    I Absolutely Can't Wait!

    Congrats! Where'd you order them from? Are these your first-ever chicks?

    Well, I am 99% certain it's NOT "oh cr*p," just FYI. Don't want you getting into trouble later. ;)

    Is Cocci possible at 6 days old? Lost our first chick.

    @EggSighted4Life - Since you like hearing little peeps, here is a short video from about 2 hours after the chicks arrived home. The RIR that passed is the lighter colored one at about the 8 o'clock position in the video that runs up and gets water in the last second. She was pretty spritely...

    1) Direct link to store in case you can't view it in the site menu: https://www.coopedup.net/buy/ However, if it was just a member saying he "might market it," you'd probably have to find that specific member again and see if he's making them for sale. I doubt they're available in the above...

    If your resolution isn't high enough (like on a computer monitor or a tablet), some of those links disappear into the Menu button with the three stacked horizontal lines. However, I've noticed that the "Store" button does NOT get recreated in the Menu section. So if your resolution isn't high...

    Is Cocci possible at 6 days old? Lost our first chick.

    My wife has checked them daily for pasty butt (and cleaned a couple so far), so I'm betting it was probably just the genetics and/or stress. Like I said, this one was the one that seemed the least energetic from the start. We did notice its crop felt a little squishy compared to the others this...

    Is Cocci possible at 6 days old? Lost our first chick.

    EggSighted just answered a couple of my questions while I was posting them, and I probably answered a couple of yours back to me in the process, as well. :) Distilled wasn't too try and protect them from anything in the regulator tap water. Just needed a gallon jug to mix the Sav-A-Chick in and...

    Is Cocci possible at 6 days old? Lost our first chick.

    Hi Wyorp, Thanks for the response. I wish I'd started her on Amprol last night, but I figured with having medicated chick feed from the start and thinking cocci had a longer incubation period, it might be over-treating her for a problem she might not even have. I didn't clean the pine litter...

    Is Cocci possible at 6 days old? Lost our first chick.

    Hey guys, Just lost our first chick. We got in 11 chicks last Friday @ 8 a.m. that shipped on Wednesday night, so I'm figuring they hatched on Tuesday, putting them at 6 days old today. Been giving them distilled water with Sav-A-Chick electrolytes and probiotics packs we ordered with them...

    That makes a lot of sense. Don't want to ruffle the feathers ... nyuk nyuk. Did you guys ever use YaBB or SMF for any of those?

    Did I buy the wrong starter feed?

    You never know, Debid ... it's a small world out there! But probably not. They didn't ask me anything, actually; I just started blabbing. :D I ordered this little kit with our chicks that includes a couple of "Sav-A-Chick" packets: http://chickensforbackyards.com/Kick-Start-Health-Pack-MV21.htm...

    Did I buy the wrong starter feed?

    I saw that when researching BMD after I got home and thought, gee, that doesn't sound right at all! Thanks for all the input, everyone! And debid, I'm in Middle TN myself! Howdy, neighbor! :frow

    Announcement Welcome To The New BYC!

    My programming days are long behind me. I used to do a lot of web and CGI programming back in the early 2000s. A lot of Perl, PHP, and SQL. But marriage, a career change, babies, more babies, getting older, EVEN MORE BABIES, and so on, and it all just kinda faded away. Now I've finally caved and...

    Thanks! Most people just misread it and think I like pearls. Haha.

    Just curious, what software is the forum running now? A lot of the emoticons remind me of the ones we used back in my YaBB days.
