Well I guess you really do learn something new every day and today's lesson is that chickens give the Stink Eye in more ways than one lol. Well I guess Peep (the one in my avatar) has been giving me the stink eye since he was just a few days old (he is more likely to be a she but we call her a...

Bippy (BO in front) giving me my first official "Stink Eye"

She seems to be thriving. Today but still seems to have pain when she poops. Poor Twitch :(

I was just checking on Twitch and she pooped. It seemed to be rather long and hard even. I forgot to mention above that I did add a small amount of cider vinegar to the water in the brooder but she didn't seem to have any trouble pooping (she shivered a bit and chirped once). I am not sure if it...

I have a 5 day old RIR, she was my sick lil baby when they arrived from the hatchery, I nursed her back to health and she's been perfectly fine since, well she got pasty butt 2 days ago and I cleaned it with warm water and q-tip (taking care not to pull on it) I noticed today that she was...

They really are amazing. I can not believe how much they change from one hour to the next. My daughter named her... Twitch because she twitches her head quite a lot. :)

I ordered 4 hens, a EE, a SB, a BO and a RIR, I also added a Meal Maker to the order. I have no idea what breed she is, (I assume she is sexed correctly but I am kind of hoping she's a he) I think she is some kind of white breed tho.. they are only 3 days old so only time will tell. Do any of...

Our lil Peep (the yellow Meyermeal maker) is the leader and trouble maker she/he's also my favorite at the moment. Shh that's a secret lol Peep pulled the paper towels back to forage In the shavings. I just took up the paper towels... they all are so happy and excited right now. Peep seems...

She is healthy and great now :) I am pretty surprised she recovered. I just knew she wasn't going to make it. But I guess she's my little fighter :)

My babies are just a day old. They do not like posing for pictures yet lol This is our RIR, she gave us a big scare today when they arrived, I thought she was dying =( but now she's the boss lady lol They just wanted to stand in the GroGel and sleep

Well our lil Twitch (the kids named her) is up and running around pecking at others, letting them know she's the boss haha! She's eating, drinking and I even saw her go poopy! She really scared me laying down like she was, but I guess she was just jet lagged hehe! Here she is, being...

Yes these are shipped chicks (shipped yesterday) She's back up and seems to be eating the starter feed. She is not interested in the mash with the GroGel at all. She is drinking and chirping, but she still seems to fall over when she hops around. But isn't laying on her side breathing weird...

Anyone?

Before I could get this posted she started laying down on her side and seems to be breathing slowly but hard. I am worried she's not ok... do chickens lay like this...

HELP!! Ok I just picked up my babies about an hour ago, 4 of them seem happy perky and healthy but I have one (the red one on the bottom right) that seems dizzy, she keeps falling over on her back and has trouble getting up, she can't really walk either, I have tried to feed her GroGel but she...

Thanks! It looked much bigger to start off.... then once I got everything in there I realized it wasn't nearly as big as I thought. I have already told the hubby we may be converting the old entertainment center into a brooder/isolation unit. Our coop is being built now... the hubby says it...

Hehe yes I did order from Meyer! They are so friendly and very helpful! Thank you it was pretty simple to make, I ordered a whole lot of 8 of those knobs on Etsy.com... they will also be used on the coop

Oh Thank You, Thank You! I have to run there and grab some items before they arrive, I will add this to my list. Do you know if it is ok to give them with with the GroGel Plus?
