Title: Baby chicks - mee tooo
Post by: OliveOil on July 08, 2007, 22:02:28
I acquired 4 7 week old brahmas today... not tiny things but soooo sweet - 2 boys and 2 girls we reckon.

Not sure if we will keep the boys at the moment - they might have to go to market!

Also my Cochin is broody at the moment - i was sure the cockeral was useless so was throwing the eggs out and arrghhh, killed a babyl... so let beattie have the rest of her eggs back.  Knowing my luck i will be overrun shortly with babies!
