@GG, Goldie looks fabulous! Keep doing what you are doing! ♡♡♡♡♡ thanks so much for the update.

@kurby, I love your new coop. Big congratulations! I look forward to seeing where it lands and your new flock enjoying their new family and home. Spoiled girls.
Sorry about your honey 🤭 part of the club now.

Such a pretty lady!! What is her name? My girl is Charlie (full name Charmander - the 5 year old named her 😆). She’s the only one I have left of my very first 5 chickens I got last Apr

My gal pictured is named Rose (aka Rosie Doo). I named her that because of the 6 GLW's i got last year, she is the only one with a single comb. i thought the other girls all had rose combs and so i named her Rose b/c of the sheer irony. I now think these are cushion combs, but either way as much as they all look alike, she stands out with her single comb, lol. What happened to your other 5 chickens or do i dare ask?!

Yay for fluffies @TropicalBabies !! Keep the pictures coming! I can’t wait to see yours too @pennyJo1960 ! Makes me want mine to hurry up and be done cooking too! 🤪

How’s the weather today @GoatsandGuineas ?? Your ladies get some sun and warmth at all? How is Goldie?

@FrankieDoodle I hope Iris starts turning a corner! Is he on any antibiotics? It sounds like maybe there’s still some infection in there somewhere perhaps?

I picked up my new coop today! I’m not sure I will set up the run for now, gonna see how things go with just the coop! We might take the automatic door off the run and install it on the big coop instead! I also carried the thing into the run and decided I don’t like it there, so we have to move it again tomorrow 😆 The husband already bonked his head once…he’s gonna love doing it again tomorrow 😆😆 Can’t wait to move the new chickens outside tho haha…SO over the indoor crowing and dogs trying to eat the chicken poo inside the crate!

That’s a clever name! I like it :)

Well out of the 5 chicks we got…one sadly died two days after we got them. It was really tiny and just failed to thrive. And the other 3 were all boys. So I rehomed two of the boys and kept my favorite boy Eevee. He was a big, beautiful Lavender Orpington and he was a very good rooster. Sadly, my whole flock went through a terrible round of fowl pox and he ended up getting a really bad version of wet pox and died on Christmas Day 😢 Was really sad. I added two silkies about two weeks after getting my original chicks and somehow they ended up both being girls, so I ended up with three lovely hens and chicken math to replace the boys. I now have 24 and am incubating more 😆🤪
 
Good morning gang! Happy Aloha Sunday!

I did a pretty good job of not hovering over the eggs this time and got to wake to this. Not as good a show as I had hoped but today is 21. A glitch I noticed this morning is my bator was reading that this is day 3 of hatch... A while back my lovely DH -when I was up kokee and SPECIALLY ASKED him not to touch bator 2Xs- flipped the thing upside down to empty the shell fragments when it had water in it. Like the biggest no-no ever. Well it dried out and a few days later when I could form sentences all seemed fine but my last hatch was bad because I had changed my settings and forgot to change them back for 2-3 days. Lost all but Manono and well, we see how that is going. So, this has me worried. Well, a few more hours of labor to go...
Neat surprise. May have a guy coming to pick up Koa who's bump was down even more yesterday. I gave the interested person the rundown on Koa and guy said he had a separate pen to keep Koa till he cleared. I think Koa is ready to get out of that pen and start chasing girls. So I am happy about this. I'll give him another check see this morning.
Well, time to get my groove on ( clean and set up the bator lol) I'll check in again in a bit. I joke you all are enjoying you day.

I'm sorry you didnt get more, but if my count is right you got 11 out of 18 so far, right? They're so cute:love

I can't wait to see them when they're in the brooder and all fluffed up.
