minty
runs bartertown
blonky has missed showing off his beautiful majestic buttery feathers
bandit is currently mothering two mixed race children. half cochin, half old english game
you can see they have feathery feets
the rest of the chickens are fine too, even little buddy n honey, who has been vying for right hand man
boo currently is, so honey has periodically been fighting boo, but boo is too strong for now
lookit his little battle wounds on his comb
the shipment of chicks i ordered from a legit hatchery arrived, and if you thought it was sad how many roosters i ended up with buying in person oh boy do baby chick shipments of confirmed hens not fare much better
these are the blue cochins, golden campine, golden wyandotte, and speckled sussex
lookit these nuggets. so cute
as per norm, the one with the bandit mask is a menace
everybirdy else was asleep n she was running around terrorizing them pecking their beaks to establish head command
there are three though that had bad shipping stress. i have been nursing them with electrolytes in an eye dropper. one passed n i buried her in my tomatoes. one is perking back up, and another is trying.
while chicks can go the first day n some without food because they are still digesting the yolk, the issue is getting stuffed in a box n yeeted from p.o to p.o
shipping stress can result in not eating or drinking. so i have literally spent every 45 minutes manually opening their beaks to put a crumb of food in far back enough that they have to swallow it because if its in the front of their mouth they spit it out
look at these two idiots who don't wanna eat food, but will loudly peep out of hunger
they are the egyptian fayoumi and the silver laced wyandotte
fingers crossed for them
i will post some crops later. i have some tomatoes n peppers ripening atm, some string beans out stringin' n beanin' n so on
