    They are all the same age, but I'm wondering if the feathering is so slow because it has been so unseasonably warm. Is that possible? And amazingly the barely feathered frizzle #4 is close to being fully feathered now. Not sure why it happened in such a quick burst. I'd been wondering if...

    Make sure they are handled daily and (if you can) set up your brooder so that you are reaching in at eye/ground level rather than from above. When we reach into a brooder from above it simulates the way in which a predator (hawk) might swoop down on them. I've found that since I made my...
