Hatch has begun :-D

I was thinking about him early this morning. Wondering if any has an address or phone number or email? I don't even know where he is from? Or his real name? J? Law? Are those his initials? Etc. Etc.

Real name is Josh. He's in Forestville.

If I wasn't so busy and leaving on Monday I'd drive out and see if I can find him.

I can always use a road trip.

Update on the silkie chick that had that attack. I'm fairly sure she slammed her head or got pecked hard and has lasting neurological issues. No more circle turning, but she has a head twitch - her head is just constantly twitching around. She eats and drinks fine, so I'm not going to cull, and since the circles stopped, it could be that she's getting better over time and that the head twitch will stop too. Only time will tell. I'm still giving her extra vitamins, since it can't hurt.

Poor thing...Hope she comes around!

For heaven's sake, I am NEVER going to get this run built. Finally got the wood, and now my drill battery won't charge

I just got 7 New Hampshire Red chicks from Agway.  No clue how many days old they are when they get delivered, but guessing they are in their first few days.  First time raising new chicks, hoping they all do well.  Temp seems right and they seem happy.  Stressing out over them though.

Welcome to BYC! You'll do fine with the chicks and there is a lot of info on here to help you. If you have any questions just post here and we'll answer the best we can. Chickens are fun and addicting once you get started.

Pharkas--I have a buff rosecomb leghorn roo if you're interested. I have another roo in that pen so i can't say i have pure eggs and the hens are straight comb leghorns.

So all 7 of our 7 hatched, hatch number 2 is tomorrow! They're adorable I'm
Going to try and feather sex them lol and then see how I did. Its not going to be perfect- some of the breeds probably won't allow it at all but worth a shot

Well you are not alone. My drill died right in the middle of my rearranging the roost.

What kind do you have? The battery is good. At least one of the two I have left. I have two chargers and two batteries, but the batteries don't last forever.

I'm looking to get a corded set.

I ended up using nails to put it up real quick. Manual Hammers don't lose power unless I do.

I have a Craftsman. After much fighting with it, the battery decided it would charge again, thank goodness. But now I can't find my hammer
