    Baby Chicks Shipping During Heatwave!

    I'm so glad your chicks made it ok! Good idea to find out their shipping routes just incase there is a delay! I have already let my local post office know & they said they would call me as soon as they got there. Very nerve racking!

    My first hatch was during a snow storm and we lost power for 3 days so my grandmother heated some water on the propane burner, put it in a heating pad, and laid it over the eggs to keep them warm.

    setting eggs tonight!! anyone else?

    Also, if it's intestinal related you can put some "food-grade" DE in their feed. That's what I use in their coop. It's even safe for humans to eat but make sure it says "food-grade". It will make them sick if it's not.

    setting eggs tonight!! anyone else?

    2 years ago one of my roosters had a fungus on one of his toes and it swelled up and was red. I was keep their coop very clean but they're outside most of the day. I went to the feed store and bought blue kote and sprayed that on it everynight while he was roosting. Cleared it right up. Good luck!
