    Recomendations on how to keep chicks from kicking feed all over the brooder?

    I use a small baking tray to hold my chick feeder and waterer. They still kick some crumbles into the water and poop on the food in the tray. It’s still less messy than no tray.

    Lets see if this works. When you have to share one bathroom mirror with all 11 siblings.

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    This morning Gimpy looks to be using her sore leg again. Whew. I think the name Gimpy has stuck tho. Gimpy sporting her new hot pink leg band.

    Checked on gimpy, she's still not happy to bear weight on her leg but her crop was full so she must be getting out from under the heat plate to eat. That's good news. Then I just hung around and absorbed some cuteness.

    Swollen(?) eyelids on days old chick

    I also have a bunch hatched Tuesday and delivered Thursday. I'm seeing a bit of eye pecking going on with mine. Nothing excessive yet. Seems to be happening more with the ones with lighter fluff, it makes the dark eyes stand out more as a target I guess? I'm not sure how exactly to stop it, I...

    That's a bit beyond my knowledge unfortunately...hopefully someone else with a bit more construction knowledge stops by.

    <UPDATE Resolved!> Quick question: New Run Build, Post Depth

    This is correct. Concrete wont stop frost heave. You'll need to dig below the frost line to prevent the posts heaving. Concrete will help weigh things down and hold them sturdy if you get a lot of wind. Probably for a chicken run you wont need to make actual piers or footings, but dumping a...

    Depends on where you are and what your frost line is in your area.

    Coop Heater Advice

    As a fellow northern pennsylvanian, I will say I do have a small oil filled radiant heater I use in my coop on the bitterest days. But only to save the eggs from freezing and cracking as I cant get out to collect multiple times per day. I'm the sole chicken caretaker and I work decently long...

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    And we had one escapee from where I apparently didnt secure the cardboard sides well enough. Fixed that, but seems like she might have injured a leg. Nothing appears broken, but she doesnt want to bare much weight on it. Sigh. Why do these guys have to be so fragile?

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    This morning’s check found one of the OE or GQ’s with pasty butt. Cleaned that up and she had a massive poop. Hopefully that’s the end of that…

    There are indeed so many with feathered legs! I was surprised because I mostly tried to avoid that. One or more of my OG girls has something against them and will pluck other chicken’s feet. Ah well. And I think I agree with you on which is the CCL and Welsummer after staring at chick pics on...

    Chipmunk patterned chicks are my absolute favorite too. Wish they kept that pattern as adults!

    Who is who and which is which?

    I received 12 chicks yesterday and am having a hard time figuring out which is which. A couple look very similar. Here's my order list and numbered pics of everyone, except what I think is the splash ameraucana. I got home from work today and went to check on them and found her barely alive...

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    And then there were 11. I got home from work today and went out to grab everyone for a quick butt check and photo snap. Everyone was spunky with ginormous crops except the splash ameraucana. She was laying weak and not moving under the front of the heat plate. I picked her up, brought her in...

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    Let’s see if this will work… Nope. Anyone have a good hint to adding a video from a phone with out using YouTube or a computer? I tried Facebook and TikTok but when I tried to add the link, I get an error that says it’s not able to embed the video.
