I'm really looking at moving this newborn into the brooder. I've got one in the brooder (3 days old) and one born 7 hours ago. They are screeching at each other across the room and I'm going INSANE!
"Miracle" is almost totally dried off and they're very lonely.
Would it be horrible to move...
Hey thanks!
I appreciate your offer though. I did look forward to meeting you!
I still can't believe that things went this well. By the way, has anybody had any luck with sexing their chicks by using the single vs dual row of feathers? I saw that on youtube and wondered if it was really true?
After reading your other thread I'm here to say I'm so sorry for your loss.
3 of our dogs would go after the chickens in a heartbeat, so we don't ever let them be together at all. We only free range our chickens when the dogs are put in their kennels.

Just wanted to update you all.......the last of the 7 eggs just hatched!
We of course are thrilled.....this whole thing has been crazy. We did lose 5 of the eggs, but to have 2 hatch out of seven given the whole story of the past two weeks, we feel very blessed!

I totally believe you about your cat. Mine has been sitting guard ever since we put our lone chick in the brooder.
I think your cat was doing the motherly thing. Sorry about your loss of the chick though. I was looking at one of those mini-bators as a possibility. Now that I've heard your...
My favorite chicken so far was the sweetest, climb into your lap outside kind of girl (until he started crowing!) He was a Black Astralorp. ( sorry for the bad spelling)
Gentle, hardy, gorgeous to look at and the sweetest personality. I still can't believe he was a roo!
I am "Josephine" the homeschool stay-at-home mom and my DH is "Joe" the machinist who works 50 plus hours at the day job only to come home and work on his side business. He sacrifices amazingly so that I can stay home with our 2 young kids. When i left the business world 9 years ago, I was...
Well, we have on sweet little 24 hour chick in the brooder all by herself now. She's doing really well.
We had the one that had pipped and it died in the shell (see the other thread.....how long should we wait???)
Todays a good day. We have one more in the incubator that we are hoping and...
