We're out of feed, and have no money to get any. Luckily I was smart enough to stock up on things so I could make the suet. Gives them something yummy to eat. =) Yummy... and good for them. Just a mixture of lard, peanut butter, bananas, corn starch, cracked corn, bulgur wheat, and bird seed. =)<br />
<br />
Bantams: Cassie (frizzle cochin), Eagle (wheaten ameracauna), Diamond (mille fleur d'uccule), and Romeo and Juliette (seramas)<br />

<br />
We went chick crazy this year. We ended up with over 40 chickens. lol We've sold some, lost some.... Gloria ended up hatching 4 chicks. 2 ee's, an rir, and a buff orp. We later purchased a split lavender silkie pair that were sick. All the birds there were sick. I tried to pick the healthiest, but the female ended up dying. The male, Mico, was able to be medicated in time and is now a healthy and happy part of our silkie flock. Unfortunately we tracked something in from that farm and the buff orp Gloria hatched picked it up and died at just three months of age. =( RIP Honey.....<br />
<br />
We sold all but 4 of our mypetchicken silkies, and both of the mypetchicken speckled sussex. One of the sussex turned out to be a boy, but was supposed to be a girl. =/<br />
<br />
Snowball became an excellent layer throughout the year. After having her for 2 weeks, she started laying. She laid until she had ten eggs, then went broody on them. Two were infertile, 2 didn't make it to hatching... the other six grew up to be healthy happy babies. We sold all but one, which we named Kimme after our good friend in S. Carolina. <br />
<br />
We also sold Abbott, Costello, Elvis, Serena, Jasmine, Aurora, Mario, Gloria, and Mable.<br />
<br />
We have left: Ricky (RIR hatched by Gloria), Mya and Storm (EE's hatched by Gloria), Sunshine (EE I hatched in the bator), Precious Boy (original roo), Frosty, Snowball, Kimme, Mico, Mohican, Queenie, 2 blue silkies we never named, Romeo and Juliette (serama pair), Cassie, Diamond, and Eagle... and some chicks in the brooder inside.<br />
<br />
My mom passed away on October 26. My dad has always wanted the birds gone. I told him I would rehome the birds, but there are some we'd like to keep if he'd let us. Mico, Queenie, and Mohican (silkies). Romeo and Juliette, Cassie for a good bantam broody, Diamond because she was our first millie, and Eagle because she came from champion show lines. Not sure if we can convince him, but we're hoping.<br />
<br />
So... up for sale (but unable to ship at this time)... Ricky with Henny Penny and Rose (his girls we just got before my mom passed away. Thank you to our friend in Montana for these girls. They made my mom's life that much happier and fuller before she passed.) They together go for $25 (RIR trio). Also there are Storm, Mya, and Sunshine (EE trio), which are going for $25 all together. Frosty and Snowball $20 together. The two unnamed blue silkies together (pair) $20. Three bantam chicks in the brooder ($15 for all three), and a buff orp chick $5 for him.<br />
<br />
My friend in S. Carolina will be getting Precious Boy and Kimme. If all goes well, a friend in New Jersey may get the EE's. I would love it if she gets to have them. She's been wanting EE's.<br />
<br />
But... for now... Here are pics of our birds. =)<br />

Yay!So we added to our flocks! We now have 2 white silkies that are a year old. Their names are Snowball and Frosty. Snowball has yet to start laying for us. We've had them for about a week and a half, and still nothing... but that's okay so long as she will adopt... OUR NEW CHICKS! lol Yup, we got our shipment from mypetchicken today. 10 blue silkies and 2 speckled sussex. And on Thursday, we have eggs due to hatch. We're going to take them ALL out together and see if Snowball will adopt them. We're really hoping. And next week we will be purchasing some Serama chicks too! Yay! Hold on... not done yet... lol Gloria, our white rock hen... she... went... BROODY!!!! Yup. Unfortunately she didn't have any fertile eggs from herself, or Mable due to the fact that Precious Boy is still trying to get on his feet. SO... we went to the guy out here where we got our adult birds from last year, and bought 6 fertile eggs for her, and he gave us 7. So she is sitting on 7 fertile eggs, and she and Mable are both still laying. Guess we may have to toss their eggs for now since they're being "incubated". Not too sure they'd be edible because of that. But I am so HAPPY right now! Here are some pictures!<br />

