Surviving Minnesota!

She is in a cage, going to the show. I am entering her in the Canadian Division...

I have been feeding her vitamins all the expensive stuff. I did not give her ACV I don't think. She is so scrawny..

We need her for the 4x4 pre-qualifier. All birds count, Pretty does not.

You mean she contemplated that there was a big hole there and then fell into it? Or did she backup and b4 she even fell? This communication could be urinating! I just don't understand!

She must have remembered falling last time, she looked down and backed up.

As of this writing, Sunny appears to maybe be getting broody....

She's been in the nesting box a lot the last few days. Today she never left it. Tonight at bedtime instead of being piled up in the corner with the others she's still sitting in the box.

We get 2 eggs a day. Had those couple of days they dropped off (after I ziptied legs) but otherwise 2/day. She was sitting on two eggs. I took one, but left one just out of curiosity. Do I dare add a couple of eggs to her over the next few days? Everything else is in the fridge.

I still haven't hung my Reflectix. Hope that'll be fine. Too late to let her go broody?

I wouldn't let her brood at this time of year.

 

[duluthralphie]

Me either..

I wouldn't let her brood at this time of year.

This was my thought. My daughter is doing a school project on her chickens and is excited about the idea of chicks.

A) I'm not sure she's broody. She's young and it's been a day.
B) wrong time of year for babies.

Does she do the pancake she you reach into the nest?

?

 

[duluthralphie]

Flatten out and pretend you are not there...or make a squeal that says..go away....or snap at you..

 

[Tfred1399]

Definitely flattens. Has not snapped. Makes some sort of throaty coo that I have not heard before.

I reach in from the top. She lays real low when you reach in.
