One of my babies can hardly stand. Not opening her eyes at all. Gave electrolytes. What now?

I'm having a hard time getting the temp in my brooder to be consistent throughout. Under the lamp temps are 110+ but if I move the thermometer about 6 inches to the right/left temps are 85-87. I way thinking about making a cardboard lid for 1/2 of the box. But I'm wondering of maybe the brooder...

My first set of girls are coming in next week and I amso nervous about somehow forgetting something important about caring for them. my husband told me that I should just relax. So in an effort to do just that, any advice for a newb that you wish you would have known about with your first flock?

I'm just starting my first flock and have decided on the breeds I would like to try. I was planning on getting 12 but it looks like I'm going to end up with 14 chickens total. Right now I'm planning on getting: 2 Australorps 3 GL Wyandottes 3 Easter Eggers 2 Speckled Sussex 4 Black Silkie...

thank you both so much for the information!

So I'm new to the world of chicken raising, and am kind of still just gathering information at this point! We are moving soon and once we get settled into our new place I plan on getting a flock! I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping more experienced chicken moms can help me with. 1. I...

Morning everyone! I was wondering if anyone here could share opinions on Shady Grove Ranch? They are located in Texas but do deliveries to Shreveport. We were thinking about buying a cow from them but wanted to look around first. I've also been looking at coops (I'm totally incompetent with...

Thank you so much! I was thinking the same thing, but wanted opinions to make sure I wasn't just reading what I wanted it to say. Lol.

We will be living on the outskirts of Zachary, so we will also fall in the Baton Rouge codes. It seems a little silly that they would restrict us to three on such a large amount of land.

Jeff, I mean Louisiana. I know my location says San Diego but we will be moving home soon to Southern Louisiana
