honestly I got them as an "impulse buy" out of the $1 chick bins at TSC, so I didn't really have a plan for them from the start.

They are super sweet and friendly but I'd be more worried them since I free range. I'd be inclined to keep them penned longer than the standards because we have small hawks that could snatch them until they're well over 10-12 weeks old.

I get that for sure. I'm sure they'll be very happy at their new home.

How is Sweety doing?

She's back to her old self, looking for treats and cuddles. Apparently Kettle is jealous because he came at me again today. He's lucky I already had a turkey in the freezer

I'm hoping I'll be able to combine it with this:

It should work great for an outdoor brooder for chicks up to 4 weeks old depending on the weather and number of chicks. Once they no longer need heat they'll go in the run with chick hut and pen.
