    Newly hatched chicks dying

    A dimmable dial, what a BRIGHT idea! I use big fluffy Christmas stockings (not the thin felt ones) as a comforter for the chicks. Of course I sew the top so no one gets inside. Machine washable, too!

    Newly hatched chicks dying

    Forgot to add that I use the Nutri-Drench also. And I meant it's a tiring job for the chicks while pipping and zipping. However, if you have dozens of beaks to dip, that could get tiring too. Especially for prairie chicks lol

    Newly hatched chicks dying

    Sorry, I don't believe in the "survival of the fittest" thing, normally. With chicks dying shortly after hatching and being chilled is usually human error, not natures.

    Chickens have runny poop and are barfing... help!

    Are you Eastern time? 11pm is quite late for a hen to lay. Maybe she is trying to roost in the nest? I always keep Nutri-Drench on hand but I give all of my chickens, newly hatched and elders, 3X weekly Durvet Vitamins and Electrolytes for poultry in this TN summer heat. 1 tiny scoop (included)...

    Hello From Tennessee

    Howdy from E. Tn! How old are your hens/pullets? From experience, the black and red sexlinks tend to start laying earlier than other "breeds". Mine started around 20 weeks.
