    Introducing new chicks to other chicks

    Thanks! Today is the first day they have been so close. They were in separate brooders. Though the bigger ones did sometimes venture into the smaller brooder. We never had any isses then. Hoping everything goes well.

    I am super excited about the poultry show this weekend! LOL! I've not been to one since I was a teen and showing chickens myself. I'm hoping one or more of my sons show interest in showing someday.

    are your dogs and chicken friends

    We have 2 mutts. One is a border collie and sheltie mix, the other is a chihuahua and boston terrier mix. We have had the chicks for almost 2 weeks now and both dogs just look at the chicks like they are moving chicken nuggets. The border collie mix killed one of quail years ago so I know...

    Setting eggs tomorrow, anyone want to join?

    My 3 eggs all expired. I candled last night and there had been no growth and all 3 had blood rings. I am bummed and so is my son. But we are staying busy with the new chicks and maybe we'll try again later down the road. I am still watching this thread to see what you all have hatch. :)

    Setting eggs tomorrow, anyone want to join?

    So all my eggs are still. I had some temp issues yesterday and am worried it may have damaged the embryo. There was so much movement a few days ago and now nothing. There is no ring or anything and they seem to look bigger but I just don't know.

    I lock down on Easter. I sure hope the guys don't decide to come early! I won't be home much that weekend.

    Setting eggs tomorrow, anyone want to join?

    So I went to turn my eggs before bed tonight and noticed one egg felt cooler then normal. It was still warm, just didn't feel as warm. The thermometer shows the eggs should be right at 100 degrees. I candled it and it still looks great inside. Lots of veins but I did not see movement like in...
