Having great fun with my new chicks today. These two are so fun to watch I took them out for a photo shoot (porcelain & lav). :D




 
Well, I have my very first, broody hatched chick!! There are 4 girls all hatching together, hmmm Silkies! Not sure who the mom is of this chick, they all take care of it! It is running them all crazy, and spends a lot of time in the run, hanging with his daddy! When it gets cold, it stands in between the legs of the roo! This is a new experience for me, I've never had the chance to watch chickens raise their own, and now, I CAN!!! Three others hatched today, and there is no telling how many more. These gals are sitting tight, and belive me, they are attack dogs when it comes to their eggs and the little prizes! I won't be putting my face down to look more closely at a chick,,,that's all I'm gonna say!

The Splash girl here is "Splish". Not sure if she is mom or auntie, it doesn't seem to matter! Gosh, they look sooooo tiny outside!

awww too cute!

What a cute picture!! I'm still smiling! :D
 
so since i haven't posted a picture of my muffin lately , figured why not ? lol out of the original 3 pastries she ended up being the only pullet, she's a very fluffy one and my 1 year old's favorite. she really loves sitting and petting her & cupcake (muffin's bestie) ...


 
Haha! This has got to be a cockerel. He looks like he can't get into the coop?? He leaps in there and tears around the place! I ended up putting a small ramp so it would be easier, and he bypasses it! I had run out of waterers for the outside pen with chicks, so I put a stainless steel bowl in a ditch I dug out for it to sit in. Put some rocks in the bottom in case anyone of the babies fell in, and this little dude found it all by himself. Some of the adults went to their pan this morning, so this little guy bellies up to HIS bowl, and just starts drinking like the rest of them! The girls were all excited and cackleing like, "be careful! don't fall in the water!!!" He didn't, and if he did, it is an easy out with the rocks in there. I am so glad I let them all set on these eggs, now for the Partridge girls to see some hatching! Every last Silkie girl of age has gone broody here!
