So... I got home from work, brought dinner, went to check on my 2 month old bantys who were VERY hungery (don't think daddy fed them), went to check on the week old baby bantys.....
... and saw no baby chicks in the cage! Then they heard me and started to peep, they were hidding behind their water. So I opened the cage and moved the water and there were my last 6 babies
1 dead and the other five standing on top of it. I scooped the last ones up in 1 hand(thats how litle they are) and put them into a box... as I did this 1 kinda fell onto the shavings. So I picked it up closed the box and ran to the house to tend to the little one. It died shortly after...
I cried... Now I am down to 4 and so sad! I made a new brooder for the last 4 and have put them in my bathroom. I don't know how the chick in the cage died it was totally wet, but I had marbles in their water, ALL the shavings in the cage were wet...
I am so mad and so sad!!! I finally got to eat about 30 mins ago after getting home at 6.
Sorry to post a downer but...
... what a bummer! What a way to come home...
