I'm in Snohomish county, but I will give them a call. If they can't help, maybe they can point me towards something up here. Thanks so much! I had no idea there were people who could help with this.

Today, this lady called and asked about some ducks I have for sale. She asks where we are so I gave her our address. I asked where she is coming from, so I could give her directions'

She said

"Viet Nam!"

(I didn't give her directions!)

she probably meant she is from Viet Nam not coming from there. Still she probably wants to eat them not raise them. who knows

So, I got the coop finished tonight with the help of my DH. When we came in we found that we lost another chick. That's 2 in one week. All seemed healthy and active when we went out at 7:30 tonight, we came in at 9:45 and he was dead, and seemed to have been for a while. Is there any way to figure out if there is an illness going around the brooder?

So what it under a heat lamp? Sometime they will lay under it and streach out and the others will lay on top of it and smother it.
How old are they again and any signs of them being sick during the day? I'll look in my med book and see if I can find anything for you.

Thought I would share some photos of my Fav pair Romeo and Juliette. 18 weeks



Very happy chickens dust bathing. This is their spot. The one place the other girls don't bug them.






I think I have decided to eventually only have EE's and Favs. I think they are my favorite breeds out of all the ones I have had. Sussex are coming in a close third though. Lol!

Beautiful! I love the Favs too, especially if they're Cloverleaf Favs!

I've got a big pile of free wood from a recent barn demo. Good for firewood or projects.

He was not under the heat lamp, he was on the same side as the last one who died. They are 4 weeks this coming Monday. They all seem fine. They scratch around in the brooder, they all eat and drink, I have Save-A-Chick electrolytes and probiotics in the water, and it gets changed every day. They are not on medicated chick starter, and I know it's hard to tell if they have coccidia, but all the poops look normal, no blood and not runny. Both birds that died had full crops. Maybe I should go back to the medicated feed, I really don't want any more chicks to die.
