I think I might have to put the fatsos back in the coop. They have not moved since I put them in the run.

It's up to you, but I wouldn't worry about it. They're doing what they are designed to do - eat a lot, poop a lot, grow fast, and exercise very little. With the accelerated growth rate, exercise can actually give them a heart attack. So they usually do stay still. It's ONLY a problem if the run isn't protected from predators.

That's a pretty decent hatch. I'm sorry about the odd chick; I don't know what would cause that either.

So I ended up having all 12 hatch! But unfortunately, the last little slow poke had the same issue as the other one, only worse. It had no eye on one side and on the other side, it looked like the eye had developed and wasn't covered with skull on top - and had no opening. Also had the extreme cross beak and it's skull was funky shaped. Had to cull it also :-( Boo! I do have 10 little fuzz balls running around in the brooder though!

A lady in Kennesaw is wanting to either sell or trade this big chicken coop for a smaller one. Anyone interested?

The one on the right. The one on the left is her rabbit hutch.

How much does she want to sell it for?

I have one of my red rangers who wants to sit and peck at grass, but the others are all running around scratching and being chickens. Of course, they are only not quite 5 weeks old. I can't imagine they'll be ready to butcher in another 5 weeks though...

And now that I have won you all over with an overload of cuteness....


Does anyone have two trays from an egg-turner that they don't need? The kind of egg turner you put in the LG, that holds 7 eggs per tray?

I've got three incubators available for chicken eggs now and I'm about to go hatch-crazy to get as many hens as I can. I'm going to use the third - which has no turner at all - as the hatcher, and the other two as actual incubators. But one of the incubators with a turner only has 4 of the 6 trays. My nieces and nephews broke one, and the other one just mysteriously disappeared (probably broken also, and they just never told me about it). So if anyone has any of those trays just sitting around from old egg turners that stopped working, or that they got rid of, or that broke in other places that couldn't be fixed, or whatever, please let me know!

Love all the great photos. They made me smile! I just love them all!
 
GORGEOUS babies as always, CD!! Those pics are really awesome.

WOW. What. A. Day. So busy at work, then out to dinner, TSC chick-peeking, WallyWorld, and filled up my tank which was empty after all that.

Hope y'all had a good day also. :)
