Brood X my butt....what generation is this one!!! It's an invasion!!!!

:D I kinda used stronger language to Chef when I told him the chick was staying indoors. This is Cashew, one of the three "nuts" that survived being brought home from TSC. Unfortunately I wound up with 2 roos (Cashew and Pecan) and just one hen (Peanut). They are OEG bantams...so he shouldn't...

Ooooooh yeah.....and he's NOT happy.

I'm catching up on everyone in this thread....I have help in case I miss any details....

I see!!! Hi everyone!!! :frow

:sick My area looks like the end of days/locusts with the infestation of cicadas. I've grown up with them and always thought they were neat...but this is beyond anything I can describe. I don't recall this 17 years ago!!! The noise is deafening to the point it drowns out the rooster...

Hi and Welcome to BYC!!! :welcome I was excited to see your introduction post! My brother has two autistic children (my niece and nephew). Just from personal experience to help you out....my niece has Rett's. She does not do very well with the chickens. Even though I have bantams, they seem...

Thank you @Lisanfloyd ! No, I don't think she died from cold stress (I had heaters going) or even too wet conditions (I had that happen one winter...birds came down with respiratory illness). I have a feeling she may have been egg bound and I didn't catch it. I did not have a necropsy done...
