Thanks for the help. I got it to drink a little but it was too far gone and passed less than a hour later. It's frustrating I'm trying so hard and this is the second one to die. I literally change the bedding and cleaned the waterers and feeders 2x a day. I have had some with poo stuck to their...
I have 8 1 week old bantam RIR i hatched myself (from shipped eggs). I started with 9, but about 4 days ago one died with no apparent cause. About 2 days ago I mixed then with bantam welsummers I bought from a hatchery. The next day, practically all the RIR (but none of the welsummers) got pasty...
Hello all,
I was super happy that 9/12 shipped eggs hatched. Everyone seemed fine and healthy. No runny poops or pasty butts. They are on medicated feed. It seemed like everyone was eating and drinking although I don't know that for a fact (they all look pretty much the same - they are RIR...
One of the chicks died today. 4 days old, they all seemed to be eating and drinking fine. I clean the brooder 2x per day and no one has loose stool. Not sure what happened. :(

I bought this dog house for$100
Whoops I wasn't finished. 9 of those made it to lockdown and all hatched. 9 chicks for $40 is about $4.50 each, which seems a good price.
I think I don't buy super expensive eggs again. They did give me a$5 credit toward a future purchase. (Slow clap)
I also ordered some chicks. So there are...
I haven't been able to check in this week because I've been teaching a Harry Potter Camp and also cross country started back up. However I had a pretty good week. I had ordered an English Orpington Assortment from My Pet Chicken. $90 for 7 eggs, 2 made it to lockdown, and only one hatched...
