    Nipple waterers

    I have a question? Would it be possible to add nipples to a heated bucket or heated muck bucket? I have both from my horses, and wondered if it would be an option for the winter? (Bonus, cuz I already have them sitting around)

    Sneezing, Coughing but no nasal discharge

    Sorry to hijack your thread! I too have hens back from the fair. Its been almost a month. They were quarantined for 2wks, then put back in general population. 3 or 4 days after being back in with others, one presented with a runny eye, and another was gurgly and rattly while breathing. I put...

    9 birds killed in 2 weeks. Warning... graphic in nature. UPDATE PG 5

    I had my entire flock killed by coons two nights ago! They broke into my shut coop(coons can open latches!), and killed 12 hens, and my roo. I put out a live trap, and golden marlin mixed with coke last night. The trap got one, and the marlin got a huge coon, and two possoms! One of the coons...

    Silkie thread!

    And this is the 3rd little chick. These babies are from my very first incubating attempt, and from my new birds I've purchased over the last few months from wonderful people on BYC! So my birds and I are both first time chickie parents!

    Serama eggs from Castle Delight Seramas

    I thought the same thing on the remaining eggs Laura. pulled them this morning, and candled, they were all dead:( I did egg topsy's on them, looks like 2 died before lockdown, and the other 2 CDS never pipped thru the membrane. My 2 remaining silkie eggs, 1 may have died before lockdown, but...

    Serama eggs from Castle Delight Seramas

    Another update.. I transfered the little ailing baby back to the bator. He just wasn't keeping warm enough in the brooder. I think, by how he's acting, if he makes it to morning it will surprising. But at least now, he's warm and comfortable, sleeping on a pillow of paper towel. The little guy...

    Serama eggs from Castle Delight Seramas

    The little amadeus baby is up and around. He is now in the brooder with the others, he is a tiny thing! Definetly slower than the others, but I'm keeping fingers crossed for him. I haven't had any activity from the other 6 eggs:( We are ending day 23. I'm concerned that opening the bator to...

    Serama eggs from Castle Delight Seramas

    Well...the little guy is still with us. I pulled him out and gave him a vitamin drop, and took a better look, he has a bit of an umbilical stub on his bottom? He just lays flat out in the bator, but has moved positions. I think what happened is he didn't have the egg yolk fully absorbed when he...

    Serama eggs from Castle Delight Seramas

    Oh that is awful! Darn PO. I'm getting super nervous! There were a few in my batch that I didn't see wiggling, but they looked as developed as the others, and a few of you have said they do sleep? They are just getting to the point where it's getting harder to candle because they are filling...

    Another brooder heat source?

    I was thinking along those lines. I'm just not sure how long they will stay warm. We can run the generator while stopping to eat and when we stop at rest area;s, so I was thinking hot water bottles, or those things you put in the microwave and heat up for your neck? (I could rewarm in the...
