Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! :frow You can post pics here too if you like!

Egg order delayed. She didn't have enough buff eggs to fill my two dozen egg order and said it's so hot there they aren't laying well. She asked if I wanted 1 mos old chicks. No, as I'd only get 3 chicks for the price I've paid for two dozen eggs. Hindsight thinking, maybe that's all I'd...

They need extra when they get really hot, like in 90+ weather, or if they've been stressed out over something, like a wild animal, dog, etc. It helps them handle it better.

Lock down for the vast majority of chicken eggs is 3 days prior to hatch so Day 18. I do it one or two days sooner as I've had early hatchers (silkies). When I used the NR360, it automatically turns the turner off. I took that white turning rack out. Then I put down the rubber shelf liner...

One key thing to getting rid of maggots is repeating soaks every couple of hours to get the ones newly hatched or coming to the surface. Then continue with the Neosporin. As you eliminate what's eating her alive, she should start feeling better. Maybe you can get her to eat some scrambled eggs.

Yep, they have mites. Most use Permethrin dust/garden dust. You could leave everything in the coop to dust it all good, and each of the chickens. Others haul everything out, put in garbage bags and burn it, but that process perhaps releases some of them, and I'd want every last one dead...

Ours free range at 6 weeks, weather permitting. It's a good way to get them used to each other but to live together, wouldn't work until they get closer to the same size. The 6-week old ones are now 8-week old and getting along with the 4-month old ones at least so we could maybe get them to...

8 years ago we opted for sand, and thought we'd try horse bedding pellets first. We've never stopped. We change them once a year (every spring) and do zero maintenance all year long. We now use them in the brooders too. Game changer!

Give them some grit. I'd give them some probiotic water or sugar-free yogurt too. They should get over this okay. Just keep their butts clear. We use horse bedding pellets, and underneath their nipple bottle waterer the drips cause the pellets to turn to sawdust. They start taking dustbaths...

I'm going with two cockerels too as I'm seeing hackles on both. That is not 100% though, just my guess at this point.

57F High today 66F Low tonight 41F No air quality issues today! :D The Canadian winds must be blowing other directions than southernly.

Hiya, GothCookie, and welcome to BYC!! :frow We'd love to see photos of your poultry if you care to share. I'm especially fond of ducks, but can't have any here.

Happy Birthday!!
