@Ruby: The black chick had a bad naval but the worst was the brown 1. He's still alive and causing trouble, lol. His favorite thing to do is wait til all the others are eating and he'll run into them all and knock them out of the way. It's funny when it happens cause he's so fast its like 1 minute he's in the middle of the brooder and then a split second later he's across the brooder and 2 or 3 of the other chicks have been knocked over.

Chick bowling. I had a chick from MMc that had peritonitis. Outward appearances, looked fine, then it started swelling up and got puffy. Kept getting bigger and more mushy. Found it on it's back, dead. IMO it was peritonitis.

OMG Adorable!     So dang cute.  How old are they?  

Thanks! They were born mid June. They all get along good so I was thinking of keeping them till spring, more bodies will be more warmth, right? Then keeping my white cockerel and one of the new male babies. But come spring, a few boys will have to go.

I just love your silkies!

I can't wait for you to hatch them!!

I know. It's terrible to say but if I had gotten another 1 just like him it would've made it a little easier, it would've still been sad but just a little easier. All these are so different from 1 another though. He was the only 1 that was black. Hatching Icelandics is truely like a box of chocolates, you never what you're going to get.

I know, can't wait to watch them grow out and in spring you can hatch their eggs!!

Haha! No. really todays the first i put that on him and hes rather mad about it ever seen a mad baby bull? Our goal is to make him more managable by teaching him. Ive got to learn castrastion also for the same reason. He wont stay here for more than 6months but i am a small female, and i NEED him to be managable. Mean critters are cooked around here.

This is the second step. First i had let him wear a halter in his pen for a week before he busted it off. Now i leave him tied up so he learns to respect the harness... Next i lead him back to his now clean pen with the bottle and he learns to follow the lead. Gonna be fun this is my first time with a calf much less Training him thanks for askin

I LOVE it! A bottle baby? Our first bull calf was my baby until he learned what heifers and cows were. My DH would get so mad at me because I wanted to keep him innocent and a pet

Cattle are in the top 12 animals that kill people. That's scary!

OMG speaking of top animals that kill... the Assasin bug was in the top 12 article I just read. The bug itself isn't the killer but it can cause/carry Chagas. Someone just mentioned this bug the other day.
