What cute little chicks! I'm currently raising 19 myself :)
Doesn't it seem like every time you turn around they grow another feather? XD they grow so fast!
|

|
|
AtN- 19!!??? WOW! That's a lot of chicken poop!
I swear every time I look at them something is different!!
|
|
|
|
|
It is... so much poop...
They're in a 4 by 4 ft indoor pen at the moment though, so it's spread out enough to keep it under control XD
And that's not even it, we're going to get 6 more at least. Anywhere from 25 to 50 total, we haven't decided yet.

AtN- So many chickens O_O
HOW DO YOU CLEAN THE PEN!!!???
that's insane!! I have trouble cleaning out the kittie pool that ours are in xD
I give you mad props!!

Every day I move the chicks into a very large cardboard box and I take at least half of the bedding out of their pen, or more if they made a mess. I've found that's the easiest way to clean XD
I have the pen split up with dividers so there's two distinct areas connected by an opening (in case I have to separate the chicks, because 10 of them are older - close to 3 weeks - and 9 of them are only a week and a half old), and I have two 2 ft feeders and 2 1 gallon (approx.) waterers, so once the fresh bedding is in I take out 1 waterer and 1 feeder at a time and clean and refill those, so they still have access to water and feed while I clean. I keep wood in there for them to roost on and such, and if it gets really gross I usually just replace it with a new piece.
The trick is to just clean often so it doesn't pile up XD
|
|
|
|
|
AtN- Man that's a long process xD
The chicks are worth it though!!
I clean every 2-3 days.. So it's not too bad for me!
|
|
|
|
|
It is, but I like to keep their pen clean enough that I'd eat out of it XD
They are worth it! Raising chicks has been a very fun experience :3
