It was! I don't use heat lamps any more. I had the lamp sitting on top of a concrete block so it couldn't get jostled or fall, or burn chicks. Also, I was using a heavy cord.

Just seeing this reply. Well this little bantam has hatched 5 more clutches. She is the broody Queen! The ISA Browns in the pics I ended up with 3 hens and 1 roo. The heat lamp was sitting on top of a concrete block so it couldn't possibly fall or get jostled or burn any chicks. I don't use...

Awe, shucks.

Hey all, my Bantam Cochin just hatched her first clutch? is that the word. Anyway she has 5 little cuties. One egg was hers and Donald Trump's (my granddaughter named our Red Bantam Silky that because he looks like him, lol.) Anyway one is hers and the Bantam Rooster. It is the black one in...

My little Bantam Cochin hatched hers yesterday....I wasn't expecting until today, but I guess she can't count, lol. But I left her on the next yesterday (just peeked under to see how many had hatched.) Moved her today. She was setting in a foot tub (like you get in the hospital) inside the...

Wish I had found this before I spent $50 on a heated waterer! I may take it back - just purchased today!

Thanks all!

My chicken, Eugene , just died for no apparent reason. I'm not even sure if Eugene was a pullet or a roo. Think he was a roo because he and my other roo were starting to chest bump. Barred rock about 4 months old. Anyway, just yesterday I found him lethargic in the barn. I assumed heat, so I...

My tractor supply did not have any. I looked there.

I have a Jumbo Pekin Drake who just came up lame yesterday. Barely using his right foot or leg. I picked him up and saw no visible damage. I've read that Jumbo's can have leg problems. I know no reason he should be limping except perhaps genetic deficiency or maybe hurt himself getting in or...

I'm a new member to this site but have used it for reference about 5 months now. Just re-entering the "farming" life. Although having 2 1/2 acres just inside Jefferson County is a lot different than growing up on over 200 acres. But at 63 years of age, 2 1/2 acres is about all I want. I'm...

I grew up on a farm. We raised hogs, cattle, had some riding horses and chickens. I moved away about 20 years ago and have always missed it. Well, bought 2 1/2 acres just inside the Jefferson County line in Kentucky. Love it. Got me some chickens and ducks! Now, when I was a kid, we had...
