Willow meets her older babys (Chicks)

Oct 23, 2015 Willow hatched her egg 3 days early. She turned out to be a good mom to this black and white or grey baby, She has seen the other 4 from afar. I was afraid to let her near. Because she ran across the room and pecked the oldest (Fedora) in the head. She did not want it around.

But today she was Ok, with them outside the baby gates. I put one in she was ok. But they were not to get in her nest. So in a bit of time. I hope she will like them all.

 This is Yokie he is the one I hatched from an egg May 31, 2015. He is the dad to this last one. And maybe the white ones. He is all wet from being out in the rain today. Soon I will have to decide on what little ones to let go of. I know I can not keep the ones related to him. I know some people do. But I do not wish to do so myself.

 The tall dark one to the left is the oldest (Fedora) The other dark one (Parker)

 One of these will be called Dusty, the other?

Have a wonderful day and remember to laugh and play.

The joy of raising chickens.

 May the first peep hole began

 12 hours later May 30th Lizzy was free from the shell. Later that night number 2 peeped.

May 31 Yokie was helped out of the shell by Lizzy.

June first they were both out of the incubator. At first Lizzy would peck on the smaller yokie. But she held her ground. I had them separated

.I cut up a cloths basket and made a wall. But Yokie kept getting thew. She put up with Lizzy. Soon they started getting along.

They started enjoying each others company.

 Now look at them June 10th. Little Yokie is not going to be told what to do much longer.:)

 She found a way to look Lizzy eye to eye and say. Hay, I am just as big as you. :)
