Cassidy - roo

No one will believe this but I have one EE Bantam roo that is now 6 weeks old. This is a hatch of two that I hatched out in my incubator. I have my brooder in the computer room. I was typing away when they were 10 days old and I heard this sound. Looked over and low and behold the little guy was...

Larger shavings - barely any dust, small chicks cannot eat them and seems like you don't see the poop as quickly. I have three brooders in my house and they works wonderfully!

I have two EE Bantam x d'Anver chicks that are two 1/2 weeks old. At 1 1/2 weeks the comb on the light blue one was starting to get red. Have one roo and one hen. This morning I was on the computer and the brooder is right next to it and the the darn little roo started to crow . I almost fell...

Yes - they will pick the leaves off and leave the stems. Chickens love alfalfa and it is so good for them, calcium, and other good vitamins and minerals. Good Luck!

Good job.....Bats are not all bad.

Don't worry - they will all be fine together. Growing up together they usually have a great bond.

I am very protective of my flock and only let them out when I am home but in January I let them out to clean the coop - it is huge. I was out and hear a scream..it was a Cooper's Hawk trying to carry off my white d'Anver hen. I knew that she was wounded and decided that that hawk was not going...

All are out - 2 EE bantam chicks and 2 d'Anver's. One light and one dark of each of them..they are doing great!

I have two hatched out of 4 - other two have pipped. Two EE Bantams one black and one still wet but looks light. d'Anver eggs last - come on chickies:yiipchick

I woke up to two pips this morning - 1 d'Anver and one EE

I just went into lockdown - I have a Brinsea Mini Advance. I have 4 eggs, 2 d'Anver and two bantam EE eggs. We will see! Good Luck to everyone.

I have 4 due to hatch on the 23rd. 2 are d'Anver eggs and two are EE Bantam eggs. Candled at 5 days and all looked great and candled today and all are moving around like a video game.

Have a wonderful time with your new flock - they are like a flower garden.....so many colors etc. FYI most of the time if the mixed babies grown up together they get along. But everyone has had different experiences with a mixed flock. So much fun to breed and raise your own. Good Luck!

I would not put him back out until he is back to his normal self..if sleeping a lot still needs more time. Good Luck!
