Sorry it took a few days to get back! Life with a 17 month old and 70 new chicks, and 3 - 6 week old goats seems to leave me little time to chat!!! OK, so I cracked the 2 eggs. Both looked just fine? I ate them and I am still sitting here typing? Now one thing I did notice. They were both...
Thank you for the post. I know... I just can't find any information on why a fresh egg would float? I am going to crack the 2 that floated this morning and see if there is anything suspicious... but, I don't have any explanation....
Good Morning everyone.... I have a question for all.... I have read soooo many different threads, and I can't seem to get the answer to this exact question. We have several chickens, that have been laying for about a year, and we just got our new group this April and so we will have more...
Just a quick update! All the little girls are doing great and growing quick! I took the divider out of the box already and they are running like crazy back and forth spreading their little wings! Temp is great! I did notice they do move back and forth how they want to either warm up under...
I ended up having my husband bring them in! I think I will sleep better knowing they are safe inside! It is much warmer in the house, so I have one light to see how things go for a bit... Here is a pic...
I will run out and take a pic of my set up to post and show everyone. I can't thank you all enough for the information! You have all been so helpful!!!
I am measuring at the floor, and it is only 73. I have their water and food a little away from the heat source. So they have enough area to get out of the lights and heat, but I still don't have an area where it is near warm enough, I don't think... They are moving around and eating and drinking.
Hi all,
Need help real quick. Just got our peeps in the mail today. This is our first time.. I have three heat lights in their box and I can't get it up to 95 degrees... I have read that you should not put them in the house, but would it really hurt to bring the box into the house for a few...
This is my first thread but I wanted to start by saying a huge "thank you" to anyone out there that puts on all this great information. My husband and I are "newer" to the chicken world.... and might I say, we are just hooked! We had three original little girls that we bought last year...
