A Big Surprise

Lsat night we decided to try to leave the chicks in a cage outside and lock them up  at night, I told my mom that I didn’t think it was a good idea, but no she didn’t listen. When we woke up this morning we saw that the gate to the cage was open,( it wouldn’t lock so we just put a wooden board it front of the door to keep it closed) and the door to the hutch part was open, (we had locked it that night) shavings were on the ground, and no chicks. We tried to find them even if they were dead, no luck. We went back to the cage and noticed paw prints of a dog on the board that was keeping the door closed. So now we are trying to find the dog that did it, which will be hard knowing that almost everyone in our neighborhood has a dog.

Growing Chicks

So we thought that we would have egg chickens, but they aren’t. They are fat, fat meat chicks, they love to eat and be outside. Oh well beggars can’t be choosers.

We found out that even though they are meat chicks they still lay eggs so thats good. But we think that there are some roosters.
