Unsuccessful broody hatch

Post by Colleen Kinzie » Mon May 02, 2016 6:41 pm

I went and got 5 chicks from a guy on kijiji.
20.00 plus prob 20.00 for gas. Lol
I'm hoping no diseases. His flock looked healthy and so did the chicks :xfingers:
I took a chance
Hope I don't regret it
Broody is happier than a pig in poop

If you keep them all separate from the rest of the flock she can be happy and raise them while in quarantine....

Chicks are quiet as little mice
