I got a nice green corduroy vest for Christmas, and was just today thinking how very useful it will be for Monroe (although nobody could pinch me anyway: one of my earrings and my wedding ring are emeralds).

OK so keep in mind these were at night and I was trying to fend off a very protective Silkie momma. But here are pics of my red headed step children !

My Silkiebator did 5/5

Key- ute! Congrats to you and the silkie mama!

Here is my first EE from Poseidon....

I am pretty sure Latte is the mama...

Need to get a photo of Poseidon..... He is a Blue Ameraucana I got from Cloverleaf

Thinking of naming the chick sleepy since it loves to fall asleep on it's feet with head on the floor.

What a beautiful Chick! Curious about the wood pellets you have her on, have you put the little ones on that bedding before? It really makes a fine sawdust and I think I lost a couple chicks when I tried it. I think they were eating the sawdust and everytime I saw them they had full craws and I didnt think much of it until my dd brought one to me that she felt wasnt well and it weighed next to nothing. Not sure that was the reason why but if you have had good luck with the pellets maybe thats not why I lost my 2 chicks. They were older tho, buckeyes.

I've had a few batches on wood pellets... I want to try alfalfa pellets to see if it does the same thing with keeping them dry and stink free.
So far I've not had any issues... I do put a towel down for the first 2 days where they learn about food and water before access to pellets.
If alfalfa pellets do the same I think that would be better since they can eat it as food too.
I'll be trying that with a batch or two as well soon.

I track the feed levels and make sure it is getting eaten (not dumped) as well as check the fluffies for weight/feel everyday.

One thing tho it sure keeps the stink down!
