Morning everyone! It's a bit chilly here, but it looks to be a lovely day. Yesterday turned out really nice, too! No wind at all. I didn't know what to think. (And thank you, lovely weather people, for being 10 degrees low in your prediction, LOL! I enjoyed your error very much.)
It seems quiet and relatively empty without my little fuzzies. I am running pretty lean on birds here now, and I think I will try to leave it that way for the time being.
Oh Holly, I am so sorry to hear about your chick accident! I have had very good luck using an old rabbit cage for a bantam brooder. The cage is at least 24" x 24." The bottom is solid plastic and has sides that come up a few inches to keep the drafts down, the bars are close together, and there are doors on front and top so you can control entry. I was even able to snap a clamp lamp to the top.
sunflower, congrats on your move! It's great weather to do it, that's for sure.
believer, glad to hear your training is coming along.
My chickens have me trained for fetching snacks, opening doors, more fetching snacks, and general housekeeping. They occasionally throw me an egg or two as my reward.
1newegg, congrats on your hatch! Thanks for posting pictures of your little fuzzies. It's so hard to believe they start out so small! What a miracle it is watching them hatch and grow. It almost restores this old cynic's faith in the world. Almost.
And it looks like SimplySplendid had a nice hatch too! Looks like they're lined up for a Broadway show. Can they high-kick in unison?
CluckyJay, thanks for the day lily pic. That must have been around JUNE. I love it when those come into bloom!
I think CityGirl is out of town today, but I am going to be harassing her soon if she doesn't come back to the sandbox and play with us.
Have a good day, everyone! Enjoy the weather.
