Thank you! I moved the older ones to the smaller brooder this morning so that I could clean their side of the big one, and Matilda immediately started screaming because she was upset that she couldn't see the babies anymore
so, I think they'll be just fine. Sunday it is!
Thank you!! Sometimes we just have to use what's on hand, right? I used floral wire to tie two racks together, and to secure it to the handle of the outside of the tote.
I've been debating what to call my homestead, and I think FrakenStead would fit!
Sorry I’ve been out of service all weekend. But oh my cuteness!! And I love the names. How are they doing today?
They're doing okay! Drinking a lot more water, and they have a voracious appetite which I am happy to see. The runt of them all is the Welsh Harlequin, but she's pulling through and showing a lot of strength now so I am much less worried. It seems the boost of vitamins have really helped, and I blended their starter crumbles to make it easier for them to eat. The teenagers (George & Tilly) are being bossy. We did a short introduction today with no resources, and there was a lot of forceful preening which concerned me. Mostly, the teens picked on the Silver Appleyards (attacking their mohawks). I think we will wait a few more days of visible separation before we try again.
