    TODAYS THE DAY!!!!!!!!!

    I've heard of people doing wacky things or being scared to eat the first eggs. Throwing them over the house, blowing them out and saving the shell, cooking them and giving them back...... I chose egg salad! I gave the shells back to them though. Also, I thought they were supposed to be soft...

    Just a Quick Hello :)

    This is "Chickaletta" (Paw Patrol reference, parents will get it) I can't %100 say she's the rule of the roost, but she's certainly the smart one. Faster, harder to catch and the little **#%#} taught the rest of the flock how to get out of the pen!

    chick choking on water HELP

    If they can get too hot in the brooder, then you need to modify your brooder so there is a cooler spot away from the light. They will regulate their own temp. I.E. Too cold, move to the light, too hot move away from it. Having other chicks around (imo) at that age is essentual, they will all...

    Pardon my French............ I always speak to my ladies in a very soft loving voice, whether it's good morning or saying food time or yelling at them for getting out of the pen, but I've always affectionately referred to them as "my Witches". I know it's wrong, don't judge me. Well even...

    Do your chicks sleep on a roosting branch or floor?

    I give mine the option because even if for nothing else, they seem to enjoy it. They start out playing, up and down, hanging out, eventually one their heads will drop and fall asleep. I can't say there's any rhyme or reason to it, but it seems to be an individual thing, but also temperature...

    Is this a safe brooder?

    They'll outbgrow it rapidly, but you should be ok. I'd opt for wood chips in the bottom though. (No cedar) Also they will eventually enjoy something to roost on.

    None of this would be an issue if chickens weren't deliscious. We can't eat our pets, but we can kidnap and fry their embryonic children and that's not taboo at all. Every egg you eat, you're consuming and aborted baby chick. Never got to grow up, never got to be cool.
