    Day old chick with leg issue

    Well all is good in the brooder. All chicks are growing and active. Guinea keets in the brooder to the right are almost the same hatch day and are doing quite well. Just a bit more timid, but in the last few days have started to chill out a bit when I reach in to feed and water. Keeping them...

    Skittish Guinea Keets

    Thanks I just picked up 8 pearls and they too are very skittish. They are barely a week though so hopefully mine will chill out.

    Day old chick with leg issue

    On closer inspection I found that somehow the yolk sac was/is still attached and that its leg was tangled in it. The portion around the leg was dried up so I carefully snipped it to free the leg. Instant improvement, it is up and moving much better.

    Just recieved 10 chicks today, all seem healthy and happy except one whose right leg doesnt seem to be working right. I have them on paper towels that are over top pine shavings for the first few days to keep them from trying to eat shavings. It is trying to get around but seems to be breathing...

    custom 8X12 coop

    Just putting the finishing touches on a 8X12 coop that I have put together. The bottom plates are pressure treated as they are sitting directly on the ground. The ground is hard clay which is very hard digging so I am not to concerned about predators digging under. Just in case I leveled solid...
