Cat Got a Chick? Keeping Your Feathered Friends Safe From Paws
Oh, the fowl play has escalated to a full-blown mystery. One of our community's hens hatched three chicks, and they were growing beautifully, until the cat got suspiciously heavy and a chick went missing. Finding two little legs out by the horses? That's a scene straight out of a nightmare, and I feel for you. I'm betting the cat is the culprit, not the horses, but either way, your feathered friends need a fortress. You'll want a secure, cat-proof brooder or coop with a lid, those paws are clever. If you enjoyed our piece on "Six fluffy chicks have hatched, egg-cellent news from our feathered friends!", you know how precious these tiny lives are. Keep them separated until they're big enough to defend themselves.
Is Tiny Biscuit a Runt, or Should We Cluck About It?
Biscuit weighs 36 grams while Cornbread tips the scale at 87, that's not just a little gap, that's a full-on fowl divide. And honestly? It's enough to make anyone cluck with concern. But here's the thing: Biscuit is eating, drinking, and zipping around like she owns the brooder. She's not acting sick, which makes this less about panic and more about patience. I've seen this dance before in the backyard poultry world, and sometimes the tiniest peep is just built different. Chickens Got Her Good! A Backyard Poultry Adventure taught us that these birds can surprise you. So, is she a runt or just a late bloomer? The scale says one thing, but her spirit says another.
Biscuit's tiny, mighty, and proving big things come in small clucks! 🐥❤️
Biscuit is the tiny terror of the brooder, and I am absolutely here for it. At two weeks old, he's rocking that classic Silkie runt energy: noticeably smaller than his fluffball siblings, but clearly running the show on pure spite and snack motivation. The fact that he's eating, drinking, and bouncing around like a caffeinated popcorn kernel? That's the good stuff. I love that you're celebrating his little streak instead of worrying over it. Runt chickens are a whole mood, and honestly, they often end up with the biggest personalities. Whether he catches up or stays permanently pocket-sized, Biscuit is proof that good things come in small, very dramatic packages. For anyone who's ever nursed a tiny chick, this hits right in the feels.
