    Quote: Panasonic BL-C131A Wireless Network Camera. After having a wired USB camera set up in another location and multiple problems with various webserver apps, I decided to go with a wireless cam with it's own built-in webserver. The Panasonic cam has been the easiest and most reliable by far.

    Heat Lamp?

    I was wondering about that too. My 2.5 week olds seem to be nocturnal. I thought that maybe the light being on 24/7 was either keeping them awake or messing with their internal clock.

    Maryland?!

    Quote: I live near St. Michaels. You'd think that Delmarva , being the 'chicken capital' of the Mid-Atlantic, would mean that supplies would be easy to find but that's not the case. I have had to run all around getting feeders,litter, food and stuff. The nearest Tractor Supply is in Dover so...

    Please help! Raising baby chicks NOW in a cold climate!

    Maryland winters are cold but rarely below zero. We do have awfully high humidity though, that makes for a cold damp everything. I have 12 2-week olds that will be going out in the coop as soon as they are feathered. I am insulating the coop and putting the heat lamp out there. My mom bought a...

    Is there a such thing as TOO warm?

    My week old chicks panted in 95, 90, and 85 degree heat.They were too sleepy also in the 90's. I have 2 thermometers in there to double check. They are 2 weeks old now and seem to enjoy 75 degrees. I watch them to see where they are gathering and everyone is kinda spread out from the lamp area.

    Please help, chick experts!!!! She won't stop crying!

    Just a thought...do you think putting a stuffed animal or a t-shirt with our scent on it near her might help? I have used "rice buddies" with other little creatures that were restless or crying for mama. Fill a sock with uncooked white rice and microwave in 15 second intervals until it is warm...

    Aggressive chick advice..and Intro

    I'm happy to report that the little meanie has stopped being so agressive. Actually she/he is quite docile now. I have moved my 10 birds to a bigger brooder (bottom of a large dog kennel) with pine shavings and they really seem to enjoy the room to run. Here's a video of the girls as they...
