Added 2023-07-12 14:50:34 +0000 UTCI set up my younger chicks with the goats and older chickens to get them used to each other. I feel a lot better about having the chicks in an outdoor pen then in the quail coop. The goats have decided to play on it constantly though. It was put together pretty quick so it’s not the sturdiest so I’m assuming the goats will probably break it.
Then there’s my rooster. I love him. He’s the biggest and always hangs out with the adult hens. He is protective and good at alerting of potential dangers. He’s not to sure of me yet. Almost daily I try to get him to eat out of my hand but he just looks at me. The hen in the back that has some feathers missing on her head is one of my first chickens I brought onto this property. She lost her head feathers last winter when I took in a few to many roosters for someone and the hen to rooster ratio wasn’t close to where it should be.
