It's been 24 hours and our chicks are still alive! They are so precious, still very lively and doing great. Here's some 2 day old pics from their photo shoot. We've named one brown one Coconut and a black one Rosemary. They've all lost their egg tooths and none are suffering from pasty butt. One caught a moth yesterday and they were all chasing her around to eat it. That's pretty healthy!
I also harvested over 14 pounds of potatoes yesterday, and got more from Marty to plant another succession. Haven't eaten any yet, but they sure look good. We found many grubs in the dirt and threw them to the waiting chickens. Soon they hopped up and started pecking them right out of Youngest's hand!
The big chickens are doing well. Still deciding if this one's a roo or a hen.
Nugget had his first attempt at a crow tonight. We were putting them back in the coop and he was the first one in, as I was wrangling the other ones we heard a weak crow from the coop. Everyone stopped and looked at each other. He's so handsome, I'm sure he'll find his voice soon.
