Terror fear anger angst extreme relief
This is what I went through when I went to do chores about an hr ago, walking to the barn and out pups Fluffy from the brush in front of the barn.
To say I ran to scoop her up was an understatement - I galloped across the yard. She didn’t even protest, she looked up at me and I know she was thinking ‘Hooman you’re a moron’.
I remember trying to get Mr P into the summer house and Fluffy running out between my legs, and I thought - I’ll just grab her after I get the Roo settled. Well I got distracted putting everyone else where they should be, and did my headcount of the main gang.
I really need to rehome Bert, having to move two flocks around is not working - I am not set up for separate flocks. And I don’t want to be. The two Roos are still fighting, through the fence now. Darn that Bert, and darn Mr P.
Is this what I will have to put up with when Mr LC come of age? How is it others have multiple Roos that get along? What on earth set Mr P and Bert off anyways? They were getting on really well. And it was like a switch went off. They just started fighting

Please educate me since we've never used heat for any baby chicks before. The last decade prior to this year's colder season we've had such bad heatwaves (some years from April thru November) we never needed chick heat. Also we kept chicks indoors anyway. The heat source in the pics is placed on cardboard. How safe are the manufacturer's recommendations for installing on cardboard? I mean I'm by no means a brooder expert and it's strange to see something electrical on something potentially flammable. Educate me all you brooder experts

I have mine on shavings bedding. I plugged mine back in last night as it was only 8C over night (crazy temp swings this summer), and tonight supposed to only be 9C.Please educate me since we've never used heat for any baby chicks before.

But I may go out and unplug it as they look too warm. Better to be a bit chilly that over heat.
Anyways as I stated I use shavings bedding, the chicks like to hop ontop of the brooder and poop on it. Yuck! So I clean it off every day with a scraper. The brooder is made for use in the pen with the wee ones. I just would t get it wet or use it in a location where it gets wet potentially.
I guess they can move out from under it if too warm…

One time I made a comment about a grape tasting like the way hose water smelled. I ended up getting every one a lecture on not drinking from the hose (the 2010s were different than the 1980s).So do I.
Awesome! I’ll be sure to check inThe party has been moved to tomorrow morning because of some difficulties with attendees. It's going to be so much fun!