I've been keeping quite busy. Let's see.... Nemo and Ruby died in a tragic accident, so that leaves Ricky, Diamond, Eagle, and Shatel left in the bantam coop. We've been working on getting their run up, and that's almost done. The frame of it is done, we just need to attach all the fencing to it. <br />
<br />
Little Angel wasn't getting any better, so we attempted to put him down by means of a gas chamber that is accepted by the american veterinary something or other. The first try kinda phased him a little, but he quickly snapped out of it. Tried again today and it worked. =( I'm really going to miss him, but it was the best thing for him. He wasn't going to get better. =( And yes... I cried. I tried not to, but I loved him and couldn't help but let the tears loose.<br />
<br />
My friend sent me 14 bantam cochin eggs. 7 hatched and they are now 3 weeks old. We also bought a trio of mille fleurs. 1 boy, Mario, and 2 girls, Aurora and Jasmine. They are now 4 weeks old. All ten are in the brooder cage together and will be heading out to the silkie coop for a couple of weeks before becoming part of the bantam crew with the other 4.<br />
<br />
We now have 21 eggs in our incubator. 20 are chicken eggs... ameracaunas, EE's, and olive eggers. The other one is a sparrow egg I found in the yard. It was in the grass under our old maple, but there were no sparrow nests around. My guess is that a larger bird invaded a sparrow nest and snatched this egg. While trying to get away with it, the parent sparrows chased it... causing it to drop the egg. SO.. I took it in to see if it will hatch. Guess we'll find out! And we'll also find out how many of the chicken eggs will hatch as well. I don't plan to keep all of the chicks. I may sell some. We'll see.<br />
<br />
On the 18th we're expecting a shipment of MORE chicks to come in the mail! lol There will be 10 blue silkies (1 boy, 9 girls) and 2 speckled sussex (both girls). We can hardly wait to see them! They'll come the 18th... and the eggs in the incubator are expected to hatch the next day! LOL Wow! There will be about 30 chicks for the brooder! <br />
<br />
Umm... but the brooder isn't big enough for that many.... And the chicks from the eggs are LF, along with the two SS... and then the silkies are bantam... We may have to use the silkie coop as the brooder. We shall see what happens. <br />
<br />
Precious Boy still isn't on his feet. Turns out his tendons are all tight and swollen. The vet gave him some anti-inflammatory medication, and we have to do physical therapy on his legs... stretching them straight out 20 times twice per day. The left leg is starting to loosen up, but the right leg is staying pretty tight. The vet told me this is going to take a long time, but I'm willing to keep up with it. And he'd BETTER get on those feet! I want to be able to have purebred SS chicks in the future! LOL<br />
<br />
Gloria is DEFINITELY the top bird in their small group. She and Mable are still laying their eggs, but are finally BOTH laying in one of the nest boxes. They share the same box. Mable wanted all of the fake eggs in that box, but couldn't get them in there herself... so I put them in there for her. She's happy now. I don't understand the point to that since she's not a broody breed. I've also started finding some of Gloria's feathers in the nest box with the eggs. I wonder if she will go broody soon? If so, she's young for her breed. Plymoth rocks don't typically go broody until their second year, and she's not even a year old yet. None of my birds are. Precious will be on May 21st. I'm thinking of making him a corn bread cake for his "hatch day". lol We'll see. <br />
<br />
We also took in another dog. He's a jack russel and fox terrier mix. He's so cute. His name is Nacho, and he'll be 2 years old October 1st. <br />

It was a beautiful day. Unfortunately we suffered a double tragedy as well. =( We kept a 4 ft by 2 ft wall board in the door of the chick coop, sort of as a baby gate. It fell in on three of the chicks killing 2 of them. Ruby and Nemo (Jade), our two golden sebrights. ***cries*** My poor babies! I buried them together. They were close to each other, with lots of love between them. Then they died together. It was only right to bury them together. The third chick was unharmed, miraculously! It was a great day... until this happened. We continued our work, and made sure to get that "gate" board out of there. The weekend of the 22nd, we are putting up their run. I can hardly wait. RIP my precious babies.... =(<br />

They seem to be happy out there. Hopefully the temperatures will start staying warmer. We're supposed to see around 76 on Sunday. The temperatures are fluctuating from 70's down to 50's with upper 30's to low 40's at night. I wonder how much longer we should keep a brooder light in there.<br />

