Tracy - they seem OK to me, though my only basis for comparison is the other 8. They are not running but are active and are scratching around. So far so good.

I'm doing battle with the light. I had it aimed at an angle and it only get's up to around 90. I put it in horizontal (aimed straight down) with the lid half on and it heated up well. I moved it back, temp dropped to 90 & chickes are huddled, not clumped, just huddled. - need more heat.

OK - gave em some more American cheese & the Cornish are running around also.

***Edited for update purposes***

Mikey, make sure you are giving them chick grit if you are feeding something other than chick mash or crumbles. They need it to break down their food.

Thanks Pastry! - they are getting Kruse organic (A la Meg Moringa Seed!

) feed / starter.

Although from what Becky found out I need to find some broiler feed quite soon!

And how am I supposed to keep the cornish out of the layers & visa versa?

(Please, please, please don't say separate living quarters! please say you know a magic spell to bewtich them into eating the correct food

)

How cute! Since when do you have chicks? Your mom looks like a BAMF!

I got them yesterday on the way to my welding class.

Thanks for the compliment, I'll pass it on to mom, 'though I guess she would be technically classified as a BAFF!

Awesome!

Keep in mind I'm a noob & cannot decipher initials yet...What kind are the black ones and do your production reds have chipmunk stripes on their backs?

Oh and I wanted to share that my RIR laid her first egg this morning!

She is almost 22 weeks.
