Think it’s a huge stray cat. He tried to eat my Serama bantams today. Luckily I was outside! He then went for another pen of Showgirls. Again was able to send him packing.

She’s devastated. They were her sweeties.

Yes whatever it was it removed the lid completely. My niece thinks maybe a house cat. I’m thinking rats. The shed has doors front and back that we usually lock. They aren’t anything special just wood. I didn’t see any damage or anything like tracks. No other sign of the attack.

My niece and I have chick brooders set up in a large shed. I have a large metal livestock water trough. She has a huge dog crate (Great Dane sized) with one huge plastic tub with older Showgirls. She also had 10 Showgirls and Silkies around three weeks old. They were inside a large plastic tub...

Any guesses on which are roos? What do you call the color on Hector the last chick? Blue spangled?

Blue with Truffles the Serama bantam who is the same age. The oldest breed with the smallest!

Snowball 8 weeks old

My chicks are doing great now that they are in a larger coop. No more bloody fights. You are right I LOVE them! So smart! Know their names and come when called.

Thanks

Came home after working late to find two 5 week old babies with bloodied faces. Question: How do you separate your chicks when they begin sparring?

You can make your own suet too. Bet we can add in meal worms, nuts, fruit, whatever they might like. I’m in Alabama. Thinking of freezing yogurt cakes and watermelon chunks in the summer. A way to cool them down.

I have Aseel chicks that need extra protein. It gives them something healthy and fun to enjoy.

Found a great way to give extra protein. I feed them suet cakes they sell for bird feeders. All my babies love it!

Found an epic treat dispenser! My chicks go crazy when I fill it! A suet cage found in any big box store that sells bird feeders and seeds. I have put grass and suet cakes in mine so far. Suet cakes are like $1.20 each at RK.
