We hatched them & had them in the house under a 100 watt bulb until I put them outside in a coop with a light about a week & half ago. It got 39* overnight 2 nights ago & they seemed cold the next morning. I put a heat lamp in but the Bantam died yesterday. The AG cross seems a little lethargic...
Bee I've got a question: I have 3 -7 week old chicks & the Bantam died yesterday, I think she got too cold. The AG cross isn't acting real spry today, I just picked it up & it has a hard lump on the front of its neck right below its head, that seems to high to be the crop?, I guess it will...
thanks again to AL for that marvelous thread that still makes me giggle when I think about it - but I want to know about rooster-to-rooster, mano-a-mano, and inter-flock behavior that is acceptable.
Where do I find this thread your talking about? I have an OEGB roo that has become unbearable...
Painted Desert sheep would be a good choice too :)
