It’s been a while since I last posted, so here’s a little coop and flock update! 🐥

Back in June, we added two ducks to our flock, and I’m pretty sure one of them is a drake. 🤣 They absolutely love hanging out with all the girls!

Our chickens are getting so close to laying! We currently have one laying hen, our 1 year old ISA Brown, and we’re eagerly waiting on our other girls, 5 Easter Eggers and 4 Rhode Island Reds. It won’t be long now!

Now for the next adventure… once these girls are all laying, I just have to figure out how to convince my partner that we need a quail coop. 🤣 Wish me luck!

HUGE SHOUTOUT to our parents and family for making this coop possible! They CLUCKING LOVE IT!

You're going to laugh at this...

The two Isa Browns I picked up on Friday are already laying eggs. They both gifted me butt nuggets on Saturday, and since Sunday I've been getting one butt nugget a day from one of them (although I have no idea which one).

Here's the problem: both girls seem completely normal, like nothing is wrong. One of them appears to lay like clockwork in the exact same spot every day... or at least I think it's the same girl.

But chickens being chickens, I know it's perfectly normal for a hen to skip a day or two. Still, I'm suspicious. I have a feeling the other gal is laying too and just hiding them somewhere.

So now my daily routine has turned into an exciting game of: "Where did you hide your butt nuggets today?"

Baby chicks are honestly little chaos nuggets, here are some fun facts you’ll love 🐣

🐥 They imprint FAST
• Chicks “imprint” within the first couple days of life, basically, they decide who/what is mom.
• If you’re raising them, congrats… you might be mom now.

🥚 They can “talk” before they hatch
• Chicks start peeping inside the egg and even communicate with the hen and other chicks before hatching.

⚡ They grow ridiculously fast
• They can double in size in just a week with proper care.
• Feels like you blink and suddenly they’re teenagers with attitudes.

🧠 Smarter than people think
• Chicks can recognize faces (yes, yours 👀).
• They can also learn routines and come running when they know food is involved.

🌡️ They can’t regulate body temp yet
• That’s why heat lamps are so important—they rely on external warmth just like little dinosaurs (because… they basically are).

🪶 Fluff now, feathers later
• That cute fluff? It’s not real feathers yet.
• They’ll start getting actual feathers in a couple weeks and look awkward as hell for a bit 😂

🐔 They start pecking immediately
• Pecking is instinctual, they’ll peck at food, shiny things, your fingers… everything.
• It’s how they explore the world.

🎤 They all have different personalities
• Some are bold and sassy, some are shy, some are absolute menaces.
• You’ll definitely start recognizing “who’s who” quickly.

🥚 Not all chicks = egg layers (yet!)
• Depending on breed, they won’t start laying eggs until around 4–6 months old.
• So your girls are in their “cute freeloading phase” right now 😅
