    Dead chicks and a lone chick

    So I had 3 chicks that I was keeping waiting to put in the run with the other but 2 does last night. We got a cold front and just couldn’t handle it I guess? They had a heat lamp and almost 12 weeks old. I setup a large brooder in the garage to keep the remaining one till she’s big enough. I...

    3 lonely birds

    Walking around rural king and spotted 3 lone olive eggars. The last 3 birds all together. So I brought them home. I don’t know anything about them but green eggs sound cool.

    Chick update

    All my baby chicks have made it so far. These are the first chickens I've ever raised. They were 2 and 4 weeks old on jul 4. One of the speckled Sussex might be a rooster but I can't tell.

    Moved the chicks to the coop

    So I moved the chicks out to the hen house. They are about 3 weeks old. It's been a steady 95+ degrees here in Tennessee and the garage has been far hotter than that with no supply of fresh air. I put the lamp in there to keep them warm at night, it's only been dropping to the high 70's. Hope...

    Cleaning chick vent

    A couple of my chicks had blocked vents. I used damp paper towel to try to wipe it off but it was far too hard so I had to cut off some of the fluff around her butt to free it. Is there a better way to do this? I'm worried a wrong move could injure and stress the chick, thanks in advance

    New chicks and coop

    I have a couple small things to touch up and a few weeks before they move outside. The black and white ones are Cochins and the others are some type of pullets. I'm not really sure. They are only 1 week old.