Angel (or Angelico as I plan to call him should he make it) is doing good. He sure has the will to live! His head is a lot more sturdy, so maybe he'll get back on his feet soon. The vet suggested we make a sling for him, so I did... he doesn't like it. lol But it's to help encourage him to use his legs.<br />

Precious has been making some great effort of getting back on his feet finally. He hasn't succeeded much yet, but at least he's trying. We gave him a bath on Wednesday. He wasn't sure what to think of it, or the blow dry afterwords. But I think he enjoyed it. Then we let him loose in the kitchen. He didn't go far at first. Then He made a quick run for it into the front room (a whole foot and a half or so). Then he collapsed back down to get off of those sore feet. Poor baby. He took a couple of steps tonight in his cage. But mostly just bounces around on his "heels". I taught him how to drink from a water bottle tonight too. The kind you'd use for a rabbit. He wasn't sure what to make of that either, but quickly learned how to get the water out. So much for all the spilled water in the cage now! YES!!!! lol He made a HUGE mess in the cage yesterday. We just gave him fresh food and water, and he spilled ALL of it! Now, no more spilling the water. He can still spill the food, but that's not as big of a deal. He'll eat it right up.<br />

Now for the NEWS!!! We just got ourselves 3 new baby Mille Fleur chicks! Yay! There's supposed to be two girls, and one boy. Hopefully we got it right. lol The darkest one is supposed to be the boy. I've decided to name one of the girls Jasmine... but not sure which one yet. Now to figure out which will be Jasmine, and name the other two babies. They are VERY cute! And MAN! I forgot how small they were! They were hatched under a broody hen. Beautiful girl. Silkie and frizzle cochin mix. She was black, small, and very pretty. Yes, the millie's are purebred. The lady also has auracana's. Maybe we'll get some from her some day. Just not right now. lol<br />

Our cochin eggs are due to hatch in a week. I can hardly wait! And in May... 12 more babies coming to us! 10 silkies, and 2 speckled sussex. Precious may never be able to be a show bird now, but I know he could produce some show worthy babies!<br />
<br />
<br />
Gloria and Mable have different personalities now that Precious isn't out there with them. Gloria is our white rock hen, and Mable is our light brown leghorn hen. Gloria seems to be the boss now, and Mable follows her everywhere. And Gloria is now watchful when we collect eggs, which was one of the jobs Precious Boy did when he was out there. I really can't wait to get him back out there. It's been 2 1/2 weeks already. =( And I have plans for after he's back too. About 2-3 weeks after he's back out there, and they're doing their "thing", I plan to collect some eggs to put in the bator. I'd like to have some of their babies. I want girls, so any boys I'd get I would sell. Unfortunately, they may end up meat birds since they'd be mutts. =( And that makes me feel really bad.<br />

Next spring, we plan to sell fertile eggs. We'll have plenty of them too. Mille Fleur, blue silkies, golden sebrights, ameraucanas... and mixed breeds. I'm still not sure what breed Aurora is... but I'm sure he's really a Ricky... so unless I'm proved wrong, we are now calling him Ricky. I was thinking Ricky could be a Java? I guess it will be easier to tell his breed when he's full grown... or at least easier for those who know breeds better than I do. I'd like to get some more golden sebright girls, and some girls for Ricky. I learned the sebrights only lay about 1 egg per week, which isn't many. Especially if you only have one hen and one roo. =/ And poor Ricky doesn't have any girls of his breed, so I REALLY want to get him some. (If anyone knows what breed he is, please tell me.)<br />

