    Hi, y'all! Not a whole lot going on in chicken land over here, but I thought I'd check in since it's been a bit! Buck is healing up pretty well and is starting to regain strength in his legs finally! :yesss: I was very worried I would have to put him down if he didn't recover from that...

    Had my first case of fly strike in a very long time. Thankfully, I still had the supplies on hand from last time. It was Bucky, who I have noticed has been a bit unsteady lately. When I found him, he was lying on the ground covered in flies. Thankfully, I caught it quite early and he has a...

    Four more beautiful Blue babies hatched out overnight :love Oh, and in other somewhat exciting news, Johnnycakes figured out the perch in the big brooder! :D It's so infrequent that any of my kiddos figure that out in there, though maybe that's because usually my kiddos are all Cochin...

    She's one of the Easter-eggers, so hopefully a green or blue egg layer, but we'll have to wait and see :D And yes, she's a stinker! She's usually the ringleader to their shenanigans in the big brooder. 🤭 Yesterday, I went to sit with the Cochin babies to get them socialized as well, and Flint...

    A quick check in with the peeps, first the corn crib crew :love Tash and Flint in the feeder. No signs of shame on either face :rolleyes: Chicha handily demonstrates how the feeder is supposed to be used at the bottom of the picture 🤭 Polenta in my hand, which is worth 2 Polentas in the...

    All seven babies are out of the incubator! Here are the other four at their leg banding, making it clear that they do not appreciate the man-handling 🤣 :love And just a few pictures of the corn crib crew at their evening socializing today 🥰 Miss Johnnycakes Flint looking bewildered...

    Haha, thanks! It definitely cuts down on the spillage, though they somehow still get pine shavings in there sometimes. Those are plastic tubs from cat litter (this kind, if the link works) that I washed out and cut for that. The side has a slit and the top is cut open so I can get the feeder in...

    Been a busy week, sorry for the lack of updates! I had to do some schedule juggling because I found out when my mandatory orientation is for the DH program, and that there's a second mandatory thing I have to go to, so I had some things to work out and more errands to run :th Here I thought I'd...

    Introducing... The babies of the Corn Crib Crew! 😁 A while back, I was watching a cooking competition (Tournament of Champions 6 if anyone wondered), and one of the contestants was making polenta, an Italian dish made out of cornmeal that's sort of similar to grits. I thought, huh, Polenta...

    Thank you!! They are the cutest! :love I forgot how adorable those baby beards are on chicks 🤭 Oh wow, that sounds like an amazing trip! :love Glad the birds handled your absence well! There's something in the air here in northeast Indiana--I have a bunch of birds going broody as well...

    One long, long, loooong road trip later... and I am home with the cutest special delivery in the world :love Since it's been an age since I ordered them and posted this, they are 3 Easter-eggers, 2 Green Queens, a Delaware, and a Sumatra. Among the three Easter-eggers, it looks like I have...

    Just a few pictures of the flock today 🙂 Birchy. I picked him up yesterday to check on his beak (he had damaged it fighting with Buck last month but it's healing and growing out well) and he does NOT like being held, so he's keeping his distance today 🤭 Izzy the Blue Orpington posing...

    The netting is done! Well, mostly... I'd like to get it a bit tighter to the cedar tree in the middle of their yard, but I was frustrated and tired and called it good enough for now. :th It's hard to see the netting in this picture, of course, but this added somewhere in the vicinity of 450-500...

    I've been working on covering more of the chicken yard with netting this week, as mentioned above. The girls are enjoying the new green space already :love I'm sure it'll be as brown as the rest of the yard soon enough 😅 Findlay's a bit confused about what this frame is for, though. No...

    Must be something in the water! The older they get, the more sure I am of 2 pullets and 5 cockerels in my group. :barnie Hopefully the rest of my hatches even out those numbers at least. I had a busy week along with turning in my acceptance of my position in the DH program. Had to update...

    All 4 of Kya's babies have hatched. Looks like 3 Blues and 1 Black in her batch. No Splashes this year unless I decide to set another batch from the blue band coop later on, which will not take high priority as I still need to get some green band eggs set. I just set another batch from the red...

    I got some exciting news today, and a few days before I was even expecting to hear anything. I still need to officially accept the offer (and can't do so until the office opens on Monday), but I've been offered a seat in the dental hygiene program for the class of 2028!! :wee :yesss: :ya...

    She is, and she has all 5 babies out as of last night at roost time! 🥰 I set her and the babes up with food and water this morning. I think the little ones are too squishy still to come out of the nest, but Opal came out to eat, drink, and potty before quickly returning to her babies to keep...

    I went out to check on Opal's hatch and open up the pen for Kya to have her daily break from brooding this evening. Opal has 3 babies out now, by the way! :love Anyway, as I was standing there waiting on Kya to return from her break, I noticed something odd in the closed-off wing of the coop...

    It's terrible lighting because of where she's set up, but Opal's first baby is out :love
