Welcome kidasoto!I'm not in Vernal, but I thought I'd say hi, anyway. Watching the chicks grow is pretty fun. I don't know what I'll do with myself when one of mine gets old enough to start squatting. What breed(s) did you get?
Chiko, that buff mix hen you have is very pretty. Thanks for all the pictures! You've got some good-looking birds. I don't dare get a duck because of how messy I hear they are, but I think they're cute, nonetheless.
Cynthia, I can't remember why you have screws in your neck? The x-rays are interesting to see. And your babies are so cute! I can definitely see feathers coming in on the bum of two of the Exchequers. I hope you get a girl out of the group. Have you gotten your new camera yet? I use Canon's and like them very much. They take a good, clear picture.
Elk - Yes, I'm worried that there are probably more racoons lurking in the area. I have my suspicions that the one that's been raiding my coop is a big momma coon, which means there are probably babies running around. I thought about trying to discreetly slide a board under my broody at night and carefully move her and the nest into a spare coop that's set up inside a run, but I'm really nervous about breaking her of the broodiness. I feel lucky to have even gotten a hen to set, in the first place. I don't know what I should doI don't want to lose her or the babies.
