I had a chick hatch yesterday too (Day 20). And then I had 3 chicks hatch this morning. And several chicks are still working their way out of their eggs!
It really is amazing, congratulations on the new additions!
Thank you. They are now out of the box with mom on a nest in the corner of the coop. After watching their mom eat and drink they figured out how to do it. After trying to
eat their mother's comb and wattles they realized the little gold stuff is food and the red container has fresh water! They run around and try to catch bugs. I put up a board in front of the
coop door to where the grown chickens can get out but not the little ones. As soon as they can hop over the board, I know they're ready for the outdoors. With these warm nights and my good hens,
I don't need to worry about warmth. Which is great. I've still got 3 more eggs to go.
It's been a long, long, longggggg time. (Well, it seems like it...)
I'm back though! And I'm still loving my mini farm!
*QUICK UPDATE* Kisses and Betty are both bred! The hens are great and I have 2 new Americauna Chicks! I might be showing soon, and I might be getting a new doe!
That's the quick update, my long, detailed, happy story will come later.... I missed BYH and all the lovely people I met and have become friends with...
I hope everyone is still happy and well... I am! Glad to be back...
Now off to view the early documented days of my farm,
