While everyone was gearing up to leave for church. I was getting comfy in bed to go back to sleep to get as much sleep as possible, to start of my work week stronger. After last week not feeling that great and yesterday possibly having a fever and coughing. Krystal comes in, ''Mel, there are more baby chicks! '' that there were. There is 3 as of now. Two fluff butts that look a day or two old. And one who is still finding it's feet with the umbilical cord still attached. My cat Frodo took off with it. He was chased down and he dropped the poor thing. It seems okay. They went to church and I'm not sleeping bc baby chicks need heat. I ground up some chicken food, so it's easier for them. And the two older chicks drink water like pro's!
Never seems to be a dull day on the farm. I can't with these hens. First time ever to have more than one hen hatch chicks. We have had four.
And spent time with my girls while I went out to check for more baby chicks. I think she holding out.
