    Rose's tiny flock

    Wasn't he? He was a 7 year old roo gifted to my grandpa after they found out his granddaughter (me) had hens.. XD He was mean and flew into me but we worked out our differences. Lived till he passed of old age. I'm not sure how old he was. But he was up there.

    Rose's tiny flock

    So we have a hen broody again after the last disappointment. She's only got 3 eggs, but I'm ok with that. I ended up taking in 10 random hens from someone moving and unable to keep them (all duel purpose birds) and a pair of pekins.. this lead us to getting 4 more ducks. XD I wasn't planning...

    Rose's tiny flock

    Well some more sad news. Another chick hatched this afternoon. It didn't look like it was fully ready so I don't know if momma crushed that egg too? But it wasn't alive when I checked and had fly strike. This chick she has may be a solo baby. The other eggs look viable and she is still sitting...

    Rose's tiny flock

    In other news.. my rooster has earned his keep. I've been letting them free roam the yard after 5 or 6 each day. Last night a young possum must have gotten in through the roof.. (I need to out hardware cloth up there and cut the branches back now to the trees). But the possum didn't get to do...

    Rose's tiny flock

    Well I didn't keep any of the 8 chicks. I sold them locally. I don't really have space for more chickens .. not reasonably anyway. Though I have a second hen trying to hatch. She may only end up with one chick. I didn't know she had crushed 2 or 3 eggs and they were all over the rest of the...

    Rose's tiny flock

    We are a year into the flock, one broody hen has hatched out 9 eggs (one chick passed at a day old, and it looks like we may lose a second a week in.. these things happen). But I have a second hen sitting on 24 eggs.. because I got sick and I wasn't able to collect eggs for a few days. I have...

    Rose's tiny flock

    I can't get the main door open and barely got the other door open to be able to let the chickens out. X.x Kicking myself I paid this much and only a month in having issues. Kind of wish I had held out for my lawn guy to build it. But he's always so busy I didn't want to bug him. Would have for...

    They may be able to fix it. Tomorrow morning I'll be sending them photos. Cause now it's the door and the coop hatch for the chickens 😆 So long as I can open it tomorrow morning I'll be happy. They seemed like a solid company so I'll keep folks posted. ❤️

    Sorry for the delay in photos! I've been super bummed out. For what I paid for getting this coop built and the darn door is held together with staples that are so loose I can't hardly use the door. I'd rightly annoyed. I don't see anywhere that the company I had build the coop needs to fix it...

    The head hen is Brenda (i'll have to get photos of each cause they are similar in looks haha). Then we have Susan, Becky, Peggy, Barbara and Martha. The roo still doesn't have a name XD

    Over a week and still all seven. Starting to get the feathers on them now. Itty bitty feathers.

    Dusty is being introduced to the chicks. Slowly. He's unsure as to what they are. No pray drive but I'll be reaffirming his hold, laydown and several other commands just to be sure. My other border collie doesn't care at all about them.. haha. She's too lazy.

    Rose's tiny flock

    Nope! I was trying to think of the name for the roo at least cause he'll stand out for sure. Though one is a fair bit lighter than the rest so that one may also stand out. I was going to give it a few days to see if they all made it first. I've done this song and dance before.. >.< Though these...

    We got one extra from what we ordered and I assume the blue dot one is the roo I had ordered.. XD no deaths on arrival and all seem healthy. They had a heat pack in there too so I'm sure that really helped!

    Rose's tiny flock

    Well I have everything to get started. Now to wait till tomorrow when they should be at the post office. Brooder plate, heat lamp (a ceramic lamp too just in case.. cause I got a super large bin. But I'll be blocking half of it off till I ensure they understand eating and drinking). Temp gauge...

    You have no idea, I've been waiting years. I took care of my house mates flock back in GA and it renewed my want.. and I had to wait. But I doubt we'll be moving any time soon so we decided we may as well.

    I'll be getting plenty of pictures. I've waited several years to be able to do this finally haha. (watch my roo be the ugliest of them all.. )
