Good morning!
I am a chicken newbie of one month. My mother raised ducks but I never liked them because they were mean to me as a toddler.
We have three single-comb, brown leg, three Columbian Wyandotte, and two Barred Rock. The Wyandottes are the calmest.
The three brown leg remind me of the cartoon, Roadrunner. They’re the only ones who still run from me after a month. Everyone else comes to me and pecks a little.
I ordered my chicks from Murray McMurray Hatcheries upon my sister’s recommendation. It went okay. One (obviously the “extra chick” they send) arrived sick and I nursed her back to what I thought was health. She was doing everything everyone else was. I checked many times a day but she lasted a little over a week. She was malformed something awful but you know that the one you put the most effort into is the one you hate losing.
I spent the previous four months learning all I could and I have a few mentors, too.
Things seem to be going well.
I’ve had a hard time with the waterers getting dumped so I resorted to an old, heavy, puppy food bowl.
Is there anyone here who purchased an Egloo? My hubs did as a surprise last winter and I’m still unsure how I’m going to get inside to check the girls!
Three are going to a friend since the Egloo will only hold six adult chickens.
I think that’s it for now.
Have a wonderful day!!