Well, I hope you enjoyed the pictures. We won't be posting any pictures again from these guys until around the 15th. So stay tuned! <br />
<br />
We checked on our chicks, and they were a little cold. They were huddled together under the heat lamp, so we added two heating pads. They were happy about that. They seemed to be more comfortable after that. We'll be checking on them again here in a little bit. My poor little babies.....<br />
<br />
Little Angel is getting settled down for the night. I have to say, he did get aggravated at us with all the turning the light on and off when we were candling. lol He kept yelling at us. lol <br />
<br />
Our adult roo, Precious Boy... We took the bandages off again, and decided we only needed to rebandage 2 of the 5 toes. I know they're still sore, which may be why he's still not trying to walk on them. Poor baby. We're working on MAKING him get up and move around so he can learn to tolerate the pain, and be more on the road to recovery. Hopefully soon, he'll be healed up and walking around again. But for now, he's enjoying being spoiled and pampered. lol (But don't tell his girls that! It's just not manly! lol) As for his girls... they're getting feisty. They keep trying to run out the man door. They know Precious was out that way and want to find him. I have to hurry and swoop them up, when we open the door, so they can't get out. But otherwise, they are doing great! Still laying good, eating good... Speaking of eating... Gloria is GREEDY with the treats! Poor little Mable only gets a little bit, while Gloria hurries to gobble it all down.<br />
<br />
I heard it's good for chickens to keep a turkey around because the turkey will eat parasite that could make the chickens sick. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's making me consider getting a turkey hen for each group. Does anyone have any info about this that could shed some light?<br />
<br />
Well, I'm going to go now. Have a good night all! And don't worry... I'll keep you updated as I can on <u>everyone</u>. =)Cavendish Chickenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12788003159377920029noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044508562521770568.post-7187978096285404132011-04-01T17:21:00.000-04:002011-04-01T17:21:41.092-04:00The chicks are in their new coop!As you may know, we built a coop ourselves for our little bantam group. We put the chicks (except Angel) out there. I know I'm going to worry about them nonstop, and check on them all the time. We do still need to get some nest boxes and perches out there, but for now it is good to go for little ones. Here are some pictures of them in there. They're pretty much staying under the brooder lamp. It's still pretty cold out, especially at night. And, we're learning that we'll need to add some more hens of these breeds so we can have a better supply of their fertile eggs when it's time. <br />
<br />
Without further ado.... Our babies in their new coop:<br />

Aren't they tiny? I hate having them out there, but they needed more room. Sweet little babies. Angel is still in the brooder. We are going to give him a week to get better. If he's not better by Friday, we'll probably have him put down. We have a lady that lives in town that raises Mille Fleur's, so we'll be going to her house to buy two or three of her hatchlings. Plus we have 14 bantam cochin eggs in the incubator. We'll be candling them tonight to see how they're doing. I'll try to get pictures of some of the eggs to post on here as well. =)Cavendish Chickenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12788003159377920029noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044508562521770568.post-10496426592848215162011-03-31T18:18:00.000-04:002011-03-31T18:18:11.312-04:00Catching up!I know I haven't posted in a while, and here's why...<br />
<br />
Our adult rooster, Precious Boy, got frost bite from the winter weather. On the 23rd, we took him and the chicks to the vet. The vet checked the chicks stool for coccidia, and found nothing. Their poo was clear. Yay! But poor Precious had to have the frost bite cut out, and lost four toenails. I've been spending a lot of time babying and pampering him while he's been healing. And we've been building a new coop for the chicks. The coop is pretty much done, but needs nest boxes and roosts still. Oh... and a run. lol <br />
<br />
Well, Precious wasn't doing too good outside, so I brought him in the house. Then I noticed that little Angel wasn't doing good. He was all wobbly, and couldn't hold his head/neck still. <br />
<br />
Well, we don't have the money for another trip to the vet right now, so I don't know what's wrong with him. He's been like this for about three or four days now. I feed him chick feed that I soften with water, and give him water to drink through a medicine dropper/syringe. He doesn't really seem worse, but he doesn't seem better either. I have no idea if he will get better, or die. AND I don't know what caused this. Some are suggesting Marek's, but as I read more about it, I don't think it is. There are no cuts, bumps, bruises, or anything anywhere on him. No enlarged body parts, and nothing weird going on with his eyes. Whatever it is seems to be neurological. I just wish I knew what it was, and whether or not he will get better. I also wish I had the money to take him to the vet to decipher what's wrong, and if he won't get better, or will die anyway, have him put down rather than suffer any more. <br />
<br />
The other chicks are all doing well. They are strong, healthy, and happy. They are about ready to go out in their coop, which may end up being our weekend project. Jade (Nemo) and Aurora (Ricky) keep getting into tiffs. Jade keeps winning, so I think he's the top boy in there. He ends up biting Aurora on the head/comb, causing Aurora to shriek and scream. When they go out, Angel will stay inside where I can keep tending to him constantly. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well how 'bout them apples? The vet just called me to check on Precious. lol I talked to him about Angel, and he said that it sounds like it's his serabelum (sp). Sometimes they can get better, or even just a little better, and sometimes not. And it would be something he would always live with. It would be something that happened while Angel was in the egg, and it's catching up with him now. He suggested giving him some aspirin water (4 drops twice a day), to maybe help any inflammation he may be having going on. And he wants me to call him back in a few days to let him know how he is. I guess that if he doesn't die from it, but will suffer the rest of his life from this... the best thing may be to put him down. We'll see if he gets any better. A friend mailed me some chick saver (?) that I should get possibly on Saturday. I'll keep you all posted.

