    Do You Feed Your Baby Chicks Eggs?

    I always start my chicks with mashed up hard boiled egg several times a day. I put chick food in on their second day, but continue with the egg for at least 2 weeks. Also give vitamin/electrolyte water from the start.

    Bedding for week old chicks.

    Leave them they will be fine. I always put mine on shavings and have not had any issues because of it.

    He has also been seen in the nest box with a hen. Never seen a roo act like this before.

    Broody Rooster?

    Yesterday I saw a hen in the nest box with the rooster laying outside like he was waiting for her. I looked again and she was out of the nest box, and the rooster was in there. He came out when he saw me and there was an egg in the box. Was he wanting to help incubate?

    Slaughter: ladies, what's your favourite method/tool? I'm still figuring mine out, looking for ideas

    You lay the bird on the floor and place the broomstick over the neck area. Then put your feet on the broomstick, and pull the legs straight up. This causes dislocation and death. Works best for me.

    I started out with a meat cleaver, but have since changed to a method I feel is more humane. I do the broomstick method, then put them in the cone and bleed them out.

    When did your cockerels crow?

    I have a Bielefelder roo who started crowing at 3 weeks! Granted it is not perfected, but he is working on it.

    Egg movement...

    I have one viable egg left in incubator and is now at day 15. I saw it moving, so does that mean it will hatch early?

    Low Cost Incubator for a small flock?

    I have a Brinsea Mini Advance. While it only holds 7 eggs, it is totally automated and well worth the money (in my opinion). :)
