    Quote: I do add a squirt of dawn to my scalding water, and to my first dunk bucket. The last two buckets that I dunk them in (I'm a dunker...I probably waaaay over dunk...over swish and over spray to get them clean...but I can't help it...) are just plain water...no dawn dish soap. Jessa

    EE and Red mix....Are we boys or girls and who is my mommy?

    I have posted on these before, but am now breaking the posts up as the chicks get older instead of listing all 8 together. This week I have Evelyn and Paris. I think Evelyn is a EE rooster, but she/he looks awfully feminine. I know very little about EE's, tho I am trying awfully hard to...

    Quail haven't laid in 7+ weeks?...

    Quote: No Ma'am, they are not molting. When the days get shorter, and, for instance my chickens slow with laying, I've never added a light because I've always felt bad...like I'd be cracking the whip so to say "You WILL lay me an egg daily...get back in your laying box!" ....I just usually...

    Two Red chickens... what am I?

    When can I start letting them out?

    Quote: Mine have access to heat lamp in the brooder (brooder is outside) until they are 2 weeks. Even when they are outside those first 2 weeks (except for on the 80+) days, I always have a heat lamp clipped nearby incase they need it, and often 5 or 6 of them will huddle under it even tho...
