Frick & Frack – Possible Americanas?
Possible Americanas? We picked up a variety of chicks in our flock of 8 the third time we did a chicken run to Rural King. Not sure of all the varieties, as they get older they look very much like the Americana’s on Hoover’s Website. Thoughts? Our Americana will give…
when can my chicks move outside?
As the chicks get bigger, that means bigger messes! They definitely need their space to explore the world, seek out food, and have some quiet/alone time! Here are the minimum temperatures per week in degrees °Fahrenheit that the chicks need!
Starlight Green Eggers
We’ve got Big Bird, Melvin and Marvin in this group. We also added Frick and Frack, but I have some theories about those two (grey bodies/hints of brown). We’ll see what they look like next!
Asian Black Chickens
We have some fun personalities in this group! We have a snow white, all black with white tips on the wings. One with only one white tip (still to be named) and one with no white at all – which would be the infamous KayKay!

It was Friday…
That is how most of our most #epicstories begin. It’s February here in Michigan. We’re enjoying raising our flock of chicks, our pack of Golden Retrievers, and our School(s) of Koi. So of course, off to Rural King for supplies…and maybe, just maybe we’ll peek at the chicks. Just kidding,…
When can my chicks go outside?
We are anxiously awaiting warmer weather and slightly older chicks so we can get them out of the house and into their coop (which we don’t have yet) as it is being built. As it happens, we have very talented friends…so our #luckycluckers will live in a #bluecastle fit for…
