Crowing
Not literally of course. I had 10 babies a few weeks ago until a lady over on our neighboring street had her dogs loose (not the first time either but the first time they came to our neck of the woods). All my babies were slaughtered. No blood no nothing. Just all dead in the yard the next morning, chicken run cage bashed in. They even got my neighbor's roo, whom we adopted as our own step baby. Dogs in question were in the yard still when I opened the door for the day to go do the chick feed.
Fast forward to now. Last Wednesday we brought home 7 new babies. All pullets. And one 7 month old roo. The lady at the hatchery was talked me into seeing the roosters and I grabbed one okay? Lol.
I was wondering if anyone had any pointers on raising babies in the fall? I live in South Carolina. Weather is 50s and 60s at night, and during the day it is maybe 75 to 85 still. Doesn't get really cool here during the day until late November.
Currently my fluffy babies are a week old Gove or take a few days. They are in an indoor brooder. Aka storage box with lamp and food and water. They use the wood flakes for bedding.
