Very good, it sounds like you have it all taken care of. Is the chick showing any improvement?

I treated a star gazer a couple years ago. It's just a vitamin deficiency. I believe I mixed minced garlic, raw honey, and apple cider vinegar. That healed up the chick in 2 days I believe? There's homeopathic/natural ways to treat it, that actually work really well.

Maybe a Marans? Just not the French type. He's not a frizzle, either. Just a little beat up. 😅

Agreed.

No, just leave the chick with the mother. :) She'll take real good care of that baby. When you have a broody hen, I've observed that the other birds leave the hens alone for the most part. For me, the only time the hens have actually harmed the chicks, was when they knew the chicks wouldn't...

I'm leaning pullets, but orpingtons can be a bit tricky, they like to mess with people. Haha. The brown fella in the back is a cockerel though.

So far, the garden is going mostly good. I have very invasive Perslane that is trying to choke out my other plants. (Carrots, beet's, peas, etc) It's been pretty dry here, but I planted pretty dense on my brassicas, so they are actually doing quite well. The cabbage is starting to make baby...

I love you quail's coloring! It's so unique. I used to have a flock of quail, but they all got wiped out in one night by a raccoon. Hoping to get back into them someday. I'll be sure to follow along in this thread. :)

That's great! It's always a bonus when they hatch their own babies. Looking forward to more updates!

Watermelons! I love it! :lau

I really hate to say this, but yesterday got so hot it killed my brand new, white OEGB pair. The high got to 100 F, last week it was in the 60's - 70's. It's so terrible, I feel so bad; like I could've done better for them.... I did get three eggs off of them, so I'm praying I can get at least...

How are the eggs looking @NagemTX ?

I know! That's why I like them. I've always been a huge fan of wild type feather patterns. Yes, I also really like the breed. I like the dark brown lacing she has. Hahaha! I totally feel you. When waiting for eggs to hatch, the wait in almost unbearable. How long till your hatch? How many did...

Pullet.

Finally got the wood split. Man, it's worse working in this heat.
