She seems to be fine now. Sorry, I panicked a little. (why isn't there an "embarrassed" smiley?)

There was only one drop of blood. I wiped it off with a paper towel and put a tiny bit of bacitracin on it and it seemed to stop completely.
I just seemed to remember reading something about if you pull off the umbilical, the chick is doomed.
Of course, I did it just as I had to run out the door and I didn't have time to do a search.

I'm down to 6 chicks now. I delivered 4 to my friend who ordered with me and 3 to Tracy.

I'll try to get pictures tomorrow, but it's another busy day. I'm sure I'll be able to do it Saturday at the latest.
In the meantime, this is a fun thread: I posted Daisy pictures. (she's an Ideal 236, our favorite right now)

Becky,

I guess I just missed you again! Sorry, couldn't wait - duty called.

Yeah, I seem to be following you.

Yea Mikey!!!! They are every bit as cute as you think they are. I even saw a baby stink eye. Fluffyliciousness.

Woo Hoo! Mikey D!

Congratulations on the chicks and thanks for sharing the pictures, they are so cute. What did you decide for bedding, am I seeing rice hulls there?

Does any one know where I can get some bales of grass or food for cattle maybe from some one who grows it or so? I am getting mini cows and need to find some where I can get a bale for less than $12. If any one knows anything please send me a pm or something.

Thnx

I do not know what it costs but there are a multitude of feed stores in and around Mesa. Higley feeds (Williamsfield just west of Higley) B-B (Ironwood just south of Apache) Superstition (Idaho just south of University)

Good luck!

they start at around $14 a bale. the $12 is from a farmer that grows it.