The old coop and run have been torn down, ground smoothed back out, and the new run is almost finished. We'll complete the new run tomorrow so Precious Boy and his girls, who have been cooped up for a few weeks, can get back out and enjoy themselves. They had previously been flooded out of their old coop and run. After this one is done, we can get started on building a third coop. I made the floor for it today. Nice and strong! lol And then we have two more runs to build, and a garden to get up and going. Thank goodness for nephews that can help out!<br />
<br />
The chicks had their first LIVE treat today. It was funny! While we were digging around, we found a handful of worms that we fed to them. (I read it was okay to feed worms to them at this age.) They weren't sure of the worms at first, then couldn't get enough of them! They'd pick up a worm and run all over with it/them. It was very entertaining to watch. (Precious, Gloria, and Mable all got to enjoy some worms this weekend too.) =)<br />
<br />
I still don't have any updated pictures yet, but will soon. I just have to say that you can finally tell they are growing. I think that they have at least doubled in size. They're trying more and more to fly. Luckily they aren't trying to fly away from us. I worry they may try sometime, but don't want to trim their wing feathers. Once the third coop is up, they may be big enough to be put in it, but not the run quite yet. And I have learned that the ameraucana's are indeed bantam's. So that's good since we were planning to keep them in with them anyway.<br />
<br />
We had a nice warm day yesterday, but chillier today. And it's going to be colder tomorrow. Hopefully it doesn't take us too long to get the last touches done on the run. =/ lolCavendish Chickenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12788003159377920029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044508562521770568.post-36561462228459208472011-03-17T22:01:00.000-04:002011-03-17T22:01:28.761-04:00Update on breeds and health...Well, four or five of the chicks have diarrhea. We're taking our adult rooster to the vet Wednesday, and they will check out the diarrhea problem with the chicks while we're there.<br />
<br />
A friend on facebook was trying to name some of the breeds, and I found they were right about one breed. Jade and Ruby appear to be golden sebrights. Sebright hens lay about 1 tiny egg that is cream or tinted in color, and have rose combs. When I was looking at the combs they are slowly growing, I thought they looked like they would be rose or pea. And Jade's comb is slightly bigger than Ruby's, although they are only just starting to grow them. They were thinking that Aurora may be a silver sebright, but Aurora is growing his/her comb in, and it isn't shaped like that. It is more of a single comb that sticks up. <br />
<br />
Aurora, Ruby, Angel, and one or two of the ameraucana chicks all have the diarrhea issue. Hopefully they will get better soon. I'm sure it will eventually spread to the rest of the group before it's over. <br />
<br />
One other thing I have noticed is that they seem to be somewhat attached to me already. Some of them attempt to groom me, which I find interesting. Diamond, one of the fuzzy footers has done something even more interestingly funny. I was holding Diamond, and she/he decided to crawl down onto my leg. (I was laying in bed.) My husband reached over to pet Diamond, who decided to go running back to mommy for protection. lol And my husband says they are HIS babies. HAH! lol<br />
<br />
As for the ameraucana chicks... they are both doing very well. The "lazy" chick has finally perked up and is keeping up with the rest very well. Crooked toe now has a permanent name... Eagle. We're not sure, but we think Eagle is a male while the other is a female. That one still needs a name.<br />
<br />
We are working on backup names for the chicks who turn out to be males instead of females.<br />
<br />
Aurora will be Ricky if male<br />
Ruby will be Ruben<br />
Eagle will still be Eagle<br />
Jade will be Nemo <br />
The rest... well... we're still working on the rest. lol<br />
<br />
I think some of these babies may very well be on their way to being show birds. Jade, one of the golden sebrights, poses on its own. Still working on getting Jade used to having his/her vent, wings, legs, feet, etc looked at. (As with all of the others.) Diamond... we're still trying to figure out what Diamond and Angel are. They seem exactly the same, except for one thing... Diamond has fluffy cheeks. Diamond has the same comb type, coloration, and fuzzy feet as Angel. Just fluffy cheeks... like an ameraucana. It's weird. I wonder if Diamond is a mutt? A cross between whatever Angel is (possibly cochin or brahma) and an ameraucana? Or, if Diamond just happens to have fluffy cheeks right now. But I have to say that Diamond is proving to be somewhat show worthy as well. Poses beautifully, takes excellent pictures... still working on the having wings, vent, legs, feet, etc examined. <br />
<br />
We'd like to tag all of our birds with leg bands. My husband's idea is to put blue on the boys, and pink on the girls... though I don't like pink, so we agreed to use purple instead. That's good and all, but I suppose we'd then have to continue to paint toe nails to tell the girls apart if we can't otherwise. I mean... we're getting a shipment of chicks in May. 2 speckled sussex hens, and 10 silkies... of which only one is supposed to be a boy. So how else can we tell the girls apart? Nail polished toes. =) lol We're going to wait until all of our birds are full grown to put leg bands on them though, so we don't have to worry about them outgrowing them. I'm thinking of going with bandettes, or spiraled bands. I don't really like the idea of not being able to easily get them on and off.<br />
<br />
Differences in combs to determine genders? Well, I mentioned a little above... but here we go....<br />
Jade's comb is bigger than Ruby's<br />
Aurora has the biggest comb, but no others that are the same breed to determine a real difference<br />
Eagle seems to have a bigger comb than "the lazy chick"<br />
And Angel appears to have a bigger comb than Diamond<br />
So we could have 3 or 4 boys and/or 3 or 4 girls. I'm hoping for more girls.<br />
<br />
A friend of mine is letting me purchase some of her bantam cochin eggs. The babies will be added to the group of bantams we have now. I'm curious though whether the ameraucana's are bantam or large fowl. They are a week older than the original 5, who are bantams, and are just about the same size... only a fraction of a bit bigger, which is hardly noticeable. I guess time will tell. OR... I could email the lady we got them from and ask her. That would be smart. lol That is... if she left a way to email her on her ad. My husband called her about purchasing the chicks, so if no email... maybe I can convince him to call her real quick to ask about their size.<br />
<br />
Well... that's about all the update I have for now. Sorry no pics this time. I don't want to harass them while they're not feeling good.Cavendish Chickenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12788003159377920029noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044508562521770568.post-62619668170456454952011-03-14T21:03:00.001-04:002011-03-14T21:05:20.940-04:00Updated pics... can you tell who is who? =)Well, just in case you can't tell, I will put their names with the pictures. =) They are really growing!

