We have so much washout damage its not funny. Our whole 2.5 acres is just a mess. Trees down, fences down and washed out. Please no more ****** rain. My ducks however loved it.
No, but our area flooded pretty badly. We have tons of washout damage and trees down. We think they died of drowning or heart attacks from all the noise. We tried keeping heat lamps going but kept loosing power. This sucks
So we've lost more than half our chicks, including all our turkeys and all our broilers and all buff orphingtons. We've had terrible storms here in Texas. I'm so sad and disappointed.
On a good note, we had the state come in and test the now remaining birds, a bunch of teenaged chicks that we hatched from our now dead flocks eggs. We passed and are now certified disease free.
I'm numb at this point. This so sucks, trying now to price replacements. My 8yo Black Australorpe and a spazzy white and buff orphington cross are the only adults to survive and I'm not sure the older one will make it. I have 6 juvie chicks left, 2 injured pretty badly. We have them in small...
Yeah I know, I'm a dork
I just lost my whole flock. All but 1 adult hen and 4 youngins. 33 total birds including my beautiful drake and largest hen of my Pekin ducks. I'm so lost and upset it's not even funny.
One brooder at a time, letting them outside in a pen to sun and dust bathe. So far only the turkeys have figured out the dust bath lolol everyone else does it in the grass
We use regular red heat lamp bulbs we get at TSC. We using large shavings for now, but I plan on getting some stall pellets to try. Heard they work so much better, kinda like clumping cat litter only made from pine. Since I put some ACV into the waterers Pasty Butt has gotten way way better. We...
Lost another EE chick to pasty butt, and it was bad. Will be cleaning butts and putting vasaline on vents today. Not going to loose anymore. My survival % is still really really good, can't and shouldn't complain. But still.
Soo many choices on what they could be LOL Thanks for the info everyone. As they grow I'll keep you all informed. So far the new babies are all doing well. Have a heat lamp on them, plenty of food and water. Should be happy lil rug rats.
