Annual 24/7 live web broadcast w/sound, of baby chicks hatching Easter weekend + the next 8 weeks! Watch the flock Saturdays.

There be chicks here!
This is NOT THE HATCH--these are chicks we got at the feed store, I thought y'all might enjoy watching them.
No names yet, so we'll need name suggestions! #Chickam

IT HAS BEGUN!
Fifteen #Chickam eggs went into the new Vevor incubator today! I'll candle in 10 days to see how many embryos we have and remove any duds. Hatch day *should* be Saturday, May 31st.
When the first egg pips we'll start our YouTube webcast here: https://t.co/VvAVy3q6Ar

*This doesn't take long, admittedly.

@SuzytheSilkie I didn't even see the second one until she turned and looked, like 'Ya wanna get this hen off my ass?' 😁

[Chickam2008 @chickam2008]

@SuzytheSilkie I'm so very sorry, this is heartbreaking. Maeve was a lovely girl and I'm sure a great companion.
Hang in there. ♥️

I've transitioned everything over to where the sky is blue 🔵and will shortly mothball my Twitter. May post the odd update here, but that's all.
Same username/avatar over there, come find #Chickam! 🙂

[Chickam2008 @chickam2008]

...aaaand our weather isn't cooperating. We've got a storm moving that's supposed to dump snow on us tomorrow, I think it's getting a head start. 🫤

[Chickam2008 @chickam2008]

Weather permitting, we may run the cam again tomorrow!

VERY windy here today, and most of the flock is molting...so they look kinda awful. 🫤

[Chickam2008 @chickam2008]

Expect some initial reluctance, but it is FOOD after all, and chickens can only resist that for so long...😁

[Chickam2008 @chickam2008]

Getting #Chickam set up!🐔🎃
In about 20 minutes or so, we're giving the flock a pumpkin...with a webcam inside it!
Watch here when the live feed begins:

[Chickam2008 @chickam2008]

Apologies, today didn't work out, so TOMORROW!
Sunday, October 27th we'll run the cam! #Chickam

[Chickam2008 @chickam2008]

Weather willing, we'll run #Chickam on the flock this Saturday, October 26th!
The camera will be inside a pumpkin, so tune in to see what it's like to be a pumpkin being eaten by chickens*! 😃
Watch here Saturday morning around 9AM PST:

@SuzytheSilkie Love it when boys do this to sell a hen on THE greatest nest. 😁 #LookWhatIFoundForYou

[Chickam2008 @chickam2008]

I'm hoping she'll eventually get strong enough to go out into the flock...but she may be a forever house chicken. Thanks again to everyone for all of your support! You guys always make Chickam so fun that it's well worth it.🥰

[Chickam2008 @chickam2008]

Welp...It's time to end Chickam.Mammon is as big as he is gonna get, and is being a constant sex pest for Blazikin--climbing on her and then just standing there while she struggles and yells,we're having to pick him off her constantly.

[Chickam2008 @chickam2008]

So tonight as it's getting dark, after a severe wing trimming off into the coop he'll go. Blazi, however, still can't go out into the yard. So we'll break down the brooder box and put her in a large birdcage lined with hay that we can set on the floor.

#Chickam chicks at 2 months old!
