    Rain Soaked Chicks

    Here they are drying off. They were soaked and lifeless when I brought them in. I'm pretty much in shock.

    Rain Soaked Chicks

    So far so good. The power came back on and we were able to stick them under the Brinsea. I'm amazed these girls are doing so well.

    Rain Soaked Chicks

    Had a downpour come on quick today. Three week old chicks got soaking wet. They don't seem to be doing well. The power is out due to the storm so I can't blow-dry them or put them under the warmer. We've rubbed them down as best we could. There's about18 of them. Any suggestions?

    Dead Pullet...

    Thanks for all your help! I may never know what happened. But that's alright. I know it happens to us all at done point.

    Dead Pullet...

    They were put together when the chicks were about a month old. They never paid much attention to each other. Of course things could have changed. Might will just have to keep an eye out. Will a hawk kill with no open wounds. And then not take the bird with them?

    Dead Pullet...

    I'm having a horrible chicken day... Had to end the suffering of a meatie first thing this morning. A broken leg that came clean off the bone. Not the first one in the past week, I might add. Then this afternoon I went to check on the hens and one of my three month old hens was dead. I inspected...

    Cornish Cross Problems

    They don't have a roost And I looked for a point of entry for rats or critters. So the blood pooling under the skin must be a break. Then in a day or two the skin opens. That's the only thing I can think. Kind of a bummer because they only got to about six weeks. And they didn't get as big as...

    Cornish Cross Problems

    We've been raising 20 Cornish Cross since the end of March. Never had a problem, never lost any. Till now... The last two weeks every morning when I would go out to turn them loose, one or more would be bleeding. It would usually be from a large gash near the hind-end. But sometimes a few...

    Cornish Cross-Distended Crop

    The crops seem a bit smaller this morning. I might try some fermented feed though. Thanks for all your replies! I may have just needed some reassurance that there wasn't something else going on.

    Cornish Cross-Distended Crop

    I have 20 Cornish Cross at a week old. Quite a few of them have very distended crops. My research tells me it is expected. But some of these seem VERY big. I have a few questions-hopefully someone can help. At a week old is it wise to go to 12 hour feedings rather than a 24 hour all they can eat...

    I feel so alone! Please tell me what I am?

    I'm not sure what breed. I have one just like it. He/She is big! I will be disappointed if mine is a Cornish Cross. I got it from the layer-pullets bin at Tractor Supply. Of course I know that's never reliable.

    Clean Human feet before entering the coop/pen. Is there a natural way?

    I picked up chicks at Ideal today. At the office. They had a can of Lysol to spray your shoes with if you went to the back where chicks are. Just regular Lysol.

    Flock of Chicks, Need Help With Breeds

    I got two of the chipmunk-looking ones at my local Tractor Supply. They were labeled as Sicillian Butterscotch.
