    frost bite on combs

    I just noticed today that a couple of my "chicas" appear to have "freezer burn" on the some of the tips of their combs. We are in Minnesota and a week ago our temps went down to -26f....now I see this. Would putting vaseline on the tips help with the healing? I've never had this happen before...

    Chick poo question & pic

    They are the same chicks. They started laying towards the end of August and have been laying regularly since. I have a try of oyster shell for them...I'll add more to make sure there is enough. Thank you for the reply!

    1-3 eggs a day

    I've just experienced the same thing....I have 7 pullets, 2 EE among other breeds. Most started laying about a month ago. One, my sapphire gem, just started this week. This morning I went out and collected 6 eggs, only 1 blue/green....figured the other EE took the day off. After a couple of...

    Comment by 'Mis pollitos' in article 'Reasons for Tossing Out Your Indoor Brooder and Start Raising Your Chicks Outdoors'

    After reading your article I took my new "chicas" outside (at about 2 weeks)...best thing ever. I live in Minnesota. They were(are) protected with plastic all around & heater in there. I was very concerned the first night as the temp went down to 30. They did great! In the future all my new...

They've not been outside at all. Only have starter food and fresh water. Should I be concerned? Doesn't seem natural to me. Thank...

    Cull? Found mass under roost bar this morning

    This isn't a reply to the subject being discussed, but I don't know how to start a question. I hardboiled some eggs for lunch and cut them in ½...in one I found what appears to be a small stone (see photo, on narrow lined paper) imbedded in the white, had to dig it out!
