Yaaaaaaaaaay, on the new babies!!! i envy you on the new Silkie babies!! I only have the one White hen and she is so lonely! She loves being with the new baby Japanese and mothers them so well but she is getting very broody now and needs a MAN!!! She didnt get along to well with the Sultan Roo, and the Japanese White really isnt attracted to her, and Old CockleLooLoo is way out of the Picture! I need a Silkie roo and soon!
Now talk about a riot!!! Mr. Turkeybeard came over this morning and decided he wanted the last two Buff O's , and an Astrolorpe . Wellllllllllll, I normally catch my Chicks at night while they roost( soooooo easy)! But since he came this morning and the chicks are now free ranging ,Oh my goodness , I wish I could have had someone filming or taking picures!!Just tooooooooo funnnnnnny!!!LOL! You woulnt think 5 week old Chicks would be that fast or defensive!!!! Im an old Biddy , and I weigh a ton, so me chasing chicks was a riot! And yes I use a Butterfly net and still was having trouble! Turkey beard is a young Rooster and he moved a lot quicker than me, but those chicks had us turning somersaults!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!! But we got 'er done!!! Turkeybeard now has 2 more buffs and an Astra!!! Yay!!!!!!!!
