This should get you in the mood for today's post…
…boy wasn't David Cassidy cute?
We got our two day old Chukar Partridges today, the PO called right around 9am and we went and got them. The lady was sad to see/hear them go.
Introducing "The Chuk-lets" appearing…in the barn…ha!
Our first introduction to them. They cheeped all the way home. I put a little video on Facebook on the drive.
Taking off the lid… geesh they were crammed in there. 52 of them…but 2 didn't make it. So sad. Jeff said probably more will die too, it just happens.
Here is Jeff putting them in the brooder, they liked getting out of that box and stretching their long legs. I told Jeff they reminded me of that bad robot on Robocop.
So I go out to see them once in a while, and the temperature has to stay around 95, Jeff says I stress them out by looking at them as they think I am a predator. They will be in the brooder about 6-8 weeks, and he has two brooders so once they get a bit bigger he will split them in half.
I took a little video so you can hear and see how cute they are.
Well I better git off here…I got some chukars to chuk on…ha!
Cheep cheep – you crack me up!
Luv ya
Jax
Happy Mothers Day!!!!!!
Congratulations on the new additions to your family!
Will and I both loved this post! Hope the babies are doing well! Have you ever seen the show "American Diggers". Just watched one yesterday that was filmed in Tombstone, AZ! I said to Will, that is where Diana is from!
Love the sound and I will look forward to updates on their progress.
They are so cute. We raised chickens, geese and a few exotic birds. I miss them but not all the work at my age now. I'd rather make cards.
What, exactly, does one DO with all those chuckars?
I LOVE reading all of your fun posts!
How darling. Roscoe would have a field day with them. DH has talked about getting some Guineas (a type of chicken or something) so we wouldn't have ticks around here. I just think they would be a tasty snack for Roscoe.
Carey and the drooling Roscoe
Oh my! They are SO cute!
How cute! I am so sorry about the 2. Ok mama Jeff is right, no touchy but I can understand how you would like to cuddle them.
OMG!!! I thought the new catalogs were here. LOL The chicks are cute. I hope they all make it. Both my dogs ran to the door when they heard them chirping. Silly dogs!!!
