Little chickens growing up

[Mini Horses]

I'd love to have a hen go broody, or two. Just love to watch a hen with her biddies! Of course, I would then need to get some fertile eggs as the only roo left here is in his own pen, adjacent to hens. I don't like the roos to be so aggressive with the girls and this one sure was. May pick up a different breed and put a trio together for eggs...or bator.

Will have to see how my time goes with the other things I need to be taking care of this Spring. May just buy chicks again.

Now that I have my chickens separated into separate flocks, I'm hoping I don't end up w/any bald chickens this year-other than for molting.

@sumi !! you got chicks! I love chicks, I have always had to raise them in the house, hope by spring I have something OUTSIDE set up for them! I am glad to see you get your homestead going, it's so hard to move and start over. Keep us updated!

They're my little "therapy chickens" I wasn't going to expand the flock just yet, but I had a (thankfully manageable) cancer diagnosis late last year. I'm actually going for more surgery next week Tuesday. I decided to get some chicks to cheer me up while I deal with all this.

@sumi I will be praying for you. You will come through this and get on with your life. I don't blame you for getting a couple of chicks to cheer yourself up. Heck, if I was facing cancer surgery, I might get a couple dozen!

Same here!

How are they? I'm going to be hatching some this spring.
Hope you feel better soon.

The chicks are doing great! The Daisybelle turned out to be a he and the Brahma a pullet. My second surgery went o.k. and the results were a "positive negative" according to my 9yo son They got all the cancer out.

That's great news.
