Baby Chicks Days 10-15
New Ducks and Chicks
(March 6-11th, 2017)
 |
| Chickens ALWAYS have to stand on something! It never fails! |
 |
| Sophie enjoys watching the chickens whenever she gets the chance! |
 |
| I have to change out the towels twice a day. They make such a mess and seem to enjoy flipping over their food cups as soon as I put them in! |
 |
The three pale yellow chicks at the feeder are AmberLinks. They will turn to be a dark red color when they grow up. |
 |
| When I open up the door the chicks feel comfortable to pounce out now! I try to hold and pet as many as I can each day. It is interesting to turn the chicks over and watch how quickly they start to fall asleep! |
 |
| Every chick has such different wing growth. |
 |
| Tetra Brown's are really pretty with their brown - caramel colored feathers coming in. |
NEW Babies This Week!
2 Ducks
2 Isa Brown's
2 Bantams
 |
| This is the very chirpy, complainy of the two new Bantams. She had a massive poop stuck to her bottom that I had to soak and gently work off when we got her home. Once the hardened part came off then poop inside was free to flow out. Poor thing, she really had an impacted-shut bowel. |
 |
| This picture was taken on her second day with us. Her bottom was wet the first day we had her. |
 |
| This is the SWEETEST little Bantam. She is so easy-going and doesn't fuss. Her temperament is wonderful. |
 |
The 2 Bantams and 2 Isa Brown's are too small to put with the bigger girls. The big girls were literally stepping on the little ones, so I but a box inside the brooder box to keep them safe and not stressed by the bigger girls.

| AmberLinks roosting on the new box of babies. |
|
 |
| The TWO DUCKS fit right in with the bigger chicks. They haven't had any trouble adapting with the new crowd. |
 |
| This is Day one---wet bottom! |
 |
| The ducks and the two Isa Brown's. The Isa Browns are very, very sweet. |
 |
| You can see the size difference between the Isa Browns and the Bantams. |
 |
| There is a TetraBrown beside the new sweet Bantam---such a huge size difference! |
 |
| Dd is quite happy with her new duckies! |
We are done buying new poultry for the year! More than I can handle as it is!! I'm having to clean water bowls 4-6 times a day! Lots of work cleaning out the box, vacuuming bottom, putting in new towels, washing towels........ Now to enjoy watching them grow!
