Silkies a friend sent me eggs, I screwed up the hatch and he had 6 hatch out. I ordered chicks though, because I dont want to end up with all boys and all girls, the number six is not good to start out with lol. it was too hot to ship chicks until recently so she may be able to soon before it gets hot again.

trying to get the video to load on my internet will take ten or so minutes. but thank you for sharing it with us ahead of time!

how many chickens do you have now? Can you process and eat any if so what is the way you can do so?

I hatched 3 months ago, and it was the lousiest hatch ever! I have recived some lousy eggs AND got only 2 chicken both cockerles. One buff Sussex and one Vorwerk. I am trying to sell them, if not they will be nice supper.
They will be dispatched in our traditional way.

would you like me to make a spritz bottle of essential oils and send them? you should not use anything but natural right now. I have citronella, Lavender, Lemon Eucalyptus, & Rosemary to make a natural bug spray, I am not sure that the plastic cobalt blue bottles I have will work to send it to you, I think stored in a glass spritz bottle is best. I will order some from amazon today and they will come tomorrow. should I make one bottle or two? they will only be a few oz each, 4 oz at most, it should go a long way. @kwhites634

I appreciate the thought, but there's no sense in you going through all that.

Not all that hot here, but the humidity is bad. Gnats are a royal PITA; haven't found anything that works for long.

You need more bats.

Can someone tell me if this chick is a lost cause? He had pasty butt and I soaked it with a warm wet paper towel. I got it mostly clean and then he started passing backed up waste, like crazy, which worried me because of the volume. But once he was done I noticed what appears to be intestines hanging from the vent. Everything I see with a prolapsed vent looks much less serious that this, or maybe I am just freaking out. I swear this last hatch nothing has gone right.

Those bowel loops look ischemic/dead.
Little hope I fear even if they go back inside.
