You should do another batch! I'm on my second batch this year, and am thinking of doing a third when these are gone (like you, mid-August). We buy 1/4 of a cow every year & with all this chicken we are looking into getting another chest freezer for all this meat! Plan is to never buy...

Trust me....after you get that 1 bite in with some mashed potatoes, you'll forget feeling bad! :D

Maybe...and this is total speculation.... Maybe it's too cool for them yet to spend too much time outside? Some time outside could be ok (I haven't let mine out yet), but maybe the one that died got too cool? Tomorrow ours should be of age to have the brooder at 85 degrees. I'm having a bit...

What's the outside temp where you are? When it gets pretty hot here....like over 80 degrees (past few days its been mild though), I put powerade in their water regardless for the electrolytes. Sorry to hear about the chick :(

Haha..if you think they run to you now when they're hungry, wait till they're 6,7,8 weeks old & it's time for breakfast! :P

Cool videos! It's funny when you put them in a new surrounding/area they stay all together until one or two decide to venture off. I haven't tried to offer them watermelon yet. But maybe now I will try.

Both batches are doing well thanks. My first batch will be 8 weeks old on Tuesday (butchering Wednesday). My second batch will be 1week old tomorrow ( same as yours). With my 1st batch, I marked a random chick with blue food colouring on the back of its neck the second day we had them & took...

Good to hear. With my first batch a few months ago, I had a chick that was much smaller than the rest too. It would eat/drink, but just stood there with its eyes closed, or would huddle with the other chicks. Didn't do anything else, no exploring, no playing. Well it eventually died. Your...

Sorry to hear you lost a chick :( How are the rest doing?

Definitely entertaining! I spend way too much time sitting & watching them.

Congrats on your new chickens! I just picked up 36 (ordered 35, plus 1 special) on Monday. This is my second batch this year. My first batch is almost ready for butcher. Have fun!
