How exciting for outside adventures! I just came back inside from letting my littles have their first short run outside of the grow out pen. Try to take pictures of their pretty colors, please? :)

May batch finally finished. Of 20-30 only 9 have made it this far. 4 had internally pipped and passed. The others werent formed right. And one of the 9 that did make it is in a chick chair learning how to use his feet properly. Also i have one chick that has no stripes. Curious to see what it...

Heard a cheap tonight! Yay internal pips. Tomorrow is dat 21.

I have a gender fluid cockerel. This little guy from my april hatch started with yellow/orange feet and kept that color until just recently when he decided to take on the dark leg coloring of his sisters. (Leg color was a sex link for this batch). He is the only one to have two colored legs for now.

Can eggs be added to an incubation set thats already 10 days in? I feel like I've heard it done before. Just not sure not sure how the higher humidty for hatch affects the ones still setting.

I should be getting a dozen eggs today from this mixed flock. :) pretty excited to add to my flocks gene pool.

Trying to get pics for the photo contests, the little ones aren't having it today. :/ ugh models are so hard to work with

Thank you, so far still good The outside pen doesn't have a heat source, so I've been waiting for a warm, dry day when i knew the elements would be fine for them.

The 4wk olds are spending their first day outside. #nervousmomma This is my first batch of babies. First time using the pen on chicks this small. I tested it out with them for about an hour over the weekend to make sure it's secure and man thing and i are checking them intermittently. Everyone...

Ahh i need to hustle!

Me too!

Well, i had the boys and girls in separate brooders. Apparently they decided they were done with that. Woke up to all but three of the girls in the boys brooder. Three weeks old and already causing trouble.

Flip the metal as someone else said. I'll also gently roll it opposite the way it wants to curl. Bends it back into shape usually.

Ok, i look terrible but the photo in general is too funny not to share.

Can't wait to get the camera out this weekend and see what i can do about contest pics :)

Cute :) i want to do the patriotic shoot too but need to dig out some american stuff.

Having some fun with the april batch while getting ready to set the may batch. I present, chicks in tutus.

Thanks for all the leg band ideas. I picked up some of the bracelet rubber bands, as thats all i could find for now.

I think I'll be putting in about 40 rhode island red x ee eggs in the next week. May i ask, where do most of you get your fowl leg bands from? I want to order some but am not sure where the best place is. My local farm store only has size 9 and 11.