Crooked toe is on the left. He/she has longer wings and a longer tail that is brown. The other one has a whiter tail and shorter wings. Crooked toe is also starting to grow a comb. Just barely there, have to look hard. And the other one has been spending today and yesterday sleeping about 95% of the time. I dip his/her beak in water so it can get a drink. Hubby placed some loose feed on the ground in front of it to get it to eat, and it worked. =) Hopefully it will perk up soon.

Alright kids, that's it for today. Wasn't that a fun game? lol Oh! Can you see Aurora's comb growing? And if you look close, you can sort of see the "comb" difference between these two ameraucana's. =) Hasta luegoCavendish Chickenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12788003159377920029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044508562521770568.post-44841088724618444272011-03-13T23:45:00.000-04:002011-03-13T23:45:35.769-04:00New chicks in the crew!Okay, so our dumb butts decided to get some Ameraucana chicks. And my husband actually was so desperate to get some RIGHT NOW that he was willing to drive to Orrville for them. The people there show their birds, so the chicks are of a good line. Now, I have showed him how to gender them by feathers because we thought we were getting day old chicks. Nah... we ended up with 2 week old chicks (a week older than our current bantam chicks). I let him pick them out. He picked two he was thinking were both girls. We start to head home, and as I was holding them on the drive home... I saw that one looks like it is starting to grow its comb. Hmmm... Just little bumps, but noticeable if you are really looking. After we get home and we're both holding them, we decide to paint the toenails on one of them so we can tell them apart. She said they are wheaton's (sp). We decided to paint the nails of the one that is growing its comb, and as I painted its nails I noticed it has one crooked toe. Not sure if there is anything I can do to straighten it. Probably not. Now, that one seems to be doing fine now. Finely starting to relax and join the group of bantams. The other one just lays there. It wasn't when it was with its hatchling group at the other house. It was running around, chirping, and carrying on. I hope it perks up by tomorrow. If not, it will be like trying to care for little Bumble again... and I hope, if so, it doesn't have the same result. We paid $6 each for them, and they have been vaccinated. I will continue to post on all of the chicks, and keep updating about all of them and how they are doing and growing. We have also noticed that the one with the crooked toe, and growing comb has a tail, while the other doesn't quite yet. Well... without further ado... Here are pictures of the new Ameraucana chicks! =)<br />

