I'll be starting the thread in the fall when I get more Blue Plymouth Rocks flown in

Hello.

 

[Redhead Rae]

Good afternoon everyone! I finally caught up from the great crash last night. I was too busy this morning to spend time catching up.

One of the 6 chicks I hatched last week died. I think the day of being picked on by hens and not knowing how to drink out of a rabbit bottle did it in.

it's always hard to loose a chick...especially one you hatched yourself!

I was really upset when one of my two 5 week old LF White Cornish chicks I hatched from shipped eggs (I thought I had a pair) committed suicide by stupidity. Oh well, at least my Dark Cornish chicks are still doing well (except for the one that just died) and my breeders are alright.

Condolences. I lost two of the six Sebright chicks I bought, when I first started getting chickens... but that wasn't nearly as bad as having to cull the young Sebright cockerel with scissor-beak. I've been lucky not to have any more chicks die once they were out of the egg, so far. I can only imagine that's much more depressing, after getting them all the way to hatching and growing, than one that was purchased.

Sad, Sorry to hear about the chick.

I popped on her for a second, saw the page count and left

New chicken mom here. We got 6 at the beginning of June. They’re all cute and funny. Worried that two may be Roos and we won’t be keeping any roosters.

I am so sorry for you (I mean it, even though that phrase sounds sarcastic).

I've had to cull 2 of the Dark Cornish chicks I've hatched. One was due to leg malformations that were too severe to correct (Incubator issues) and one was a late pipped chick from a broody hatch that had 6 inches of intestines outside of its body. My MO is that I help any chick that pips. I've only had to cull 2 out of at least a dozen I've helped. I've had 2 more that I helped die on me.
