The waters were raised. They just heeped the chips 6 inches high all around the waterers. Glad I doubled checked. ALL the chicks were piled up in the corner where one of the broodies would sit. Had to shove handfuls of chicks under the heater plate.

Sadly we had to remove the broodies from the coop with the chicks. One is a BC Maran and the other is a Wyandotte/Amerucana Olive egger. The broodies were making a horrible mess with the wood chips and they would cover the feed and water with chips within 30-60 min of us cleaning it up. So we...

51 Cornish eggs in the incubator! I’ll probably only hatch two or three times this year rather than stagger hatching (setting eggs every week or so).

I’ll send you a Facebook message.

My LF White Cornish eggs came today! @Molpet I’ll have to try sending you eggs with this setup if you’re still interested in the Cornish.

There are different ways hens can be bad broodies. This one in particular just wanted to sit, and sit. She viciously pecked a baby that tried to come out from under her to eat and drink. I also had a Cornish hen that did that. They can also be bad by not attending to the babies or letting them...

Well, there are only 24 babies this morning. One of the broodies let the three of the 8 babies we gave her die. She was also being mean to any babies that came out from under her. We only found 2 bodies no idea what happened to the third missing baby. But the other 24 are doing well. We gave the...

I got 27 happy, energetic balls of fluff in the mail today. They sent them to the wrong post office so DH had to drive 1hr and 10min one way instead of 35 min to the one we usually pick up from. They offered to send them to the closer post office but that would risk the babies more so we opted...

They do not have any rights to the kids. We might talk about re-establishing contact as they get older, but for now... it won't be good for the boys.

Hi Folks, Just checking in, Someone requested that I post an update in another thread, so I did there. Miss you guys! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/checking-in-on-peeps-post-here-to-say-hello.1620895/post-27723266 @Kiki

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Things are still crazy here but on the whole, improving. Saw this picture last night and thought you guys would think it’s funny. @Kiki

Hi folks! Things have been crazy here. It feels like everything is happening all at once. I’ve been diagnosed with an extremely overactive thyroid. Which is odd because I’m a good 50lbs overweight. I’m going through a bunch of tests now to figure out what is going on. We also finally got my...

Charlie, our new boar, got here safely. He was talking up a storm to the piglets and Jericho, our sow, wanted to get to him so bad. She has to wait until mid Dec. I don’t want February babies again.

@Grammy60 praying for you and @rjohns39. How are you both doing?

Hi folks! I’m still alive! Things have been crazy here. Still fostering the two foster boys, looking like it’s moving towards termination. We are most likely going to adopt if it comes to that. The 3 Things are all growing like weeds. The baby is now 2.5 😭. Lost my boar last week, he was...

The case hasn’t moved to termination of rights yet, but we’ll see. We are considering adopting if it comes to that. They are getting on as well as can be expected. Thing 2 is having the hardest time adjusting I think. We’ve seen a lot of improvement in behavior from our 6yo foster. He has the...

Yeah, we took them in back in September. They were coming to our church with their mom which J’s how we knew about them. We got approval in December. We still need to do some classes, but we have the rest of the year to do that. The boys are 18 months and 3 months older than Thing 1. But they...

@Kiki look at the previous post.

Hi folks! I’m still alive! Things are going well, but crazy busy. Things with the foster kids are going well, but as to be expected, there are problems at times. 5 weeks ago, I did something stupid and the Milk Drinker got hurt. I had him and Thing 2 in a Sam’s club cart. I stepped up on...
