    110 degrees today, has anyone lost any chickens in this heat??

    107 real temp, 110 heat index (that's hotter than this smiley) We lost our Black-tail Buff Japanese Bantam the 17th after we got and hooked up misters (it was too late for her). We run the misters in the shadiest area of the coop/run with box fans behind them to move the moist air into the...

    Silkie chick's feet look wrong... Pics

    Thank you all for your great suggestions, but climbing in the water dish cooled it's body temp to low for it to survive. I'm also wondering if it didn't have other deformities than just the feet. It passed away last evening. @kelar, I've explained this before. The friend I get my eggs from...

    This little chick is a big goof. I opened up the coop at 9 and it was in the water dish, soaking wet. I brought it in the house and put it in the bator to warm/dry then back out to it's cage again. It has both booties off, I guess it figured it could just soak the bootie off.

    Quote: It kept the left 1 on overnight, I think it was just uncomfortable the way dad had finally got it on. I was holding it and dad was trying, but his patients level is so low. It can still walk, actually much better with just the 1 on. I just wish I could get it to keep the right claw 1 on.

    I just closed the coop up for the night and the silly little chick figured how to get 1 off. I'll have to put it back on in the morning.

    I did the best I could with it's little feetys. I hope it'll work, I have extra cardboard and band-aids. We got it to walk around before I took it to the hospital tote.

    Quote: The friend I get my eggs from doesn't have cochin chickens. I have 2 cochins and they lay light-medium brown eggs. It came from a small off-white egg that we selected from her black silkie and her partridge silkie. It's either black or black-partridge . It has grey-black feathered...

    Our 2 day old silkie chick's feet are bent funny. Could it be from the way it was sitting in the egg? Is there any thing I can do to help straighten them? It walks around ok, but It's such a cute chicky I'd like to try to help it. You can see how they are bent in this pic Here's the best...

    Ideal Hatchery

    Didn't order ducks, but wouldn't order from them again. We were new at chicks and had 2 different chick orders messed up. We even went to pick up the chicks cause I didn't trust that they'd make it alive thru the mail. The 2nd time we got a strange chick for a silkie and tho they refunded the...

    Incubating troubles

    I have the LG StilAir and haven't made any adjustments to it. I'm getting better than 50% hatches as long as the eggs are fertile. I'm helping a friend restock her RIR's at the moment and all the fertile eggs have hatched and chicks doing great. I do have some Japanese Sultans that I've...
