I had this exact situation! 1 of 4 hatched. I bought 2 to go with it, and it didn't work out. The two new ones were killed. Hope you can figure it out.

That is so sad - how is your little survivor doing?

okay looking at the Elizabeth website and made my dision... i want them all! but Huby said NO! Adam7 you said will be going up their around the mar 1st? if i pitch in some gas money can we car pool? i would really like to go and see the store. i can only get seven more and i dont want all of the same breed so looking at their list for Mar 1st i picked five breeds that are going to be at Elizabeth but the other two breeds and going to be at Kiowa. I'll make the trip ether way but i think it will be fun to go with others.

Has anyone use a PVC pipe feeder? What are the cons to the pipe feeder setup, if any?

Double post, sorry. Not use to the phone app.

WOW, my phone camera is junk.

Thanks guys, I am doing well aside from insomnia (though I got almost 5 hours last night, so that was good!). The two chicks with yoke issues are doing better as well. I should be able to move them to the brooder tonight. I will probably list them Wednesdayish at the earliest to make sure they are fully healthy.

I will also be picking up RIR and buff brahma eggs Wednesday. Cross your fingers for me. I think local eggs will help a lot.

I have a home made pvc pipe feeder set up. It works great. I will post up some pics this evening if you would like. I went from the chickens wasting a lot of food to them wasting very little.

i am trying to make a flock with dual purpose so these are the breeds we have disided on: new Hampshire, SLW, cuckoo marans, araucana/americana, gold star, production red, and a plymouth rock. i plan to use them for eggs for the moment. but i want the ability to switch when we need to so I am looking for good size in the birds but they have to be good layers. are there any pros or cons with any of these breeds?
