Here she is

Yes, one. I’m not sure what it is. It’s either another lav orp or a blue australorp.

I got them Monday! So far so good. Sadly they had to sub my red orp out bc they didn’t have any… I’m not going to lie, my experience hasn’t been 100% satisfying. I will say the chicks are all happy and healthy. And in the end that’s really what matters and they shipped very promptly. I’m sure...

Pickles’ crop seems quite small every time I check it. She pecks a lot but offers it to her chicks. We only have chick feed in the brooder with her and the chicks. I was wondering if it’s ok to give her some scrambled eggs or something? Though I think she’d give them to the chicks. It’s been so...

Is it normal for a mama hen not to get up? She is doing a great job mothering but I notice she won’t leave her position.

Look at these cuties. How long do baby chicks stay under their mama? My hen has not gotten up to walk around since I gave them to her. They have come out here and there but are mostly snuggles in and under sleeping. The other crew (in a separate area) with the heat lamp seem more active. Should...

Can they eat treats like meal worms yet if they are outside w her for a little bit?

And lastly, is it likely that she would accept new chicks Mon as well as long as they’re brand new?

So I decided to use my broody hen for the chicks I’m keeping. She seems to have taken to them but my question is can they go outside with her? I will keep her inside w them until they’re older before introducing to the other two hens I have. But in general at what age is it safe for them to go...

He ordered 10 Welsummer and 10 barred rock pullets.

Oh gotcha. Yea, def not charging me twice. I’ve homed four and hope to have the rest in nice homes soon 💜 hopefully in time for our babies Mon. We did decide to keep 2 of these 🤫

No. Not free. Just sending me my original order Sunday.
