We have acquired some new chickens recently. Last month W put a bunch of eggs in an incubator
and we ended up with 13 tiny, fluffy chicks.
This is the tiniest one of the bunch. She spends more time warming under the lamp
than some of the others but is strong and growing every day.
My dad was given a bunch of chicks and only wanted to keep
some of them. He offered us any of the
others. We chose six to add to our
flock.
Finally our broody hen Bubbles has been diligently sitting on
15 eggs. I hope to have pictures of her
babies to share next week.
This is the most frugal way to hatch out baby chicks as she
only requires a bit of feed and no electricity.
