    Moving to Juvenile Coop @ 3 weeks

    I have had such a wonderful time raising my babies this year. I ordered 26 from Estes Hatchery and they all came in great, with 3 extras (they said they added some "cause it's cold up there". Sad thing is it's been a mild winter . Anyway, this year I have them on my porch with an Ecoglow50...

    infected frostbite - what should I be watching for?

    BO roo? *new pics

    I would love to help, but I did the same thing with my 2 BO's this spring. I had one that was more petite and feathered out quick, and I had one that was slow to feather and was broader. I swore I had one female and one male. The slower one even had a red comb by 4 weeks already... Needless...
