One of my new little baby boys didn't make it through the night.

I agree! Get more eggs or chicks!

Wellies are good for sure.
I have a few Welsummer X Marans that should start laying soon. I think the Welsummer blood made the chicks healthier. I didn't have any chicks with bad feet at least with the cross. Now to wait and see about egg color.

Which breed was giving you the bad feet?

I had a friend that had Welsummer/Black Marans crosses pullets and they laid dark eggs. Some have the reddish tint and the others have the chocolate tint. Those were lovely girls!

The Marans are the ones with the bad feet. I think they are way too inbred.
