Thank you everyone! The last poult went into the kennel that had the caught ones already. The tom was hanging by them, but I just don't think he had the attention span of the hen. I've put the poults in with a hen that has a chick about the same age as poults as well as some younger ones she is...

The mom was lost to a predator last night (she was free ranging). Four of the poults remain. I've managed to catch three. The tom, when let out of the coop in the morning was attracted to the poults crying. He seems to be looking after the remaining free poult. He's calling it and letting it...

Chick died. At least it took only a few minutes and not hours or days.

I am really hating myself. Walked into the bathroom tonight (light off) and stepped on a squeaky toy. It compressed with a long squeak. But then I took my foot off and realized that our dogs did not play with rubber squeaky toys in my bathroom that it was a 9 day old chick. Not instantly dead...

Hope you'll get a chance to dry out!

Dang, its been over 150 pages since I've been on. Just checking back in. Glad to see a few familiar names!

These are prolific in Hawaii

Glad you were able to 'farm' out the calf to a nursing mom. I actually made butter too from a really good milking longhorn. It was my first successful butter making attempt!

Any ideas on what to do with a 2day old chick with a compound wing break? There was a piece of bone (I now believe) that came off - it was about the length of a grain of rice but about a fifth as thick. Injury seems to be in the armpit area. Hard to tell with such a small thing. NO CLUE whats...

OMG! Gone for three weeks and this what I miss!

@Poco Pollo How are you guys doing in all of this rain? Can you get out?

Founds some buddy chicks for my one legged peeper at the auction last night. Amazing how much more messy 7 chicks are than one chick with a bad leg! He seems quite content with the new arrivals even though they are a few days older and a little bigger. There were some very cool large fowl birds...

Anyone in the market for a 'special' chick? I have a (found in the cowyard) bantam type chick - mama was likely a bantam cochin, dad, who knows... He (the chick) had one leg tuck up, like other kinds of birds often do. He doesn't use it, and so far has managed to get around using only one leg -...

That is the coolest thing ever! Post cards are pretty lame compared to this.

Okie wind braided!

Looks to be porcelain to me.

So sorry!..... It's why I don't let the kids name them. :(

Just an update on the poults, (a word which does not pass spellcheck) lost four overnight night before last, but the two remaining have eaten down half of their feed dish and a third of their water - they are also making bigger poops than before. They are just over a week old- can I feed them...

Can I feed little mealworms to week old poults?

I made the mistake of putting ACV into a waterer with a galvanized bottom for my poults over the weekend. Will likely lose 2 more. Just lethargic, but now with the occasional tremor. Wonder if it is a metal poisoning....but they were acting off already, sulmet was also in the water - along with...
