Thanks for letting me know AZKat!

Of course it is the friendliest peeper...

She definitely has an eye infection - I can smell it.

3 large drops of whitish liquid fell from here eye when I picked her up this morning.

Saline rinse & neosporin and I started Duramyicine in her water.

Poor peeper.

She seems pretty weak, not at all active.

Oh no! I hope you see a quick response with the meds.

Oh no. Hope she gets to feeling better soon.

Dear Mikey's chick, get better soon!

Thinking about you and the chick Mikey. Keep us posted and we hope she has a speedy recovery!

Do chickens naturally just drop feathers. I have been finding feathers in my coop and run. The chicks are 12 weeks old tomorrow so I know it isn't molting. The feathers I keep finding are soft and fluffy like down so I'm wondering if it is just their baby feathers falling out while the mature feathers come in? There is no pecking going on. All 4 of my girls get along well (I think), and I don't see any mites, fleas or anything like that. Just wondering if shedding a little is normal.

ARIZONACHICKENS- I like the Brinsea 20. Much better hatch rate than the other incubators I have tried.

Has anyone ever tried a Farm Innovators incubator?? Plastic Incubator+fan+turner on sale now for $119. Great price and not Styrofoam?? http://www.randallburkey.com/Farm-Innovators-Pro-Series-Incubator-w_-Turner/productinfo/10434

It has me curious.

Mikey: I'm so sorry to hear about your sick chick, I hope she gets better soon.

In2ice: That sounds perfectly normal. They usually go through a 'mini-molt' at about that age, as they get close to full size.

I went to Mahonri's today, and picked up nine little cockerels. The older ones are two months old, and the younger are a month old. My plan, up until the time I actually saw them, had been to raise them for meat, and butcher them in a couple of months. Once I got there, I found out that four of the two month olds are Icelandics, and the four one month olds are Wheaten Ameraucanas. I'm a bit reluctant to just eat such rare and beautiful cockerels, so if anyone is interested, please let me know. If you take them in the next week or so, I'll let you have them for free. If I need to keep them longer, I'll ask for a few bucks to pay for their feed.

Thanks AZBOOTSIE! I was also looking at the 20 ex because it has the humidity reading, too. I need it as easy as possible! I'll take a look at the link you posted. The Brinsea are so darn expensive. Ugh!
