The chickens are almost a month old, they have a wonderful appetite and are all healthy.  the infested worms are not visible, but I think that everything is ok with them too.  There is absolutely no ammonia smell, it is now warm and the room is well ventilated.

The difference between an experiment and a mistake is writing everything down.

The new chicks are adorable!
The older chickens look happy in their new run and coop. What a wonderful set-up! I'm so happy that everything is working out, as it should. You've been doing a lot of work and it shows.


I like your expression regarding documentation, it’s really important, I use mindmaps for planning, it allows me to see the whole picture and avoid procrastination, I record expenses in the financial application (and income, I placed an ad on the market place and have already sold two roosters and three hens and received a request  for hatching maran eggs) also started tik tok https://www.tiktok.com/@user3084208758816?_t=8m3jDz0tdSv&_r=1
It’s really important to look at the work done after some time, then you see the situation as an observer without unnecessary emotions and can draw conclusions and make the next decision

all the chickens are in the chicken coop outside.  therefore, it's time to disassemble the brooder.  A pit for humus is dug, branches are placed at the bottom of the pit, and the contents of the brooder are moved and covered with earth.  Tomorrow I will plant corn and watermelons there.  Some of the chickens from the first batch were sold to buy feed for the rest.  The rest of me feel good, the experiment is over)

The heat began, and there was a power outage, but the chickens are no longer afraid of this, I lined the chicken coop with oak and made a shelter from the heat for the chickens, they like to be in the second pen where the apple tree is located, but we have to wait until the grass they pecked out grows.  All the chickens are feeling fine and no one is getting sick.  There was a ferret attack that strangled two chickens, I had to lock the dog in a pen overnight, just in case I made a trap and bought a trap, but so far everything is ok.  The chickens haven't started laying eggs yet.
