Redinator's First Hatch-Along w Bonus Broody: Extended Edition

[redinator]

All so super duper adorable!! It's SO much fun hanging out with chickens.

Most relaxing day I've had in weeks. Maybe I'll read this later and remember all the chaos and drama and decide not to hatch for awhile

That's doubtful! It would be for me anyway.

I was just calculating when the last chicks would lose their fluff . . . but honestly . .March would be the earliest I'd do another hatch.

Having them in the house has been a lot of fun, but it makes integration take longer and the cleanup takes a few days in between batches.

If I don't allow myself to hatch more until I get set up properly for outdoor brooding I'll definitely get more done without running around caring for chicks all winter and be motivated to actually do it, lol.

But if someone goes broody I won't stop them, lol.

Oh, I'm wondering if anyone noted the combs on Snickers and Dutch?View attachment 4213954View attachment 4213957

Sure did. Little fluffy butt is going to be the most handsomest and the smartest and bestest protector and provider you'll own.

Little fluffy butt doesn't sound very mighty, lol.

It's a gif of a big black handsome fluffy butt rooster. Feel free to show it to Dutch so he has something to aim for.

I feel bad for Kettle because the ladies just ignored him and he's so handsome.

They seem to switch off from time to time. Him and Taz don't fight often and seem to co-court . . . one dances the other mounts, then they switch. Taz is also more respectful to the girls so they like him more.
