    Irene Temporary containment

    Too bad the storm basically fizzled out here in Northwest CT. Nothing really happened here in Falls Village. I was at least expecting high winds, but its just drizzling. Had the girls and boys in last night, JUST in case. This was their temporary enclosure for the night. Nice warm dry hay...

    Chick pecked, skin/feathers removed from neck/head *graphic*

    This little chick seemed to get picked on by ONE particular hen way more than any of the others, generally it was never BAD. A bit of chasing, but when the little one got to the others, the chase was up and she ignored them all. But this..... this was horrifying to come into in the morning...

    Chick Limping/not putting much weight on one leg

    I have a maybe week old silkie who seems to have injured its leg somehow. Still eating and drinking and actively tries to move around on its own, but also lays down a lot to give its good leg a rest it seems. When eating at the feeder, this guy does rest the injured leg on the lip of one of the...

    Buying TSC chicks in addition to my own hatched chicks

    Im assuming quarantine should be practiced( I'd prefer it anyway) and im wondering anything else i might need to know about this process, i want them to be able to get used to each other so they can be one flock after brooding is finished. How would you suggest we go about introductions? what...
