You can never have to much of a good thing! Told DD that we were done hatching eggs at the end of May and then after fair what happens we add 7 Welsummer chicks

Started out with just 8 chickens for eggs...... and today we have 34 various age chickens-hope DH doesn't do a head count

Baby update-they are getting wing feathers and 1 girl has some tail feathers starting!

I am glad to hear that they are doing well.

They grow sooooo fast!

Oh yes, they do grow so fast!

Well, sad morning- one of the little boys started acting like it was having hick-ups late yesterday afternoon- not wanting to eat or drink, not sure what was causing it, he didn't make it. All the others seem fine this am, so not sure.

Yay! I can finally join this thread. Got my baby Wellies yesterday.

Already in chicken-love!






And already doing chicken math in my head... now how to convince hubby?

You won't be sorry! Wellies are a delightful bird.

not moldy feed, our friend, who is also the poultry leader for our 4-H club, and her daughter where over yesterday late afternoon and they think that he might have had problems with his lungs-maybe a broken air sac-he was having a hard time breathing so of course he couldn't eat or drink-even though we tried an eye dropper. The other six are doing great, in fact they are eating right now and running around the crate!
