That's where I'm at. My husband knows she's my favorite girl and is pretty much throwing a Hail Mary to save her. I can't imagine we will let her go on if we don't see improvement by tomorrow evening--That even feels like a long time to keep someone suffering.

I'm waiting for a call back. My coworkers wife is a vet and she said more than likely we are going to have to put her down. She said she's seen very little success in treatment-for the cost to try and save her we could buy 20 new chicks. My stomach is on the floor. We got duel purpose...

I gave it a try she hates it and struggles in it. We decided to just let her lay down and have food and water close to her. I'm heartbroken.

When I let my girls out this morning everybody was fine I put their feet out and it was business as usual. When I got home I started dinner and looked out my window and my light Brahma was in the corner sitting down which is really unusual. I went outside to check on her and she didn't even...

Thank god--I thought it was me not being patient enough with them. The Brahmas were a breeze. Darn those RIRs.

Hallelujah! It's taken weeks but all my ladies are together. The RIR's weren't very nice initially to my new girls (Jersey Gaint/Americana). Tough little things. Is it normal to have introductions take this long?

That moment when your older ladies accept your new ladies. Hallelujah!

I agree. I love how eye catching she is, but because of her behavior we decided to swap with a co-worker who has Americana/Jersey Giant mix. My girls mixed right in with his flock - the rooster put them in check pretty quickly. My new girls are doing okay. They really want to be apart of the...

Thank you!

Thank you

Thank you

Love this new lifestyle.

This one has been a problem child since coming home and has attacked both my husband and I. Please don't think it's cold, but the only reason she/he is alive is because she/he doesn't have enough meat. I'm starting to think she is a he and he is an ***hole, but a good protector of his ladies...

Great info! We will start outside trips this week!

Yes this will be the last time we use it. it was way after the fact we found the heater panel. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'll feel good turning their light off tonight.

Thank you! I was hoping that since our house stays a nice 60-70 degrees they could start adjusting to not having the heat light on all day. The house fire article spooked me a little.

It's been at about 90-95 since they came home directly under the light. Their roosting pole (the favorite area for all of them) is at 80 degrees. We have 2 RIR, 2 Brahmas, and 2 Wyandottes

I'll start with apologizing if this is already been discussed 100 times. My husband and I are new to raising chicks and in light of a new article it's raised a couple questions. My fingers crossed girls are approximately six weeks and are pretty close to being fully feathered (not much...
