    My flock don't care much for eating lavender, but it is safe for them to ingest.

    lambs ear

    I have had numerous Lamb's ears when I lived in north Florida, and they were not invasive at all. They spread a bit as they grow, but they don't send runners or rhizomes.

    Chicks are lost in the mail. :( USPS has no idea where they are.

    Our chicks are here!!

    Oh, my goodness! They are so cute! I am thrilled that all 16 made it safe and sound. I was worried about two of them- one was shivering, and both were not eating, drinking, nor active or vocal. However, they are all doing well now, so my fingers are crossed for good health for these babies. We...

    Chicks are lost in the mail. :( USPS has no idea where they are.

    Linga B, I also ordered from Meyer, and they shipped yesterday. They have been sitting in the sorting center in my town since lunch time today, but they won't arrive at the post office until 6 a.m. I am so irritated and worried that they didn't call me. I guess they cannot give out packages from...

    I just rescued a Bantam.....*updated with video*

    You are an angel to rescue her. Truly, there is a special place in Heaven, my dear, and you will see it. Good luck with the little lady. I hope that she lives many happy years with you, and if she does not, she will die in a more comfortable home, knowing what love and kindness feel like.

    Baby chicks weak and dieing

    Okay, it sounds like you are doing all that can be done. Sometimes they just aren't strong enough, no matter how well we care for them. You are doing great- I never thought of the rice-filled sock! I'm filing that one away in my brain. Good luck to you and your fluffies.

    Baby chicks weak and dieing

    Also, I know this is going to sound absolutely weird and nutty, but we rescued a baby squirrel that was only 2-3 weeks old, and I tucked him into my sports bra to keep him warm after I fed him with the syringe and pup formula. Flame me if you must, but her would snuggle right down and go to...

    Baby chicks weak and dieing

    The brooder should be 95 degrees for the first week. Do you have the sav-a-chick electrolyte powder, or some pedialyte or Gatorade? That helps! And I have read many people boil an egg or two and mash up the yolk and feed that to the babies to give them a huge boost of nutrients. I am so sorry...
