Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I am adopting a special need Silkie cockerel tomorrow from Catdance Silkies(Kelar on here). I will be going to her farm in Yacolt in the morning. He will be paired with my Porcelain pullet that has a lot of smut and is NOT going to be in my breeding program. They will be pets that get to live happy chicken lives here on our little farm. He has wry tail, a curved spine(that does not affect him) and his lower beak is a little too long and needs filed from time to time. But he is gorgeous and has a great personality Karen says. So he will be my "lap" chicken. Gonna name him Buckbeak and call him Buck. I am not taking any money with me and just ONE cat carrier for him to come home in. I really CAN'T bring home any more birds, my DW would kill me.

I just had to say that I think that is beautiful! Made my day!

Anyway, thats all there is, I know I've been gone a long while, I don't see alot of my old peeps on here?

I hope everyone has a wonderful and Blessed weekend!

Hi Julie

, I'm glad you are finally doing a bit better. I'm sorry you are going through so much, and that you have to downsize. When I first met you , you were just up-sizing. Ah, it's the way of life sometimes. We are getting rid of the Muscovies this year - we need to get the pasture back into shape.

Get the surgeries done - got mine done and I'm really glad I didn't put it off!

They look to be 4-5 weeks old. I would maybe move the light a little closer to see if that quiets them up. And you are using a chick waterer, you don't need rock/marbles in those, and don't need them after the first week. The only time I use marbles is in the gallon or bigger waterer and only for the Silkies(seem to fall asleep more). I put a small funnel glued to the top of my chick waterer to keep them off of them.

4-5 makes more sense to me..... They've def settled more now that they've been here for 24hrs.... They're def more comfortable in the crate.....
Eta: I will try to get a hold of the feed store mgr where I bought them to see if she has the actual hatch date....

I've been outside. Now, I'm having a bite to eat and a cup of tea. I need to remember to pace myself.
