soo cute once again sorry for your loss i know it must really suck

how is the predator proofing going?

Well since we lost our polish rooster which was our rescue rooster and only big fowl rooster. We rescued another and he is in bad shape! FLEAS ALL OVER! If I touch him I get like 20 lice on me. He was fighting with other roosters so he is are scarred and beaten... He is a splash marans and has so much potential! But were also looking at an Andalusian rooster on here for now.
We are putting up a fence these next 2 weeks. Girls are in the pen until then.
The fox killed our cat in our barn where our girls are... Found it today...

i just got my new chicks in this morning from the teacher in Dallas. i was really worried to add them to the brooder because of the size difference (i swear scouts honor that i have only had the older chicks for 9 days) and the fact that they where acting lethargic. It really scared me; when looking for my save-a-chick packets my ma told be that she threw the blue yeast packets away (we get new yeast every year). I darn near had a heart attack i have some save-a-chick on the way from amazon but it not going to be here till later on this week.

they spent most of the day at the heat lamp (i started them on medicated chick feed until the save-a-chick gets here) but they did start running around when one decided to play keep-away with a Caterpillar so i hope I'm worrying for nothing.

on a side note i think the farmer played this teacher for her money (i don't think any of these are "show" quality like the farmer said). while I'll say the blue\Grey colored chick threw me off they do not look like Brahmas none of them have feathered legs.
the pic does the color of the chick little justice the blue\Grey chick is next to the large yellow chick on the wall



every one is in bed and asleep

the new brooder penthouse is open for businesses

i added a 8ft by 3ft rectangle to the existing 4ft by 2.5ft brooder heck by space standards i could add one more chick to make a grand total of 15 so much for only wanting 6

We all have that lonely one....
