First thing, I turned the eggs in the incubator, they seem to be doing well.
After breakfast I put Smooshy into the Mei Tai, I would never get anything done without it.
We fed and watered big chickens first, here are some pictures of our laying flock. We just added a bunch of new pullets so the mix is quite eclectic, we have Silver, Golden and Blue laced Wyandottes, Ameraucana (Easter Eggers), black Autralorps and some crosses.
Here is one of the Ameraucana roos, he is cool but I don't think we are going to keep him.
These are the new Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, I really like them. The big chickens stay in their pen for the morning to keep them (the bad Ameraucanas mostly) from laying eggs in the barn, I let them out in the afternoon so they get to free range most of the day.
Next we went to the small coop to feed and water the little chicks, they are always happy to get their daily greens and I feel it makes a big difference in their health. The larger Ameraucana is a one eyed bird someone gave to us, she gets to play nanny since the big birds pick on her.
These are some Holland chickens we got in a trade, they are cool but but laying yet and are totally freaked out by people. The roo is supposed to be really mean and aggressive but hasn't acted it yet, they will be transitioned to the big coop soon.
We just finished up painting the little coop, looks nice! especially considering as of this spring it only had three walls.
Joy and Baby Horse waiting for their hay, unfortunately with the drought and paddock stress from having three horses I have had to feed hay much of the summer. They get to go out and graze in the afternoon.

Last thing is feeding and watering bunnies, in the summer they get a large amount of grass and fresh stuff, they always have free choice hay. I feel that is especially important for the Angoras as they can get wool block and die.
