More chickiesssss!
Went to TSC again and couldn't help getting more. Now I have 17 chicks and 3 ducks (how could I not bring home some Pekins?)
6 Golden Comet - pullets
6 Tetra Tint - pullets
5 Dixie - straight run
3 Pekins - straight run
The chickies are hereeeee!!!
Brought home 6 Dixie Rainbow chicks (5 now ... cat attacked one). 2 of them I just love. Khaan and Klara, a cockerel and a hen (at least, I THINK so. Too young to tell for sure).
My favorites, Khaan (dark coloring) and Klara (yellow/white).
My sisters took the...
Well, well.
Been quite a while, eh?
The bad news:
Lost all the chickens this winter. All of them. Some kind of rat, raccoon, opossum, I don't know, but it's getting into the coop. I'm gonna leave out the details ...
Good news:
Gonna head over to TSC and bring home a new batch of chickies...
...If only the hens were still laying. I'd fill the 'bator up with eggs and have another go at a hatch. I put a light source in the coop, but the girls always manage to unplug it from the outlet.
My, has it been a while! My laptop crashed and I wasn't able to get online for a while. XD
Well, it sure hasn't been a perfect month. Lost a few hens, almost lost the roo (again!), and one of the RIR girls is looking weak.
Well, I sure do have good luck with hawks/falcons. Last week, I opened...
Aw poor duck. Good thing you found her before it was too late! All three of those are possible, so I can't be sure. I think you should hang up those flyers.
^^
It all happened so fast, I didn't even think about going to help Boo. I probably would just throw something at it.. I'm a scaredy-cat.. Like the roo.
Crazy day today.
I was in the coop, having a perfectly normal conversation with the girls (yes, I talk to my chickens... Don't we all?). And I looked over my shoulder, and the Maran roo was missing! O.O A few seconds later, I hear a chicken screaming in the yard, so I ran outside and there was...
The dog, she's a year old and she's HUGE.
It sure is.
Nope, not the cat (surprisingly.. Max knocks EVERYTHING over), my little 9 y/o sister walked into my room when she KNOWS she's not to disturb me when I'm sleeping, but she came in, brought Annabelle with her (my giant Newfoundland dog), and...
GAH! :he
So angry and upset at this point.
So it was about 6AM, I was in my bedroom, sleeping like a baby, and I nearly had a heart attack when I woke up to a loud "CRASH!" in my bedroom, 3 feet away. I literally jumped out of bed as soon as I heard it, I was so freaked out since it was so...
