Chick died. At least it took only a few minutes and not hours or days.

I am really hating myself. Walked into the bathroom tonight (light off) and stepped on a squeaky toy. It compressed with a long squeak. But then I took my foot off and realized that our dogs did not play with rubber squeaky toys in my bathroom that it was a 9 day old chick. Not instantly dead...

Hope you'll get a chance to dry out!

Dang, its been over 150 pages since I've been on. Just checking back in. Glad to see a few familiar names!

These are prolific in Hawaii

Glad you were able to 'farm' out the calf to a nursing mom. I actually made butter too from a really good milking longhorn. It was my first successful butter making attempt!

Any ideas on what to do with a 2day old chick with a compound wing break? There was a piece of bone (I now believe) that came off - it was about the length of a grain of rice but about a fifth as thick. Injury seems to be in the armpit area. Hard to tell with such a small thing. NO CLUE whats...

OMG! Gone for three weeks and this what I miss!

@Poco Pollo How are you guys doing in all of this rain? Can you get out?

Founds some buddy chicks for my one legged peeper at the auction last night. Amazing how much more messy 7 chicks are than one chick with a bad leg! He seems quite content with the new arrivals even though they are a few days older and a little bigger. There were some very cool large fowl birds...

Anyone in the market for a 'special' chick? I have a (found in the cowyard) bantam type chick - mama was likely a bantam cochin, dad, who knows... He (the chick) had one leg tuck up, like other kinds of birds often do. He doesn't use it, and so far has managed to get around using only one leg -...

That is the coolest thing ever! Post cards are pretty lame compared to this.

Okie wind braided!

Looks to be porcelain to me.

So sorry!..... It's why I don't let the kids name them. :(

Just an update on the poults, (a word which does not pass spellcheck) lost four overnight night before last, but the two remaining have eaten down half of their feed dish and a third of their water - they are also making bigger poops than before. They are just over a week old- can I feed them...

I made the mistake of putting ACV into a waterer with a galvanized bottom for my poults over the weekend. Will likely lose 2 more. Just lethargic, but now with the occasional tremor. Wonder if it is a metal poisoning....but they were acting off already, sulmet was also in the water - along with...

We feel the same way about cows! And I agree... your hatches must be particularly exciting! Question for all: DH collected eggs yesterday (including the ones under the broody :( ) They are silkie eggs that are about 11 days into the brood. Any chances that some may survive 69 ish indoor...

Absolutely. I've promised you calf pics before - wish I was more on the ball, as the computer lost off of my cattle photos last summer. Let me know if you want these as bigger files, I can email them to you (or pm you, not sure).

New calf born yesterday. I saw the mom, knew she had calved, and went looking for him. I started towards the first gully but at a slant - trying to get a long look into the woods in the gully. Then I stopped just after going down. For some reason, I looked behind me, and there he was! Right in...
