Well, unfortunately only 6 of the baby chicks are still alive today.
As soon as the chicks turned 3 weeks old we had a little incident that resulted in a Chicky massacre.
Kaleb accidentally left the gate open to the back and my wimeraner Ave (Bird Dog) got out and into the coop that was supposed to be coyote proof.
Needless to say 11 baby chicks were killed.
Kaleb luckily didn't see inside the coop to see the damage and for that i am grateful. He did / does feel horrible that it was his fault. But I just kept telling him it's okay and at least now we know dad has work to do to make it predator proof.
So with all of this we went out looking or new chicks. Luckily, a couple Matt plays ball with on Monday nights had some 6 week old they wanted to get rid of. So we picked those 8 up and a 8 more three day old the that weekend..
We are a full chicken coop again and everything is working out well for them. Kaleb has a new favorite and all is good.
