    Does anybody have any fertile hatching eggs? A friend needs two or three for a school project. Don't worry! Any chicks will be safely be home. I will gladly pay for them. East side preferred as the class is in Mesa. Thanks!

    Yes-- I made the straps shorter and the bag smaller intentionally. It's *very* simple to make. There are many "how to's" in the forum and online. Search for "feed bag tote" or the like. If you have a little experience with a sewing machine, it could be done in no time.

    This sounds an awful lot like what my chickees had a few weeks ago. I only gave antibiotics to one and it didn't seem to make much of a difference. It seemed to run it's course through the whole flock with varying degrees of crustiness and sneezing. I didn't lose any, but was worried for a...

    Anybody know of a local source for chicken nipples? ... stop snickering. Chicken WATERING nipples? I know I can buy them online, but hate to spend $7 on shipping for a $2 thing. Shoppers and Higley didn't have them.

    I'll give that a try tomorrow. They have a heat lamp in the coop, but it has a red bulb... I bet white would be better for them. The new polish girls have the night time routine down pat!

    I wish my little fluff bombs would learn to go to bed at night. They start squawking in a group when the sun gets low, then SCATTER when I get close to help them into the coop... I'm getting quite adept at catching flapping chicks!
