Thank you Eggcessive!

We have 60 chicks in the brooder and noticed bloody stools. We have not pin pointed what chicks have it and what dont. I ran to local Co-Op and bought Corid 9.6 liquid solution. I just put 2tsp per gallon in there water. Question is can I feed medicated feed when on Corid?

Yeah we use probiotics and save a chick electrolytes for all of our chicks. Thanks for your thoughts very much appreciated.

We currently have a clutch of Crested Cream Legbars hatched 12/21/15 all doing well no losses.

We have have had tons of chicks just never mail ordered. We dip beaks and put them under heat in brooder. I'm assuming that proper procedure? Some chicks where not able to walk or stand on arrival others seemed to get around fine but died.

They shipped 12/28/15 and received them 12/31/15 here in Washington State we are in the upper 20s to low 30s.

We just ordered chicks for the first time ever from Meyer Hatchery and I gotta say not a good experience. One chick was DOA and they have been dropping like flys. Out of 27 chicks we have lost 9 so far and a few still fighting for life.

We have a Rhodebar chick that is tucking it's head under its chest and running backwards into the brooder walls. We are feeding Purina medicated crumble and probiotics as well as vitamin supplements with electrolytes in the water. I have read its a lack of vitamin E but have already increased...

I'd like to hear opinions of stormbergs hatchery good bad overpriced quality?

It has good ventilation. It has a vent up top on one end and at floor level on the other. It causes the air to circulate through. And yes plenty of windows for natural light and fresh air.

Our new 8X14 chicken coop with four windows two doors and two chicken doors.The front door will be for free ranging and the back door will be a covered pen for our young birds.

From what I've read on reviews the sunbeam heat pad is not verry dependable for the price. Lots of reviews say it just stops working.

Go to Lowes or Home Depot get a dimmer switch for your heat lamp you can adjust your temp that way instead of having to adjust your lamp up or down. Make sure you have a thermometer at the bottom of your brooder under the lamps and room for your checks to get out of the heat. They will go to the...

They are very active eating and drinking running around the brooder. They run to the light to warm themselves and gone again. They are not chirping loud and all is well.

Sorry they are not my birds and a friend sent me the picture asking what kind i thought they were. I appreciate all your opinions i know its hard to tell with the pic given.

Any idea what breed?

The temperature in the garage or brooder? 90 dagrees and 30% humidity under the heat lamp. Just guessing the garage temp around 45-50 dagrees.

Made some changes and have chicks. We got 4 Rhodebar 4 Easter Eggers 4 Black Australorp 4 Golden Sexlinks 4 Delawares and 2 Rhode Island Reds.

The reason I did two heat lamps is because the brooder is so long. Im gone working about 12 hrs a day and was afraid a bulb might burn out. This way I had a back up heat source. There is 3'to 4'between lamps?

I already have a sheet of 1" Styrofoam insulation. :thumbsup
