Nooo no more babies right now. lol I have to build more coops before I get more. Plus DH barely lets me go into tsc anymore. I had to go today and saw them. I only add breeder quality to my flock, so it was fairly easy to pass up, but I would like to see someone give them a good home.

I dont really have any right now. My pullets all started laying, and they are all mixed into one coop for now, so I dont have any idea which hen or pullet is laying what. Some of the pullets are in with their brothers right now, so not hatching eggs until I get it sorted out. You got the last shipment before the chaos started HAHA! Soon I will have more though if anyone wants to keep me in mind. I have pics of my flock on my profile.

can i wash my month old silkie. their covered in gunk

When mine were that young, I'd take a wet rag and get any gunk off but waited till they were feathered to fully bath and blow dry.

I'm not sure if anyone else has done this, but we raised our chicks with 24-7 access to music.
There is a stereo in the room the brooder is in and they got accustomed to classical mostly, but always something relaxing and soothing.
The first time I played guitar for them was fun and I serenaded them with "Blackbird"
Since they've moved outside it seemed something was missing until I dragged a small radio out this evening and it immediately got an audience.
The radio is the black object up near the handle of the rake.
I let them listen for a couple hours until the sun went down and one by one I collected up a pile of Silkies and deposited them in their new home where they once again became a pile. lol

Anyone else expose their chickens to music???

I haven't exposed mine to music, will have to try it out and let you know what they think.

maggie and lucy love music.

but on a sad note, we've come to the conclusion that lucy may die. her leg is either infected, or a band is around it. either way, we may have to amputate and she may not survive without the leg.

Well, the Spring hatching was a little less than I planned, but I did get 15 chicks. Only 3 from the incubator. Those were taken from the hens late term, when they started rejecting the newer babies (only two hens did that). At one point, I thought that the only chick that was going to hatch from the 'bator, It was doing a stressed chirp for a day and a half, so I got another chick from my friend He was 2 weeks older. About 40 minutes after I got him, another chick hatched! Then another hatched this weekend.I have staggered ages in the one brooder. The 3 week old is a great older brother/sister. Still have eggs of all stages of development in the 'bator. I have 3 lavenders (self blue), 6 porcelains (blue cream), 1 black split lavender, 1 blue, and 4 whites Here is a pic of the awesome foster brother/sister. He/she even spread his wings to cover a newborn.
