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!

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.

This amazing rainbow appeared across the street from our house this week after a quick rain storm passed through.
The littlest Chicken Chick helps collect eggs as Kate, the ever opportunistic Speckled Sussex, loiters nearby in case of a dropped egg.

Welcome little ones!

Thanks for visiting and have a great week!

OK. I know they are pretty dark inside at this time, so do I look for movement? And when is it ok to let her and the little ones roam together? Thanks so much?

It doesn't sound good for him. Some chicks have a rough hatch, bad genetics and/or a rough trip in the mail. The only thing you can do is try to help hydrate it. The rest is up to him. :(
