Gentlemen, There is no need for rudeness. Honestly opinions on medicated feed are vast and many, and deciding one way or another is up to the individual. I do agree that sourcing matters, and cleanliness is of utmost importance. We keep our brooders full of fresh and dry bedding, changing...

Lazy Gardener - A block? Sorry not clear what you ,meant :) I have had them on medicated feed. It is not something that I normally do, and intend to switch everyone once I decide if I am going to mix my own or find an organic feed I like and can afford. But right now I am trying to make the...

Super helpful!!! Could this be applied with any type of heating pad?

So, since this post, I've moved Dougal back inside (he is the cuckoo maran I had left) and have had him back inside in our downstairs guest bathroom which has it's own heater. I've switched his feed and only run the heater in the bathroom at night when it cools down. He is as happy as can be...

See, our feed store feeds the idea that they need full time heat lamp and not a lot of room.

I completely understand the concern. Two of our dogs we have now are rescues and we have another at my grandmother's who was as well. They don't leave the family once they come home, but we try to put everyone's best interests into consideration. My son runs me all over the place and we have the...

Well goodness lol. Yes our dog is a part of our family. We tried integrating him with our indoor dogs and they won't have it. He BROKE the entire fencing off the frame with bolts every 6 inches. I'm not sure how else to bolt a fence?? BUT our dog isn't just going to be ditched. Thanks. He will...

Thank you so much. Since I have smaller numbers, I don't have a large brooder set up. I first tried large plastic bins with no lids inside our spare bedroom with heat lamps. The lamp covers those pretty well without much loss of heat from one end to the other. Temperature maintains in the...

Would Marek's not be something in the soil? I have used new housing for each batch of chicks. twice plastic and once metal.

This is my first year raising chicks from young ages, and so far I've not had the greatest success. We started with two lf buff brahmas, and lost one. Got 14 lf light brahmas and lost five, and recently got 3 cuckoo marans and 3 mix straight runs, and I've lost two all of these to illness. I...
