Hi Guys it's Elissa at Moat Cottage and welcome to our small space homesteading Channel. If you're
part of the Moat Cottage community, you'll know that three months ago we hatched out some chicks,
in this time we enjoyed the hottest Summer on recorded history, with most of the temperatures
between thirty seven degrees Celsius and forty six degrees Celsius that's 98 Fahrenheit to 116
Fahrenheit. The hot spell started when the chicks were being incubated and it just continued on
throughout their three months, so I had that cage in the cooler spot under this beautiful big tree,
this was the coolest place on the property, even cooler than being in the house,
so I spent plenty of time watching the chicks grow for the last three months. This video is
their journey from newly hatched to three months old and you'll notice that Mama hen
goes through a quick moult in this time too, which I can't blame her with temperatures like that.
So we got four Cockrels could you believe it? We didn't even
get one female after all of that and we're not allowed have roosters here,
so they had to go off to auction and they've been sent off to their new forever homes. If
you have any questions or comments leave them below thanks for watching I'll see you next time
