Raising Baby Chick-Along

[rjohns39]

That's what the article suggested as well (and how we took care of the badly deformed chicks that hatched), and I was trying to find that particular article to post on the new thread. It was well done, and I'd like folks to have access to it.

Little Chicken embryos never cease to amaze me! 1 dozen eggs, were cartoned up, and put in the fridge for eating on Wednesday. I took them to church Sunday for a family who didn't come. I put them in the trunk of my car and forgot about them until almost 11pm in the 107 degree heat. Well, I couldn't just toss them, and I didn't really want to try eating them. So, into the incubator they went. 5 days later, 8 of them are developing!! What??!!! These are going to be tough little chicks!

Oh my!! Keep us posted!!

Something must have gone wonky with copy and paste. Yours works though...

Welp, on Wednesday Im expecting 12 little cheepers to come into the world, and I'm probably going to modify their brooder coop so I can add a little doorway in the main door so the chicks can come in and out as pleased on their first day of life. I'm also trying the heating pad method since I had TWO heat lamps explode in a row on 5 week old chicks that were already introduced to the outside.

Oh my goodness! Good luck!

Looking forward to moving my chicks into the temporary pen in the coop. They are getting crowded, and the temperature is going up and down. Tomorrow i need to do the touch up painting in the coop. And put the nest boxes in the holes we cut so nothing can get in. Perches need to get finished up. And their light bulb will need to go in , in case it is cool out. Hopefully i can get all that done tomorrow.

I picked up 4 Aussie chicks yesterday, 1 and 3 weeks old. Temporary coop is no problem, still had all the stuff from the first chicks earlier this year. I love the sound of those tiny little peeps in the morning!

Strange but true: I had to tell HE that we should NOT order more chicks right now!

I know. Can't believe (A) that I'm saying no to more of any animal and (B) that it's HE that wants more chicks. I did check around for a giant alien pod. Nope. Must still be him. Still, it's very weird.

I only got the babies because my grandson is going to try out 4H this year. My birds wouldn't take kindly to being manhandled too much. However, once they were here I couldn't help but love em!
