    feeding schedule for baby chicks

    Those were the only two I found as well, and I didn’t bother to look at the pet caged bird article since I was looking for chicken articles. But that was very astute of you to make that connection. The VCA veterinarians are not board-certified avian veterinarians, but around here they are the...

    Hey @N F C I like your new avatar! (And because one always comes across posts later where said avatar is no longer there, I will post a screenshot of it for future reference. 😉)

    Does this egg look fertilized? Thought I had all hens!

    Oh, I knew you were joking! At first I thought you meant the bullseye had 3 rings meaning triplets. Then I realized there were those reflections and that made more sense. 😂

    What Mug Are You Using Today?

    Back home now and today I’m going to use the mug I got in Vienna. We went to the Spanish Riding School to learn about the Lippizaner horses. (No show because the performance horses are in the country avoiding the summer heat. But we did get to see the non-performance horses in their stalls.)...

    😂 (Are you referring to the 3 light reflections?)

    feeding schedule for baby chicks

    Or you can restrict their diet before they get too fat to prevent it from happening. Usually if someone is hoping to raise the meat birds for breeding, then they try to grow them out slower to avoid leg and heart issues. It’s not always successful but can be done.

    Oh, that VCA! We have those around town.

    feeding schedule for baby chicks

    What VCA are you referring to? (I tried to look it up but results didn’t seem pertinent.)

    feeding schedule for baby chicks

    Your setup sounds good. I would continue with that. I’ve never heard of feeding chicks every two hours! How absurd! The only kind of chicks that I’ve heard of restricting intake for are meat chickens, if you are trying to get them to grow more slowly. But that would be at a later stage in their...

    I got to pet a wirehaired dachshund shortly before finding that mug, so I thought it was a fitting souvenir!

    What Mug Are You Using Today?

    Yes, that was a particularly nice stretch, the Wachau Valley in Austria with a lot of settlements going back to the Middle Ages. And of course mountains. So a lot of people took their breakfast up to the sun deck for the view while we ate. And, being an overcast day had its advantages, because...

    This is the dachshund mug I got in a shop in Passau, Germany on Tuesday and have been drinking my Teeccino from it every morning on our river cruise down the Danube this week. We are in Bratislava, Slovakia today, and tomorrow is our last stop- Budapest.

    Crocheters Thread

    My husband somehow heard about lighted crochet hooks and told me about them. So I searched reviews and found some people who really liked theirs and I bought a set. The set is fine, but the light up feature isn’t really worthwhile. If I put it on the bright setting, I get light flashing in my...

    Drama in the coop.. integration

    Can you reattach some plastic netting over the hole you made so that only the littles can fit through it? That way they can come out to explore the hen side and retreat to safety if the hens pick on them. On the other hand, if the hens aren’t drawing blood, just let them work it out...

    Need ideas on transporting ten chickens on short notice

    I think your idea to use smallish cardboard boxes is an excellent one. That is often how I send chickens home with people who buy them from me.

    Broody hatching eggs, what next.

    I agree. In my opinion, you need to separate her and the eggs before they hatch. I have tried to let hens hatch chicks without separating them from the flock, but as each chick hatched, it wandered away from the mother, who was still sitting on eggs, and the other hens killed the first 3 chicks...

    Barred rock chick color

    It sounds like your rooster might not be a pure barred rock. But I think I can see slight barring on your black chick.
