MJ's little flock

[fuentemoon]

Chicks worked for us for what that's worth. Giving the chicks at night seems to increase the chance of success.

Did you have a brooder box and heat ready to go in case the hens rejected the chicks?

do you always fear the worst MJ? do you have no faith in Mary?

No, I plan for all eventualities! I'm highly rational.

There's no need to ask people about things going well.

So you're a tree of possibilities type, with a very full canopy?

 

[Perris]

I'm guessing there's no news from the broody coop yet... so the wait goes on...

Not quite. Only a half canopy because she plans for the worst. But there are also best outcomes!

Isn't it like 3am for MJ and Mary?

Well, I would have to be naive to assume everything is going to turn out well after having one chick squashed by a hen in a clutch of 3 (the other 2 were infertile) and another 3 a couple of years later turning out entirely infertile.

I hope I'm not naive. I hope I have taken lived experience into account and that I'm asking questions relevant to my context.

The best outcome will happen of its own accord at this point (if it's going to happen at all). I don't need to ask questions about it.
