    Nesting Box Bedding

    Great replies! Thanks! I'll have to see about getting a bale of hay home in my car. Has anyone tried putting any kind of a carpet or mat on the bottom of the nest box so there's still something soft after they scratch away all of the bedding? I was thinking I might go to the hardware store...

    Nesting Box Bedding

    We just started getting eggs a few days ago, so we're pretty excited about that, but I was wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for what to use on the bottom of a nesting box. We've put pine shavings in them, but the chickens scratch it all out every time they go in. I wouldn't...

    Bare stripe on chick's underside, any info or suggestions?

    Yeah, she doesn't seem to be picked-on. She also doesn't seem to be sitting down any more than any of the others. Last night I found a small bug and tossed it in there to see what they'd do with it, and she's the one that ended up getting to eat it after a long game of keep-away. Anyway...

    Bare stripe on chick's underside, any info or suggestions?

    She acts healthy. She's eating and drinking, she scratches and pecks, and talks a lot. I'll be keeping my eye on her and keeping her oiled up.

    Bare stripe on chick's underside, any info or suggestions?

    Well, this morning she was completely pasted up. I got her cleaned off and oiled up. In the middle of the process, my wife helped me take a picture. So, this is what's up. It doesn't look as bad as yesterday, but still seems like something to be concerned about. The bare strip is most...

    Bare stripe on chick's underside, any info or suggestions?

    Nope, I don't think I can get a workable picture without help (my wife is at work). I didn't figure many people would see it tonight, but figured I'd go ahead and post on the off chance someone could help. I'll keep trying tomorrow. Thanks for the welcome, and the encouragement.

    Rodent-type waterers? Video Update!!! It works great!

    I've been researching this and have heard that chicks in particular (I don't know about chickens) have trouble easily getting the volume of water they need from the rodent style waterers. What I have seen people do (I think there's even someone on BYC that posted some info about their setup) is...

    Bare stripe on chick's underside, any info or suggestions?

    I've been lurking around here for a while, reading quite a few posts. My wife and I just finally got our first batch of hatchlings today: 5 Barred Rocks. Since we brought them home, there's been one chick that's been really consistently having problems with pasting. I keep taking her out...
