    4-5 day old kitten *PICS

    That's a great idea! But, if you do go to the shelter, be prepared to have the new kitty bring home a cold. Take them both to the vet within a week of bringing the new baby home. Both my current rescue kitties came home with colds (which meant 2 trips to the vet, since I adopted them at...

    4-5 day old kitten *PICS

    Having raised bottle babies before, I can tell you that you've got a lot of work ahead of you. Call your local vet, they almost always have kitten formula. As for signs of happiness, if she poops when you wipe her tummy with a warm wet rag, and she's vocal if you're late with the feeding, you're...

    Just kidding. It's pouring rain, so I can't use power tools, so I can't finish securing the coop. Guess they're inside for another day. :/

    sexing 4 week old chicks (pic heavy)

    We have a detached laundry room where they're staying, but this is the LAST time I brood inside the house. I am currently dividing the shed into 2 parts, so next time I have chicks, they'll be brooded in the coop. Thanks for the advice! They spend some time outdoors when I clean their brooder...

    sexing 4 week old chicks (pic heavy)

    They're 4 weeks old today (pics taken yesterday.) I really hope they aren't males. These chicks are going to be working for their feed. And males aren't allowed in my area, so any males will have to go. ANd I did order only pullets.

    sexing 4 week old chicks (pic heavy)

    I bought 6 pullets from Meyer and got 7 chicks in the mail... 2 BR 2 PR and 3 RIR (I think... those were the closest looking chick pics to the chicks I recieved) Anyway, the BR appeared female, and so did the RIR, but I had no clue on the PR. Now, I'm starting to think I was wrong... Any help...
