This week’s Flock Focus Friday is heavy on fluffy cuteness as we hatched the eggs from P. Allen Smith’s flock and welcomed the chicks into ours!

Spring brings ushers in change and new flock members as we say goodbye to Spartacus.
Spartacus was a Serama x Red Sex Link rooster.

The circle of life played out in the backyard this week and while we welcomed new flock members, we said goodbye to Spartacus who crossed the rainbow bridge. RIP pretty boy.

subscribed already! Comment: I just can't get enough of your chicken Rachel!! I think you should do an article just about her and her story. How she came to be at your coop. Everyone would love it!! And we of course, would love the Avian Aqua Miser. Pick us!!

My chicks just hatched, first one was late sat night, 4 Sunday and two today. So far they are all great walking around in a confined area from the rest of the flock. I have 2 questions if you can please help me with the first one is how long should I let the other eggs sit in there before I give up on them hatching? And the second question is how long should I keep mama and baby chicks away from the other chickens? Please and thank you :-)
