I hatched an impulse batch of eggs when my hens suddenly got their laying hats on. Shame it only lasted 4 days though! :evil:
Never mind, I set 17 eggs and got 13 chicks so dead chuffed with the rooster.
As my brooder is full of mealworms I had to set up another brooder on the porch, right beside it so from the very first hour in the brooder I have put a large handful of mealworms in with the chicks as it was so handy to reach.
Ewwwwww, chicks tugawarring mealworms is just awful but I have to say, these chicks are some of the liveliest I have ever had. Interesting thing is, they hardly drink any water. :shock:
