    Possible Hernia (NOT umbilical cord or yolk sack)

    I have a chick that is about a week old. It had really bad pasty butt. I cleaned it up yesterday and checked today to find it covered again. While rinsing it this time, I noticed that off to the left of the belly button area (above and to the left of the vent when it is laying on it's back) that...

    Silkied Ameraucana Project

    Rachel, I just replied to you on Facebook. (Megan Curtis). I'll post my reply here so people can see what I said in regards to the others telling you they weren't pure. Emily, that is correct. The Ameraucana Association doesn't accept silkied as an Ameraucana feather type, so the chickens...

    What do you do for a living?

    I know how that goes. Since I am self-employed, people assume I sit around and watch TV all day just waiting for them to call and ask me for favors. ;)

    Going organic?

    We are feeding non-GMO feed and the chickens are pastured in tractors that are moved daily. We are advertising our eggs as non-GMO. When people ask about organic I explain that we don't feed anything that isn't orgNic, but that the birds do eat bugs they find throughout the day.

    3 of them have very similar sized tail feathers, but that one has much smaller tail feathers. They are shorter. Think there is any significance? That one is also the most standoffish.

    Heat Plates vs Heat Lamps

    These are the heat plates that the thread is referring to.

    Is anyone using the Premier "heat plate" brooder for chicks?

    In my experience, the area right under the heat plate is heated to 95. It doesn't warm the air around it, but the chicks don't need the whole brooder to be that warm. They just need a place to warm up. I would think it being 50 wouldn't be too awful for them. Maybe open up a vent in the basement...

    Is anyone using the Premier "heat plate" brooder for chicks?

    Have you checked out this thread? It addresses the cost. Premier's plate is actually cheaper than a heat lamp over the course of brooding one batch of chicks. The cost for the heat lamp will show up on a higher energy bill than that of a heat plate...
