First of 3 end of July babies today. My first colored egg ;)

Here are 2 of the 3 we kept, the 3rd is a bugger to catch- Luna and Copper

How is everyone's July babies doing? I have 3 pullets left, the 2 rooster have been rehomed to an FFA student, and they are getting so big. 2 have EE muffs/beards and 1 does not, so likely just a barnyard mix. Two roost with the big girls at night and 1 just won't stop getting in the nesting box...

question--mama hen took them to roost for a few days before leaving them and they stayed up there all night with her. First night last night-2 were on the roosts and 3 were in the upper nesting boxes-I moved them up to by their hatch mates but wanted to know how long they will try and sleep in...

mama hen weaned the babies yesterday--man it was a quick process :) couple days of giving them space and not calling them to eat to pecking at them and wanting NOTHING to do with them. chicks will be 8 weeks on Sat and are like 'what is happening?!', they came out to eat and chill when I was...

how is everyone's July chicks doing? anyone got final numbers of boys vs girls yet?

They turned 5 weeks today. These were taken about 2 days ago. Hard to tell by hackles, they are kinda barred but are rounded for now.

We can, but I am pretty sure we have at least 2 and I would only have room/enough ladies for 1 ;(

5 week old today and I think I saw/heard one I assumed was a boy trying to crow

She is a standard Leghorn but small, only about 3 lbs ;) Barnyard mixes! Not from my flock and like 3rd or more generation mixes so a real mystery. Hopefully happy and healthy mutts.

My mama hen took the babies off the floor last night for the first time at 4 weeks ;)

Me either but it is so hard to wait until 6 or more weeks! I am trying not to get my hopes up, I think I have 1-2 cockerels for sure (out of 5)

How are all the babies doing? Mine are 4 weeks tomorrow! Anyone have any gender reveals?

Thank you! This is awesome to hear!

3 weeks old today! One week closer to sexing!!!!

Here too. I want to give her one more chance when they are bigger, I mean they aren't even 3 weeks yet but time will tell.

Mama and babies fully integrated with flock-slept in the coop loose for the 1st time last night at 2 weeks and 1 day :). Woke up to everyone happy and ready to eat! I do have one aggressive towards chicks hen that is now in solitary confinement until they are bigger or will be rehomed.

Thank you-barnyard mix from a friend, I am pretty happy with them :) I mean they are cute fluffy chicks :)

Can't believe they are 10 days old already! Mama is doing great with them. Started doing 1:1 meet n greets with the older hens for about 15 min at a time. Couple got mama on them but most did fine, even eating and drinking with babies! This weekend we will open up their space and let them and...

Babies and mama- 5 days old and outside for the first time!
