    Cornish X and layers in the same brooder?

    Thanks for the reply! hah! "Wing it". I see what you did there. I don't have a thermometer in the brooder - I'm sort of going by chicken activity. they are spread out throughout the brooder and seem pretty active, so I figure they are ok. the Cornish X - it's hard to tell with them. I...

    Cornish X and layers in the same brooder?

    We've got 6 Cornish X and 6 layers - barred rocks and Ameraucanas. They are all the same age and we got them the same day. Holy Cow! The Cornish X are scary, they are growing so fast. They are easily twice the size of the others. My concern is that they seem to be overheating a little, but...

    Are chicks at your store yet?

    Our feed store wasn't expecting them for another month at least, but they shipped early, so they came in last week. I wasn't quite ready to get them yet, but what the heck, I went ahead and picked them up anyway. Now I need to get my coop built in a hurry before they are ready to go out!

    baby is plucking itself

    Hi all. I think this might be my first post here! I've had chickens in the past, but never babies, so this is new to me. We just got a dozen chicks last Friday - 6 Cornish X, 3 Barred Rocks and 3 Ameraucanas and they all seem pretty healthy. They are up and running about in the brooder and...
