I knew I couldn't get tiny babies again because the older chickens would peck them to death attempting to get the pecking order established again. So I ran to Dell's with Logan and asked if they had chicks still that were from our batch.
They had exactly two left... And I got them both. We are naming them Bessy 2 and Betty.
I also bought a 1x1inch hog fence metal top for the brooder box. Not chickens out, no cats in.
Lets just hope that they can last another 5 wks until they can be outside. Then I think they will be fine... but until they are too big for the cats to prey on.........
So sorry to hear this. Hope Logan takes it ok.
ReplyDeleteOh Val,
