My babies are now 9 weeks old...someone forgot to tell them to quit growing up so fast!

I know the feeling, mine are 9 weeks too and they already look like miniature adult silkies now. Two of my roo's are already crowing and have been for a while now.

I heard one of mine crowing this morning...not quite sure who but I have two suspects in mind. I have to avoid all the feed stores right now because I'm afraid chicken math will kick in and I just know I'll somehow convince myself I need 2 or 5 or 10 more. LOL.

I am impatiently waiting for my 8 more chicks to arrive in April. >.<

Same here. I've been avoiding going into my local TCS because they've been getting their chicks for a week and if I go in I'll want then all. But I've already ordered chicks from MPC for April.

I work at TSC lucky me xD the temptation is great. I'm waiting to see if we get silkies at my store.

Took each of the girls (2 Easter Eggers, Golden Comet, Buff Orp, Barred Rock Plymouth) out of the brooder box for 5-10 minutes and we watched the Oscars together.
One of the Easters decided my belly was comfortable enough for a nap.

30 Days and counting down!!! Went to a feed store to look at their chicks to see how big the feet were. I am planning on building a small adjustable perch for the babies that can be raised and diameter increased as needed. What size should I start with? PS There were no chicks, feed store gets their shipment this Friday. I will NOT buy any!!!(Avoid chicken math)?? BB
