Using What You Have Bale of Straw Lying Around

I bought this bale of straw way back when I first got the chicks. The guy who was taking care of the babies at first didn't want to use that much straw. It set in one of our empty rentals...Until we had a torrential downpour and I needed something to dry my chicks in the new barn.

That is why we keep damn near everything we buy. Never know when it will become useful.

Hi. This is Chris, of Chickens For Chicks. This is where my babies are, and I would love for you to come on along with me on my journey in homesteading and learning about my chickens and doing all that fun stuff.

I am feeding my baby's eggs, one because it's rainy and nasty. And I wanted to give them some herbs, but also because I bought this straw way back when I first got these babies and the guy who was taking care of them didn't want it didn't want it.

But I came out here and you can see everybody soaking wet. They're soaking wet. I don't want to lose any of my babies. So I threw hay in here or a straw and I may throw some more to get them dry. That is another case of using what you had. I had this straw sitting in, I had a whole bale of it.

In fact, I was in trouble with my husband because I put the damn thing in the back of my truck. But. And you see that little splash Rooster right there and that little splash rooster right there. They're learning to crow. Come and get some. Come on, babies. Come and get some. But you can look at Dropkick, Powder. Where's Dina? Dina Butt

They look like drowned rats. I think they've been out here in the rain this whole time. But even Babe and them, look. Look at their crests. It's horrible. They act like I kill them when I do stuff like this. But then you look at them. Oh, it's warm. Oh, it's warm. Because, I mean, Arkansas did one of its crazy assed things and the weather just changed.

We had to turn all of our air conditioner down or on a hot economy because the house was so fricking cold this morning. I was grabbing the blanket from my husband. We keep on the couch, but as you can see, they are slowly forgiving me. I hate havening to traumatize them, but damn. So it's official. I have two splash co--.

Hey, hey, hey. Leave her alive. Sorry, that hen was grabbing one of my black babies. Anyways, I have to splash roos, I have a blue polish roo, I have a blue polish roo. And then in here I have a Mottled Houdan rooster and a splash polish rooster. And the rest of them are girls. So I got kind of lucky.

The only problem is my Houdan. I can't find any girls for him. I'm going to have to probably wait till next year. My husband and I are planning. I really want to keep him. I might end up haveing to make a damn bachelor's pad. Although these guys pretty much had their pecking order taken care of and the head pecker is Jenny, which I think Jenny is a Jack.

So anyways, lesson of the day, bribery works most of the time, and sometimes you have to scare them to do what's right for them. Oh, and I replace the girls with hay because they do not like those pads at all. Don't like it. All right.
