No, not snug at all. I'll try that. Thanks!

I took 2 links out of the prong collar, and it worked MUCH better. Thank you!!!

Ditto.

Just heard that it's going to be close to 90 by Memorial Day and drier. But rain here off and on most of the week.

Luckily we have a huge pile of wood to split until it dries out enough that we can get back to harvesting.

I dont' mind rain, but let it dry out a little before starting again.. Got muddy pens atm.. Once it stops, it won't be 24 hours before it's solid and not gushy between the toes mud.

Hey Blooie, wanted to say that my first experience with Momma Heating Pad was a complete success. I kept it in with the Fayoumi chicks, arching it more and more until they were sleeping on the outside of it at 4 weeks and out it came. I did 48 hours of heat lamp until everyone was hatched and dry so I could keep an eye on them then stuffed them under the heating pad.

They loved it and so did I. The only problem I had with them was they refused to go under the heating pad with the lights out. I'd find them huddled in a corner of the brooder crying their little hearts out night after night. Finally put a low watt night light over the brooder and they were happy.

Once they feathered out and I moved them to a pen in the coop they settled into a day night schedule with the other birds but even then for the first few nights they were huddled in a corner crying at night. I gave them a roost bar and they have finally gotten the hang of using that so no more pitiful crying at night.

Sounds like my Egyptian Fayoumi's are afraid of the dark, LOL.
