    Baby Chick Brooder Ideas?

    I also use a big plastic storage bin, I use the ones with a locking lid, cut out most of the lid and fill with wire mesh held by a wooden frame. this keeps the chicks safe from our cats. I also attached a small upright too the frame too hold the lamp. I have found this works very well. .

    Chicken bleeding - feather picking

    I have never used Neosporin on my chickens but I have used it on my hawks and falcons for decades, it works very well. there is a new spray type neosporin which I like better for using on birds as the ointment style can muck up the feathers

    she is in the coop but she won't go up to the roost to snuggle with the rest of the flock to keep warm until we come out. we have checked different times of night, right after sunset and after midnight. she wont go up even if she is shivering we are guessing there must be some kind of...
