Mother2Hens- Thanks! I am actually studying nursing here at the University of Evansville. And I agree with you, it was a gorgeous day! I've heard of the hydroplane races that used to be here on the river, but the only races I've seen have been in Madison. My family had a lot of fun going to them a couple times, but I don't think it's ever going to be as fun as it used to be. My brother keeps asking about the chickens and I think he's convinced that it won't happen because we have to wait for the new house to be ready. But I'm continuing to gather up all the info I can from here in between my assignments and tests! The semester is coming to an end and summer cannot come fast enough!

Well I've lost 3 now. The guinnies aren't looking good! Now they are all crying. Heat is good. I've done everything the same as the last 27!! I've been looking up everything I can think of! Giving them fresh mash. It's the same food as all of them get. Ideas?

I was experiencing some pasty butt with a few chicks. What I found worked best was apple cider vinegar in the water. It pretty much was eliminated for me the next day after adding ACV.

Danand: I'm so sorry to hear about your situation! I am new at this so I don't know what would help, but I hope you find an answer soon!

I put some powdered milk on their feed and put a couple spoons of cottage cheese on a plate, let it get room temp then sprinkled chick starter on it. Cleared them right up in 2-3 days.

Yet again, a few days online and the thread explodes... 9 pages to scroll through!

Welcome to the thread Freeflyin!

AATH and Animallover - I live right at 21st and Post... so I guess another neighbour huh! Small world.

Bloonskiller911 - I am still have issues with pasty butt on one chick. Driving me crazy. Have been putting the ACV in the water, which has helped a little, but he is still requiring a butt wash daily. Which is an improvement over the four times a day he was getting. All of the chicks I picked up from TSC have suffered pasty butt.

EDIT- Appranently Animallover lives no where near me... Thats what I get for reading but noy paying attention. They both live in areas that are right by me... just wrong city.. DOH
