@lazy gardener Thank you, this is so helpful!! I'm excited to try them out on a bit of scrambled egg! I will also check out your feed about FF. :)

Sounds like Nutri-Drench is the way to go. Also, you have to make the fermented feed yourself, right? I'll look into that! With the scrambled eggs, do you just put a small dish of them in the brooder, all chopped up? And they'll just go after it?

Do you suspend the heating pad somehow so they get under it like they would a hen? Or do you just lay it on the floor of the brooder?

How does the sand help? Does it work as chick grit?

Hi there! This is my first year raising chicks, and I have read so much that I'm a little overwhelmed! I have six chicks that are about three weeks old in a large brooder in my garage, and 9 chicks that are all around 1 week old (little more, little less). We have a GREAT BIG coop and run for...

We got them from a lady in our area who sells them. She had quite a mix of chickens, so I wondered if maybe they were mixed.

Yes the greyish/lavender one IS noticeably smaller than the others...I was worried at first, but she's healthy, so banty makes sense!!

Cute, cute!! How did you make their roosting bar? Mine desperately need one! :-) TIA!

@lazygardener When you give them the sod, do you also add Corid to their water? I've read that the chicks can get a parasite that lives in the soil, and Corid keeps them from getting sick? I love the idea of giving my chicks some soil from the backyard, to get used to, like you said...but I'm...

Posted this Tuesday but the pics weren't working, and then I think it just got too far down on the forum for anyone to see the post. Hopefully this time the imgur will work and I'll get some answers! :-) We just added these five little gals to our brooder. The problem is, I'd like to know if...

Well, it died in my hands about 10 minutes ago. :-( Such is the life of a chicken lady. Thanks for your help, anyway.

Oh, and every once in a while she'll shake her head around kinda violently like she's trying to wake herself up, but then goes back to laying still... :-(

I have a week old chick that was fine this morning when I checked on them all, but when I got home, it was laying down and wouldn't run around anymore. I checked and it had a little bit of pasty butt so I cleaned that up. She seemed to start to feel more heavy in my hand (less of that lifeless...

Oh yeah, over the past year we've completely overhauled our coop and run area. Thanks!

Hey I made an imgur album. Let me know if it doesn't work for you. And thanks.

Thank you for letting me know!! I've tried to attach them a few different ways...it still doesn't seem to be working. Hopefully I'll get it right in a minute!

We just added these five little gals (I hope lol) to our brooder. The problem is, I'd like to know if anybody can tell me what breeds they might be? We bought them from a local woman, and she said at least three are RIR but I do NOT think she was right, so now I really don't know what I've got...
