Thanks, Moly! I'm OK though, really. I know those little d'uccles are difficult. The first time I got chicks (from MPC) I had 6 mixed and two were d'uccles and one didn't make it.

It's my fault--at least partially--because I didn't have my usual brooder set up (was kind of a last minute impulse thing) and made a kinda of ghetto brooder that wasn't optimal. Today I'm going back to my old brooder setup which is way better.

You guys would be proud of me! After I got them settled in I went to TSC to pick up some more food. And they had baby chicks. And there's supposed to be a five chick minimum but the manager said I could just buy one or two if I wanted cuz I told him all about my chickens, lol. I actually resisted the mighty, powerful urge (I NEED BABY CHICKS RIGHT INTO MY VEINS, NOW!!!!) to get a couple more. It was hard.

It is Spring like weather here so wanting baby chicks is very normal...for us chicken obsessed people!

Did I tell you guys I rehomed my cockerel, Tio, yesterday? This nice, crazy chicken lady and her partner (I think) adopted him. They have a flock of 6 hens that needed a roo. They showed me pics of their hens and from the way they talk it's obvious they love their chickens. I hope he likes his new home.

Now I just have three roos (my two Serama boys, who are bonded) and Skinny Pete, AKA Freakfoot, who will be going in with the big girls in a few days. And that is plenty of males for me!

My little porcelain d'Uccle didn't make it. :(

I think she got wet and chilled overnight. I tried to TLC her, warm her in my boobs, Nutridrench, but she just died.

The other two are doing great though! Vey active and spunky.

Here is a pic of my cuckoo marans. I'm calling her Cookie for now.

Sorry you lost one, i hate that. If a chick gets chilled i just stick it in the incubator for a while.
