Kitchen Garden Chickadees

Kitchen Garden Chickadees At the height of the Covid-19 lockdown we acquired three Buff Orpingtons as pets. A pack of raccoons killed them on Nov. 13, 2021.

We replaced them with 6 chicks. We're newbies still learning how to care for backyard chickens as we go along.

Look how big they are now

Uh-oh, Hershey might be a cockrel. After a week the three chicks are showing tail feathers, and middle feathers on their wings. But not Hershey, and his wing feathers are of the same length.

Once I got the hang of sprouting hard red wheat berries the chickies have been enjoying this protein rich treat almost every week. Check my other reels on how to grow these. Antoinette Go Brian Vaughn #chickenlife #chickenmom #backyardchickens #wheatsprouts #hardredwinterwheat #chickenfeeds

Somehow the 4 pullets got out, then the bantam Easter egger, followed by the RIR who flew over the fence (or maybe it was Pumpkin, the bantam who used to roost on trees) #backyardchickens #chickenlife #chickenmom

So happy and relieved to find them all okay after we were gone for a week for spring break. Oh my, look how they've grown. We brought them outside for some fresh air and sunshine. #chickenlife #backyardchickens #chickenmom #pulletsandcockrels

Classical music makes chicks smarter 😁 and helps chickens relax and lay more eggs. YouTube has some playlists of music for chickens. #backyardchickens #chickenlife #chickenmom #chickenmusic

How do you keep chicks entertained? Well, I noticed they stop moving whenever they hear music so I got Alexa to play relaxing classical music all night. I tossed some cilantro for them to peck at. Then we added a perch, too. They also like to swing on the feeder. #chickenlife #backyardchickens #babychicks #broodertoys #chocolateorpingtons #bluelacedwyandottes #wyandottechicks #chickenmom #orpingtonchicks

We just got this last Friday #toolshedcoop #backyardchickencoops #backyardchickens #chickenlife #ChickenCoopDoor #chickencoopdoorfail

Our wood chicken coop is too cramped for 4 grown hens. So he's converting a 4x6 resin toolshed into a chicken coop with an automatic door and solar powered fans. #chickenlife #backyardchickens Kitchen Garden Chickadees Brian Vaughn
