:gig No problem, I was attempting humor... I found five, broke two. One may have been from yesterday.

You may recall Little Chick, one of two chicks in a staggered hatch back in April? He was the one pecked and left for dead on day two, again on day three. I gave him B Complex and E from a syringe a couple times. He would get lost, Martha had to go back and find him. He cried when he got left...

Lydia, Naomi, Abigail

Hannah's comb didn't used to look like that. From December, all three Sussex: L-R Rahab, Hannah, Martha To identify the Dominiques I cheat, I look at the leg rings. Except Lydia, she makes the most endearing nasal "Waaaaw" sound as if she's disappointed. :lol:

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? :gig

Three, broke one, found another, so four... but noticed one slightly covered with straw in a hard-to-reach location, five...broke it trying to get it. :rolleyes: So 5...3 made it to the egg tray. The one that was hidden might have been from yesterday. Baby chicks got scrambled eggs for dinner.

Today: Neither Rahab nor Tamar are showing the fierce devotion to motherhood that Martha did. :confused: Today I let both broodies out with their chicks while I observed. One of the Sussex, Hannah, chased Tamar away from her chicks, and at one point climbed on top of Tamar and scratched...

That was how it came in the box, but thanks. I store hoses in wide loops, 28"-32" perhaps?

My broody sat for an additional 3 days and hatched out the extra two in my staggered hatch.

Seriously, do you have any outdoor cats? I have two that adopted me as giver of good food. I saw one of them catch and kill a squirrel. They keep the rodent population down.

Squirrel stew...

I wasn't prepared for two broodies, I only had one chick feeder, and my galvanized metal waterer base rusted. Today I went to a hardware/farm store and got a chick waterer base and a chick feeder base. I bought a second waterer base at TSC, but all they had were bases with a flower design...

Singer, songwriter, story-teller.. And just having fun!

This one always makes me feel good:

Listening to the newly hatched chicks...

I love aquariums. The one in Chicago was really good, but the local smaller aquariums are fun as well. There's one in Pine Knoll Shores in NC that I have been to several times.
