***03/26/12 UPDATE Chicks new home!!!***
We built a nice brooder box so that when these chicks grow up we can take it apart and store it and use it another time if need be we built the brooder in the new coop and moved them out there...they love it because it is nearly 2x as big as what they had before...they are all doing great in there!

***04/03/12 UPDATE some sick chicks!***
yesterday we noticed that we have a couple of congested sounding chicks....we went to TSC and got some Save-a-chick and Duramycin because that is what the manager that has a bunch of chickens at home recommended to do...She said they might not live and in a few days we should know if they are going to live or not...so

fingers crossed hoping for the best.

***04/08/12 UPDATE Getting better!!!***
So has you know we went to TSC and got some Save-a-chick and Duramycin on 04/03/12. We mixed those up in all of there waters for 3 days and now they are doing much better they still have a little wheez but not as bad as what it was so hopefully we won't loose any.

But hey all seem to be doing great running around fighting eating and drinking so that is a good sign
