Oh no!!!  Some parts of our surrounding areas had some wicked wind.  We didn't get the wind too bad here in Plant City.  I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry to here you lost some of your babby

I am so sad this morning. No matter how nicely and warm I put my two months old chicks last night, the wind knocked out the panels and they got wet. 20 plus died.

. So disappointed.

OMG! I would be so devastated! :-( It was really windy around here for about an hour. Came out of nowhere! Wow! My chicks were in the coop inside the house, thank goodness. I was watching them on the baby monitor and when a loud thunder came in they FREAKED out! Weird weather....


So sorry for your loss:-(

Re: the Organic feed...If we can get enough people to buy a pallet a month, we can get it shopped here. I use two bags a month. The coast is around $30 a nag, but we worth it for Orgsnic, non GMO, no corn, no soy.

So sorry for the loss of you chicks last night!

A BABY MONITOR in the coop!? I hadn't thought of that! How totally awesome. (I'm new here and don't have my chicks yet...they come in about 2 weeks).

Hehe yup! It has night vision, I can pan it everywhere, and it displays the temperature. Oh and I can talk to them which I do ALL the time!


Under the EcoGlow Brooder....night vision!



In the day time, the screen is SO clear, this was taken with my phone so you can't really tell!




Here are a couple from last night, first time watching them sleep on a perch!





And they are done! HA! Long day....


My cat sits and watches them on it too. I find him like this all the time. He'd never hurt them, he wants to hang out with them!
Look at the paw, ha ha ha!




I think a baby monitor is a wonderful idea. I've learned so much about their personalities this way, their sleep patterns, the funny things they do at night....I've watched them fall asleep, have chick dreams, wake up and get all excited....and I've trained them to my voice. A must have in my opinion. So glad I did it!!!! I will be installing it in the coop outside when they are older, for sure....!

Edit: Whoops, forgot to say congrats on the new chicks....even if you don't have them yet. Are they your first ones?

I've never actually seen them sleeping on a perch. It just looks so uncomfortable!

I know right?! How they balance, so neat! But last night their little heads were drooping so low, all of a sudden I hear a THUD on the monitor. Audrey the BA must have fallen down....and since it was dark she screamed and yelled because she couldn't get back up to Ellie the EE. I had to run in and lift her back up, LOL!
