    FANS in yer coops/runs?? Whos got em...........

    Living in the Sonoran desert gets painfully hot for my girls, so my husband built a swamp cooler into the side of our coop. It runs 24/7 for about 6 months out of the year. It keeps the inside to a tolerable 90ish degrees on the 110+ days and much more comfortable than that when it's only around...

    It IS February....right???

    Hmmmm I think most of the country was warmer than we were yesterday. It was cold and rainy all day, then woke up to snow on the Superstition Mtns!!! It froze last night and my car looked like an ice cube this morning. Even the handle was frozen. What the heck!!!

    Ethical problem for a newbie

    Hi Max and welcome! I don't have any experience with meat birds as I am raising layers, but I wanted to chime in on breed choices. My original 9 are still young at 4 months, but I can already see personality differences between the breeds. The production reds are the orneriest, the barred...

    New babies! Oh Buuuffff....

    Thanks, Buff. My DD is still sad, but finally stopped crying for Goldie. I'm pretty sure she aspirated when she 1st tried to drink and wasn't able to recover. Today after school we're going back to the feed store to pick out another BO chickie. The other 2 are thriving and happy. (Sunny and...

    New babies! Oh Buuuffff....

    Well, little Goldie died yesterday. It was very sad. My DD was distraught. We had a little burial out back for her. This was DD's 1st experience with death (other than fish) and it was very hard for her. I'm not the type of mom that runs out to replace a lost pet before she notices and act like...

    New babies! Oh Buuuffff....

    Well, little Goldie made it through the night! DD decided to name her so she would have a name when she died. She was very upset last night. Goldie was able to stand again after her sugar water last night. I got up at 4am to give another round, then just now at 7am. She's stronger, but still...

    New babies! Oh Buuuffff....

    Thanks Silkelovr, but I don't think I'll need it tonight. There was some grumbling about how we don't need anymore animals, but he's already over it. On a sad note, one of the chicks is doing very poorly. It's very weak and not eating or drinking. I think it aspirated. I offered some sugar...

    Weak chick, need advice

    When first drinking earlier today one of them may have aspirated. I noticed bubbles coming from its nose and mouth and it seemed to have difficulty breathing for a moment. Not sure if this is the same one but I'm assuming it is. Now it is laying on its side and is very weak. I gave it a few...

    Weak chick, need advice

    I picked up 3 new buff orpington chicks from the feed store today. They all seemed fine when I got them home around lunchtime today. Now for the last 2-3 hours one has been sleeping just about non-stop. It will not eat or drink and seems wobbly. It was eating and drinking at first. Someone in...

    New babies! Oh Buuuffff....

    the chick having a nanonap in the first pic looks awful lot like your avatar! Wow, deja vu! I hadn't even noticed. That was one of my production reds from the 1st go around.
