well, had my Silkies for a week now. Slowly tempering my oldest chicks outside. Lost another adult bird to a hawk.

So.. one of the birds that I thought got taken by a hawk came back! It was my little bird named Miracle! Saw her coming running towards our house 1/2 acre away! She was gone for 2 days! So.. to celebrate my joy....... 15 more chicks! 🤣

Yes

lost 2 more adult birds and another hen is in rough shape. Looks like hawk.

Two chicks just didn't thrive even though I tried a few things to perk them up. Also I think a hawk got to my adult bird. To compensate for my grief I'll incubate all my serama eggs.

2 of my new chicks died and one of my adult birds was food dead with its head off today 😥

Looks like 3 out of the 41 chicks I got yesterday are not doing so well. 2 are Polish and even after feeding them egg yolk and making the drink some water, still not perked up. Then the other is a Houdan which overall seems to be OK but can't walk properly. I examined the chick nothing seems to...

Got my 41 chicks from Murray McMurray this morning. Also there is my 4 Seramas that hatched the other day. All beautiful and healthy

Remember.. chicken math is like Common Core. Only in the minds doing the math does it make sense.

Well, one of the chicks that I just got yesterday died. Little bummed. To compensate for my grief I am about to buy 25 more chicks... Silkies to be precise. I am currently deducting what my mystery chicks are. What I first thought were Siklies are actually (2 of each) Buff and Black Cochins. I...

I heard those in particular are feisty.

Got my mystery Bantam chicks today! Bought 25 and received 28! All healthy :) Looks like I got some Blue and Black Silkies, Old English Game (almost a 1/3 of what I have), and few I could guess as Orpington and maybe Japanese. Will know as they grow!

My 25 mystery Bantams shipped out yesterday! SSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! My first time mail ordering chicks. Also I just figured out something: Chicken math is a lot like Common Core. If you can prove 2 chicks + 2 chickens = 40 chickens.. then 40 chickens you shall have! :p:D🤣

I'm happy... and a little bit insane. Not sure how my hubby let me get so many. Oh well lol.

From Murrary McMurray the 40 are the Bargin Bin Special.. so it can be anything. From the most popular breeds to the most rare. Whatever that can't fulfill a complete order. From Cackle, the 25 are a mixed Bantam but from Silkies to Japanese Bantams to Cochins. I love a good mystery box!

Call me crazy.. but I just ordered and additional 25 chicks! More specifically a Bantam variety. So lets do some chicken math: 21 adult birds 11 chicks in the brooder 25 coming this week 40 coming in two weeks 10 in the incubator (roughly) = 107 chickens Course nearly all are straight run so...

I've always hand turned my eggs and had great success. I also have a full time job. Just turn once in the morning when you get up and once in the evening before bed.

My chick that I mentioned... ended up passing away this afternoon.

Since I am still here and not being a ghost... one of my new chicks is a Amberlink. Never heard of it until yesterday. In the feed store these were the only chicks that were extremely calm and just sleeping. Now that it is with other chicks I noticed something very different. It does chirp a...
