So Sorry Cuties! That is tough. I just had a friend that lost 3 goats due to smoke inhalation. His chickens and goats share a barn, there was a small fire in it on Saturday. He was able to get all of the goats and most of the chickens out but by Sunday all 3 had passed. :(

Hi Everyone!!! Well here is an update on the chick situation. Out of the 35 we received, 10 didn't make it. So hard to tell which breed is which, so I will just have to wait until they are a little older before I know. I contacted the hatchery and just asked for a refund. I just cannot handle...

Yes they were vaccinated.

BBP - No mold in the basement. I have pine shavings down for bedding. I have electrolytes in the water. Brooder temp directly under the heat lamp is 98. I have medicated chick feed. I am at a loss. Maybe it was just to cold for them...they had a heat pack in with them. Its just strange that...

HI everyone! Sorry that it has been so long. Hope you all are doing well!! I have some questions for you all. So I ordered chicks from a hatchery a month ago, and received them last week. We had 2 DOA and within two days we had only 6 out of 15 left. They would all be fine and then all of the...

Unfortunately she did not make it through the night :( I really thought she was going to be ok. I checked on her at around 3 this morning and she was gone. Thanks everyone for all of your advice! Great to know for next time. Thanks again!

Thanks everyone for all of the advice. She is responding a little more, we will see what happens through the night. What do you give for vitamins and electrolytes? (I know, its probably a stupid question for you experts ) :)

Hey everyone! I haven't been on here in awhile. I am in need of help. One of my bantams flew over our fence last Sunday, we couldn't find her. Today my neighbor showed up and said she had our chicken! We were surprised she made it in this cold by herself. Anyway I went to check on her tonight...

Thanks Colton! BTW my oldest son's name is Michael. He's three :) Thanks Dr.H. If I remember correctly, you just lost your parents not too long ago as well correct? :( Thanks Cuties Oh my goodness Frenchie! That is horrible. I hope they found the monster that did that to your parents! I...

Thanks Cindlady! Yes, very hard thinking that he is ok and my boys can grow up with their Grandfather around. Now my oldest asks for him on a daily basis. Its been a whirlwind last month. On a positive note, I am glad that you are able to keep things in control! That is fantastic!! Do you...

Thanks so much Terri O. I will let you know about the pullets :) I work during the day on Tuesday, but maybe my Mom or husband could meet you somewhere in Wausau? Thanks Celtic Chick! I never thought that I would be in this place this early on in his life. It is horrible. So sorry for...

Thanks Irishrovr..I appreciate it!

Hi Vicki - Thanks for the condolences. He was only 66. He had AML. He was diagnosed back in August of last year. Went through all the chemo and the last biopsy that they did in March showed ZERO leukemic cells. The doctor was shocked that it came back so quickly. They gave him 3 different...

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well!!!! Haven't been on in a long time. Been very busy with my kiddos and my Dad. My Dad's Leukemia returned in May, after being in complete remission for only 2 months. He went in for treatment in on June 10th. His immune system never was able to rebuild...

Do any of you know if anyplace around Wausau sells those red chicken nipples for waterers? I want to get one built before all this really hot weather starts. Thanks much!!!!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well. Haven't been on here in awhile, lots of newbies! :) Wondering if anyone one would be interested in a black Cochin fizzle bantam rooster?! I need to find him a home ASAP since I am not allowed to have roosters where I live. He is waking the neighbors...

I have 3 bantams and 2 standard size chicks that are 4 weeks old. Do you think they will be ok out in an unheated garage with a heatlamp? Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts about sand vs. pine shavings, etc. in the coop! I might just stick with the pine shavings. For those of you that live in the Wausau area, where do you get yours from? Fleet Farm? Anyone have any tips on building a coop? What to do/not to do? How high...

I have heard that sand is easier to clean...you just scoop up the messes everyday, kinda like a cat's litter box, but IDK if anyone else has tried this. We will see I guess!

I am in need of your opinions. Who here uses sand in their coop vs. pine shavings, etc? Which one do you like better? Why? Trying to figure out my plans for my coop and I have read that sand is great and cheaper in the long run vs. the pine shavings. Also its not suppose to hold the...
