I'm not sure where to post this, but you guys are amazing with replies! I got my 7 silkies today, I'm getting 8 Cochins next Wednesday and 15 barred rocks are being shipped May 22nd. What should I do about integration? Since all my babies have made it through this yucky day, I'm on to my next fear!

Going to try to make it Sat. Is POOPS going to be at the sale barn? If nothing major happens to the trucks or equipment I should be in the clear.

BScott you will get a few different opinions on integration. My biggest concern would be the need to quarentine them. If they came from the same source I would prob toss them in the same brooder & see what happens. My theory is that the silkies will have gotten older & the chicks will be equal in size.

Those worried about keeping chicks warm at poops, I use hand warmers in boxes. There are some outlets, but I am guessing you will need at least 100+ ft of ext cord from outlet to where you will be set up. We don't want a repeat of Fletcher poops, where chicks were not surviving through the day.

Yes they're all coming from the same source. That's why I got my banny's first so they'll be bigger when my BR's get here. I'm starting to calm down a little. I just hope I can sleep tonight with it being their first night here and it being so dang cold!

I may be on the extreme side but I still have two week old chicks in my house under a lamp. They will go to the outdoor brooder in a few days when my next ones hatch.

It`s all good here and yourself? Are you hatching any Brazilians this year?

Good Friday Morning to all!

It`s a nipplely 37°F here this morning! I can`t remember every being this cold this late in the season! We were planning on going to the Bixby BBQ and Blues Festival tomorrow but with a 40% chance of rain and a high of 56°F....I think we will pass on that!

I hope y`all have a great weekend!
