[VIDEO]

An older video, this was Connie and Bess with their first hatch, they co raised the chicks and another of their sisters hatched 4 or 5 days later and joined them, so 3 hens raised like 15 chicks together.

Poor Mindy finally had to sit up when the pecking on her head got a bit rough, can't hardly blame her, lol.

And Happy Valentine's Day to you! 

@fisherlady
,  the shiping update says the eggs are out for delivery today.  I will still pop them in with a few of my girls' eggs as a precaution.  Should I candle them before I put them in? I think someone mentioned about checking the air cells or something.  :confused:

Personally, at this point, I would just put them in and hope for the best. Normally, I would check air cells and let them rest 24 hours but they've been delayed so long that I wouldn't wait.

Radioman looked at tracking at 0600 and it had a note that delivery was delayed and wouldn't arrive on scheduled day. REALLY!?!?! And at that time it was listed as enroute to Philadelphia too!

We raise all of our chicks on sand, most in coop with broodies and some in brooder for a week or two before going to coop (our meat birds). We have never had any problems with it. You can add hardware cloth to a cat litter scoop or a dust pan you cut the bottom out of to use to sift the sand. The sand makes it easy to scatter seeds or treats over wide area to encourage scratching behavior (a good exercise habit for meat birds to get into) and we have not noticed any digestive problems from it.[/quote]

Like the modified cat litter scoop. I sacrificed a big pasta strainer and get dust everywhere!
