Hello, Jo, and welcome to BYC.

Isn't it amazing how easy it is to become attached to the little ones? I hope Cady pulls through, but it's not unusual to lose very young babies through no fault of your own.

I enjoyed looking at the photos of the celebs and their namesake chicks. Very creative.

However, when you say you got your "final three" chicks, I'm not sure you understand chicken math. I have gotten my "final" chicks more times than I can count .

Welcome to BYC! Keep us posted on Cady, please. (BTW, I just watched that movie again a couple of weeks ago; still love some of those scenes).

I woke up on this Mother’s Day morning asking my husband to go look in the brooder tent because I didn’t want to see Cady passed (hubby grew up on a farm so

I woke up on this Mother’s Day morning and asked my husband to go check the brooder because I didn’t want to see Cady passed (hubby grew up on a farm so he sees animal deaths as a part of life, but I am brand new to this and get attached to every one) but to our surprise she was on top of the brooder plate leaning on one of her siblings — I’m still super worried because she’s just DIFFERENT from the others (walks strange, pecks at the rim of the feeder but misses the food often, doesn’t play, sleeps a LOT) but grateful she made it through the night. I see some pasty butt forming so I’m about to soak her tush in warm water.

My 12 year old daughter came up with most of the names, but I admit she was spot on for some of them!

We’ve learned about chicken math early I suppose — we were never going to have more than 4!

Welcome to BYC, Jo. Try giving Cady some electrolytes. You may have to use a dropper, and just drop a single drop onto her beak. Best of luck with your chicks!

She’s taking the electrolytes fairly well!

this post is a dream. I especially love the Gaga and Julia Fox chicks. But I think you might need a Lana Del Ray in the future. congrats on your flock! I’m so sorry about Cady!

This is a big Lana-loving household, so inevitably we’ll end up with a Lana haha!

So nice to meet you, Jo. I am so sorry about your Cady chick. Try JanieDoe's suggestion, but keep in mind CallenderGirl's wise comment that some chicks die despite the very best care. Best wishes for all your plans!
