I had to bring my chicks into the house from the garage. It was 92 degrees in there and it was only 8:30 AM. I'm in inland southern California and it's supposed to break 104 here today.
They are so cute!!! I have 3 week olds and was thinking about letting them out for a time during the day. It's so HOT here that I'm having a hard time keeping them cool enough. It's cooler outside than in the brooder.
I wasn't too sure of the NN. I hadn't seen them before and went with something I'd heard of.
Believe me I went straight to the woopin'. That dog has been trying to get back on my good side for a week now.
We've just tried to be extra vigilant when she's outside. As hot as its been though, both...

I also use a kiddie pool but I surrounded it with 24 inch hardware cloth. Then we put a section of chain link fencing over the top. That keeps them from flying over and also keeps the cat out. The black labs just knocked the whole thing over and killed 8 of my first batch so now they...
Hey JimnJanet,
Your Cleo has even more evenly applied eyeliner than ours. As soon as I figure how to get my camera back from my daughter, I'll post some pics. They're just so cute!!!

We bought RIR, BR and Ameraucanas. The last time we were there he only had turkens? (naked necks).
I like what I bought though. From what I've read they seem to be good first time birds. I still worry about my dogs. The feed store guy said that once they get a taste of killing chickens...
We found our chicks at the feed store on Kendall. I wish I could get more chicks but I promised my husband I would only get ten. Since our one baby girl survived the dog attack, I have eleven. Hy hubby thinks I pulled a fast one on him. I'm hoping in the future to work on him to get more. I...
You must be a night owl like I am. It was awful to find all those chicks dead. This is our first attempt to raise chicks and we'd only had them two days!!!! I wished I had know about your chicks. We bought them at the feed store and I prefer to buy from someone that loves their chicks and not...
Hi guys, Riverside is close and I do know where Reche Canyon is. I lived in Grand Terrace for a year.
We're on our second batch of chickies as the dogs broke into the brooder and killed 8 of the first batch. We now have 5 RIR, 3 BR and 3 Ameraucanas. Thanks for the warm welcome ya'll
Thank you for your advice. I put neosporin on her and put her in a smaller box with her own feed and water in the main brooder. The other bird was pecking her. I'm going back to the feed store and getting a few more chickies. If she lives my daughters want to call her Lazarus.
Thank you for your...
I just got my first set of chicks two days ago. My dogs just knocked the brooder over and killed eight of my chicks and one is fine and one has a puncture wound under the right wing. She is able to move around and peeps but isn't moving much. Is she a goner? The feed store guy said that if she's...
