Chicken update
The chicken flock is growing, 6 teenagers and 27 this last week. Still have about 12 left to hatch. The hens have been so insistent about sitting that I gave in and now everyone is hatching a few. Should have a flock of around 50 when all is said and done. So far though, total survival.
A few days later: lost a few chicks but ended up with 34. I now have the original hen and rooster, their 7 (2 roosters and 5 hens), 6 teenagers from March (4 roosters and 2 hens), and now the new chicks. Total flock of 49. It is really going to be cool watching them run around, but I promise myself I will keep the eggs gathered this time. Enough chickens for this year.
