    can you use cat litter for bedding!!

    I just get the cheapest brand of non clumping unscented clay litter(ex. Tidy Cat) I don't know if they ingest it, but if they do I've seen no problems, and after the dust settles, when I first put it in, I've seen no problems there either. My chicks seem healthy and I've had zero leg problems...

    can you use cat litter for bedding!!

    I know that this is an old thread, but I thought I would throw in my 2 cents anyway. I have been using clay litter in my brooder with great success. It really cuts down on odor and clean up and so far no ill effects. I have used it for at least a dozen batches of chicks.

    Don't feel bad. I killed a few before I knew how to deal with them.

    100% hatch rate on shipped eggs!

    First off, I don't consider myself any kind of expert, but I had lousy results with the hova bator too. I don't trust a hygrometer. I have a good candler and I candle my eggs every few days and take a look at the air sac. You want it to increase in size approx 15% over the incubation period...

    BRAND NEW PEACOCK COLOR

    I started weighing mine, and I know that it has saved a few lives!

    HAHAHAHA I FOUND HER NEST!!!!!!

    Keep in mind that while she is sitting she is very susceptible to predators. My neighbor has lost many hens that way. Do you have an incubator? Raising babies yourself does make them friendlier.

    She looks like a black shoulder to me. If she is I assume you would get some bs and some Ib's. I give mine chick starter. They would probably have a better chance of survival if you raise them yourself.

    BRAND NEW PEACOCK COLOR

    I have had to tube feed 3 so far. It seems that some of these little guys just won't eat enough on their own.

    2014 breeding season begins, post your results

    Ok, I have 4, 9 week olds. I think I have one male and 3 girls. What do you think? I couldn't get pics of all of them (it's raining and they are hiding), but the one on the left is the one that I think is male, and the one on the right is one that I think is a female. The other 2 are like...

    They are about 6 weeks. These are my first bs, or at least that's what they said the eggs were. I would love to have some other colors tho, so it's all good. Anyone have any idea what they might be? Just when I think I have it figured out

    I'll try to get pics of mine to show the differences when it stops raining. There are definitely clear differences in feather and beak color if that means anything.

    Comment by 'Cindysid' in item 'Modern Game'

    I have a wonderful little modern game rooster that is best friends with my green peacock. He is very friendly and begs to be picked up when I come into the poultry yard. I have a little hen too, but she is very tiny, and not quite as friendly, but still likes attention.