Wakes up and sits straight up fast when we touch it. Perhaps it just needs more time to settle in. I have showed them where the food and water is, and dipped their beaks in them. Even left them sitting by the food. Then they walked back over to be under the brooder light.

Three have full wings and have started to grow tails. The other two are just finishing growing their wings, but no tails yet. Today I watched them gang up on the thermometer, trying to beat it up. lol And I have also seen them trying to fly. Our white and black chick is succeeding with that more than the others. I saw it get about half way up the cage before tumbling back down. We have chosen a boy name for it just in case it is a boy... Ricky. Aurora will stick if it's a girl. I also noticed that it's comb is starting to grow in. It is one of the three that has full wings and starting to grow its tail. It is still a little uneasy about being held, but does quite down after a couple of minutes.<br />
<br />
The two feather footers have minor combs that are barely even noticeable. One has full wings with a tail starting, while the other has no tail yet and is just finishing growing its tail. I have also noticed that one, the one we call Diamond, has fluffy cheeks while Angel doesn't. Diamond also has a grayer belly and chest than Angel. Also, Angel is more calm about being held than Diamond. Everything else is pretty much the same as far as I can see. I'm sure I will notice more differences as time goes on.<br />
<br />
As for the other two... Jade and Ruby. Ruby is the quietest of the group. She is also very calm about being held. She has more of a reddish hue to her head than Jade, who has more of a brown going into a black colored head. Jade is the third of the chicks that has full wings and is starting to grow its tail in. Neither of them have comes as of yet. I have noticed another difference in them, which is that Ruby has a slightly browner beak than Jade. Not by much, just slightly. <br />
<br />
Out of the group, I couldn't tell you who poops the most. lol They all poop a LOT. And the terds are getting bigger. lol I have more pictures of them for you. The first is of them ganging up on the thermometer. Not quite sure what they're trying to accomplish, speaking it's an inanimate object. Guess they don't quite know that yet. lol<br />

As you know, we're still not sure of their genders... or their breeds. I know that when they're about 3 months old we should be able to tell the roo's for sure, speaking they'll have spur bumps. Just wish I could know sooner. Oh well. And only time will tell before I know the breeds too.

So today, the chicks are VERY curious and have been trying hard to peak out of the cage we're using as a brooder. I managed to catch one a few times with my camera...<br />

Another chick was stretching up to check out the brooder light, and two were jumping up trying to get up on the bars of the cage to look out. That didn't quite work. It was much easier for them to stretch up and look like the one in the above pictures did. lol It's amazing how curious they are, and how fast they're growing. =)Cavendish Chickenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12788003159377920029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044508562521770568.post-21519888265276439392011-03-09T23:04:00.000-05:002011-03-09T23:04:30.882-05:00I have made a decision....Okay, on Friday March 4th... my 29th birthday... I decided to sucker my husband into taking me to Tractor Supply for chick days. After we got there... hee hee hee... I annoyed him until he gave in and went in with me to purchase chicks. lol He paid the most since he had to also purchase chick feed and chick grit. lol But, hey... I got my babies. As we looked over the chicks to try and pick some out, we found a white one that kept beating the others up. So mean! So... we did NOT get that one. Instead, we got two fuzzy footed babies, two darker babies, one really dark baby, and a really pale yellow baby. Yeah, the minimum you could purchase was six.<br />

Well, the really dark baby was weak from the get go. And I knew it. But I took on the challenge. She had light striped markings on her that reminded me of a bee, so I named her Bumble. Unfortunately she didn't make it. =(<br />

They couldn't tell me the breeds. Great... now what? I researched baby chicks and their breeds, and really didn't find many that matched. I think our two fuzzy footers are cochins, though I'm not sure. I thought the other "pair" were brahma's, but someone said they disagree because they don't have fuzzy feet like brahma's. So... I still don't know what they are. What am I going to do? Well, after reading over a page someone did about easter egger chickens and their colors... I decided I will continually make posts on my babies' development. Here are current pictures of them, and their names. Enjoy! =)<br />

Aren't they cute??? Well, time will tell what they will grow to look like... and what their genders really are. Hopefully we can figure out their breeds too. lol So, sit back and enjoy the growth process with me. It will be an interesting ride!

