They have that all over the country. They have it in Australia, too. And probably other places I haven't heard about yet.

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.

Your survival % may be good, but you know you are not happy losing any. We all want 100% survival rate. Sorry that you have lost a few.

Out of s total of 146 live birds to loose only 5 total, 1 arrived DOA, the other 4 over a week. So yeah not bad but still

It's a little ridiculous how much I am enjoying these chicks. I did lose 2 so far. Both my spare BLR Wyandottes. I'm already considering getting some more spares. Just in case.....
Here was today's pictures. The girls were in a shoe box with a mason jar of hot water to keep them warm while they waited their turns for pictures. I literally took 30 photos in just over 5 minutes...click click click click, back in the box to get warm.

It's not ridiculous, enjoy them while they're still cute!

Yes, because they don't stay cute for long! They reach the ugly teenage stage real quick.

 

[mermaids]

Agreed. Awkward half-feathered teenagers in no time. Mine are ... 17 days old?
