My best broody raised chicks up through her 7th year. She's mostly blind and retired now. Hasn't gone broody since but she tried to care for the 3 chicks when I transitioned them outside at 6 weeks. Her pen was the best place as she only had one companion.

Molting is getting into full swing here. Had one of the large fowl hens fly past me leaving a heavy trail of feathers.

Nice system! hope to one day have something like a water bar. Connected to a rain barrel.

Hi, just a word to the wise on using gravity fed pipes for water. They get bio-film inside which is really nasty and unhealthy. They need to be cleaned inside on a regular basis, so use pipes that are large enough diameter that you can use a long, long brush inside to scrub. And of course an easy way to open the pipes. Mine was only 3/4" pvc and impossible to clean so I took it out and replaced with 5 gallon buckets with nipples. I like them much better for a variety of reasons.