I can hardly wait until spring gets here. I have the need to get out there and get things done. This past year has been quite interesting:<br />
<br />
November 2010: Oh my... we had SO much rain for Thanksgiving! Yup... so much that the makeshift roof we made over the chicken run collapsed in. The chickens were getting soaked! We spent all of Thanksgiving day working and repairing, making sure it would be supportive enough for the coming snow We got done just in time for dinner with the family. It was crazy! But boy did the chickens enjoy the pumpkin pie they got as a Thanksgiving treat!<br />
<br />
December 2010: Christmas was nice. That fixed roof has been holding up good, and the hens are laying good. Heck, we made cookies with their eggs! And let's not forget to mention their Christmas treat of those cookies! (cream cheese cookies) They loved them!<br />
<br />
January: Hmm... well.... Lots of snow. Didn't like it one bit. Had to keep clearing a path to the chickens. The snow started getting so deep that my husband had to climb up top that roof over the run and clear it off so to be sure it wouldn't collapse.<br />
<br />
February: For Valentine's day, I gave the chickens some sweet potatoes. They couldn't get enough! lol Still laying eggs wonderfully, and the roof over the run is still holding as well. Groundhogs all predicted an early spring, and we got a weeks worth for this month. Made it into the 60's, and boy was that nice! Made me nuts trying not to go outside and start gardening. Gloria laid a double yolker, but it unfortunately proved infertile.<br />
<br />
It's March now, and it looks like we may get that early spring. Here's hoping! There's barely any snow left, yet it's still cold. The chickens are even getting spring fever. We put plastic up around the run to protect them from the winter elements, and they are now trying to pick at it to make it fall. They want to see the grass and look around. Poor babies. I know how they feel! Come on Spring!Cavendish Chickenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12788003159377920029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044508562521770568.post-64326169209287899222011-01-26T16:41:00.000-05:002011-01-26T16:41:51.952-05:00Raising chickens and loving it!Well, the orpingtons didn't hatch. Two developed and died during incubation, and the third never developed. So, we incubated 6 other eggs, only one hatched. It was a speckled sussex roo. He hatched on May 21st, and now has two hens with him, and more to eventually come. We named him Precious Boy. The girls are Gloria (a white rock) and Mable (a light brown leghorn). They hatched around June 12th. This spring we will be adding a second flock, silkies. We're really excited. We chose the colors black and blue, and may later add in splash. And as for Precious Boy getting more hens... we may integrate some in, but right now we are waiting for Gloria to go broody and let her hatch some of hers and Mable's eggs. We think it may be an easier transition that way. And the little roos that come out of the brood will most likely be sold, if we can find any takers. So... as for now, we LOVE raising our chickens, and can't wait to have more. Now off to let my son listen to the new radio show for kids. blogtalkradio.com/chickidsCavendish Chickenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12788003159377920029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044508562521770568.post-52996762220062105632010-04-22T14:23:00.000-04:002010-04-22T14:31:12.384-04:00Our first chickensToday, April 22nd, 2010, is an anxious day for us. We are incubating eggs at this point and time. And either tomorrow, or Saturday, our new Orpington babies will hatch. There are only three eggs. We're not looking to have a lot of chickens. Just a few. From the beginning, we have been thinking that the smaller egg may not hatch, but only time will tell. We are very excited. We have two kids, but waiting for the eggs to hatch makes us feel like anxious new parents. It's so exciting. Right now we are making last minute preparations for their indoor accommodations. Yes, we know they will go outside eventually. Our only thought right now is... Is there any way to mark them in a safe way so we can tell them each apart? As baby chicks that is. I know that some use metal bands on adult birds' legs. But what about while they are still young chicks? We'd like to be able to tell them apart. But, we don't want to do anything that would hurt them, or paint them. We've heard of some people painting their young birds for a while to tell them apart. And we don't want to do that either. So, if anyone reads this before we figure it out, any advice on safely marking them? As for now, we wait anxiously for our new arrivals!Cavendish Chickenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12788003159377920029noreply@blogger.com0
