I decided to re home our six black star hens and keep the ten new pullets. When we got the chicks, I read that you can lose forty to fifty percent due toe the fact that they are so delicate. I bought more than I needed to compensate for the possible losses. They ALL survived. I am glad they did. I was dreading finding and dead babies. Now that they are 9 weeks old it is time to get them out to the coop. Alyce Dobbins, the founder of UCAN ( urban chicken advocates of Nashville) is helping me find a family that would like to take them. Re homing the girls will mean not having to modify our existing coop ( which I love).
As a result of moving the pullets out to the coop, I will be able to move my potters wheel back into use. I am committed to getting back on the wheel and getting better at my art. We'll see!
