Well I woke up this morning and the gold laced wyandotte had poop stuck to her backside.. so i got a warm washcloth and set it up next to it for awhile while i got out some olive oil... cleaned it off and put olive oil around her butt... also put a little on all the chicks vent areas... then got some whole oats and grinded them up..and put it on top of their feed and put the rest in a zip lock baggie... then went outside grabbed a shovel and pulled up a small area of grass and dirt and set it inside the brooder.. and mixed up a electrolight & probiotic and mixed with their water..

Sounds like your catching it fast, and doing all you can! I'm sure they will be just fine!

Yah I am so excited!! I just picked up my baby chicks from the Post Office that I ordered from Cackle Hatchery!! I received the following:
5 Golden Laced Cochin
6 Cuckoo Maran
5 SIlver Laced Wyandotte
5 Americanas

I am super impressed with Cackle Hatchery. All of my babies made it and didn't seemed stressed and I knew exactly when they were going to arrive I cant wait to go pick up my little boy from school so he can get to see them

Just found this thread. I am currently waiting on a cackle hatchery surprise shipping Mar 24th, and a order of 16 call ducks shipping may 27th. Honestly not sure which order I'm more excited about getting. I love the idea of having call ducks again, but I'm also over the moon on the idea of getting the surprise hehe

Lol! I felt the same! I gave mine everything possible yesterday! And they all do seem to be doing better!! I had fed them all today I literally had both hands in and about 6 chicks in each hand going banana's ! hahaha It was just their feed too but it being somewhere else they were just over the moon! It was cute. I wiped a few bums and each one as I went to put them back in they just stood in my hand and looked up at me. I was like YAY we are getting comfy with each other! hahaha One in particular, she REALLY is docile and likes me. I don't even know what she is! hahaha Off to google....

Yay chicks! Just last Tuesday I received 10 blue laced red Wyandottes and 5 black copper marans from my pet chicken. They did not seem stressed at all, I think ordering more than just a few at a time is the way to go. Unfortunately, one of the marans arrived with a severely broken femur and had to be put down. I cried my face off even though I'd known her for 3 hours. Oy ve! Their feathers are already coming in nicely.

Next week I'm picking up from Farm and Fleet 2 buff Orpingtons, 1 silver laced wyandotte, and 2 cuckoo marans. This farm and fleet uses cackle hatchery. I can't wait for them!

I'm also receiving an unknown number of unknown breed ducklings in April from a classroom. Eep, I better get building more housing!! My family thinks I'm nuts.

Chicks are so fun!!! I just got some from Cackle too : 6 barred rock bantams, 5 barred rocks, 3 buff orpingtons, and 6 partridge rocks! Wow... what on earth am I gonna do with all these chickies????


Oh, by the way, Cackle hatchery does a great job with the chickens. I'm so happy with the buff laced polish I recieved last year.
