We have had quite the chick explosion on the farm. Momma hen hatched out a total of four chicks. They are very cute and follow her where ever she may go.
Hello world!
That picture was taken before Momma jumped out of the nest box.
I have also had ten hatch out of the incubator! Far better than the first attempt at hatching eggs. See that story here.
Two that hatched overnight
Yesterday Samuel picked up his 4-H chicks for the “Chick Chain”. He got 25 Black Sexlink pullets. A pullet is a young hen. He has to raise them and then bring the six best back to the Robertson County Fair for them to auction off to pay for next years chicks. He gets to keep what ever is left. Pretty good deal. We also stopped at Tractor Supply and picked up 10 more chicks for me. When we got home everyone went in the pool…aka…brooder.
run away!
Little chicks are just so darn cute!

They are, indeed, cute!
how cute are they>?
I think “chick explosion”is an understatement
They are very cute!
Reminds me of my days at home on the farm when my Dad had thousands of chickens and my job was to gather the eggs. He ran an egg and produce route down to Baltimore and the DC area every week; he had regular customers. We had a HUGE chicken house and a little red building that was our “brooder”. It was no fun trying to get the eggs out from under those mama hens every morning! Peck, Peck, Peck! Good luck with all your babies! What fun!
let us know when to come for omelets! They are adorable Elaine and way to go Samuel!
Too cute!
Cute little things!
