    Speaking of roosters... ...I see a comb developing...maybe more. I find homes for my excess boys, have only removed one from this world. I hope I can avoid a repeat.

    Welcome! I've been reading posts on this thread for a couple years, but I also went back to the first and read them all. Took a while! :th There's a wealth of experience and knowledge here, and very little fussing. It's my favorite thread on BYC.

    I saw something today that warmed my heart. I open the brooder door about 5:45am, when I leave for work. Naomi and the chicks roam the coop until roosting time, when I shut them in their brooder for the night. I have not seen much pecking of the chicks by the adults, just a little "wait your...

    My Sussex pullets (13 months technically) Esther and Joanna still chatter and keep up a stream of commentary when I am in the yard. Chick tax:

    I've been pecked by my broodies, but never hard enough to hurt. I appreciate it.

    I lost Tamar this morning, found her deceased in the nesting box. She had a wing injury that I'd been treating, no sign of infection. :confused: Here she is last year, sitting on eggs, turn sound up: She eventually hatched/brooded two chicks.

    My first rooster, Joel, declined quietly for a couple weeks, then had a seizure and died at 13 months. I found Martha dead under the roost, barely 2 years old. No sign of illness, or issues. It stinks, but it happens. :(

    Emojis are inadequate. Words are inadequate. I'm so, so very sorry.

    You want chicks, admit it. Naomi's eggs died. I bought her replacement chicks. She has settled into motherhood as if she's done it before.

    Normal, yep. All eggs have been removed. Two of the chicks went Walkabout this morning, discovered the food and water within easy access. Naomi is acting more relaxed.
