Hello,
I purchased 50 chicks with a friend. We lost 2 the first few hours, by drowning in the water thingy (that was not suppose to allow any drownings) then, steamed some by not venting well, having to do cpr on 25, and a handy hair blower, dried and warmed up the little gals.
Later, once again they got all wet, and had to do cpr once again, and dry them off. Our friend took 25, well 26, and put a dish of water in my bin, and accidentally set it on 1, and then 2 more drowned. My hubby had to warm and fluff the 21 left. Our friend took his away, and mine have done well. We put them in their brand new pen a few days ago, and they are having fun, and growing.
Any suggestions are welcomed, as we are very new to this, wanting to raise them organically. They are layer/meat birds.
Our friend gave us 2 full grown hens, and two roosters, however that has not gone very well.
Brightest of Blessings,
