Its like an all purpose livestock feed.

Is it safe to feed chicks ground up sweet feed? And adult chickens normal sweet feed ? Could this be harmful in any way? thanks!

Okay yesterday my sister saved a baby chick from her dog, the thing is she lives in town so for me its kinda hard to believe that there were chicks there, she said she even saw more. The chick is real small and I want to know what type it is.

So Definitely took out the two older eggs she had, no chicks. well, theyre was some development but looks like they died within the first week. I think I'm going go ahead and crack the rest of her eggs, they are on day 22 and still no pips... ETA: just cracked upon all five other eggs, all...

its day 25 for an egg that was leftover after the dog stole some... I'm gonna crack it open...

Okay, because the last time I candled they were developing. just check on her and still no chicks..

okay so today was day 21 for my broody, she is setting on seven eggs, so far so good. but still no chicks hatching! does it sometimes take an extra day or is there a bigger problem? thanks!

Okay, today should be day 21 and still none hatched yet!

Hatch date is coming closer!! Thursday here we come!

awwwwwwwwwww SO cute! congrats!

My fridge eggs are developing too! all nine of them!

The buff orps have a higher chance of going broody, but any of the other breeds you have could go broody too, but that just depends on chance. maybe you could buy or borrow a silkie to do some hatching?

sorry to say I never got the chance to candle them... gotta confess I went to the midnight showing of transformers instead.. bad chicken mommy right? haha I will for sure be candling tonight though...

I'll be candling the eggs tonight... its day five/eight.... so far the dogs haven't stolen anymore eggs, she still has nine.

yeah all I know is I needa bathe, check for mites, and clip nails... I'm showing through FFA and I wish i knew what to expect!
