Yea, you're all ready! I saw a video about using an Epsom salt soak for a sick/lethargic chicken. She put the sick chicken in the bath for 5 minutes or so, patting the water about to get underneath the feathers. Oh yeah, it was a very warm day. There was tons of comments of people agreeing and they had done that also and sometimes it worked great for whatever was ailing them. Anyhow, I was raised on a farm and I had never heard of this, thought I'd pass it along.
Hello Karen thank you for taking the time to share that information with me. I have never heard of that either but I am very intrigued. Appreciate your comment. I hope you have a beautiful day and thanks again for stopping by. 🥰🥰🥰Liz
Awww thank you so much!!! Now I am just waiting to pick up my baby chicks. I am waiting patiently for a special breed (Silkies) to be delivered. It will be so much fun once they arrive! Thanks for stopping by! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Ginger thank you so much for your feedback. I was totally thinking of you when I was filming this video and so excited for you to see that I am doing it now. Yay!!! I will be posting more videos very very soon and it’s so awesome that I can start from the very beginning when they are baby chicks. Thank you again for suggesting I do this and watching my videos! 🥰🥰🥰 Liz
Love it! I have some Brahma's and Australorps on the way to me now, and I'm going to make their brooder just like this, out of the things I already have! Wonderful and encouraging video :)
Hey there, Bob, thank you for taking the time to visit me. If you are buying “ chick” feed from the animal feed store they always sell what baby chicks need. They do need lots of proteins so if you are feeding them food, specially made for baby chicks, then you are doing the right thing. Usually for the first six months of their life, you feed them that kind of food. When they start laying eggs, that is when you feed them egg laying feed. I hope that helps. Little silkies are so cute. Congratulations on your new flock. And thank you again for your comment. 👍🥰❤️Liz
Congratulations on getting your new baby feathered friends. Thank you for the information on getting started with new baby chicks. It is great learning something new every day.
Hi Liz, Oh, how fun 🐣🐤🐥I hope you'll keep us updated. When we were little my Mother bought colored chick's (peeps)at Easter 🐣 Unfortunately, after Easter they went to live on a friend's farm! I think they made it to dinner size. Your setup looks simple👍
Hi Peggy thank you for your fun comment. I remember those little peeps at Easter too. Yes of course I will definitely make more videos and keep everybody updated on the progress. Thank you again for stopping by! 🥰🥰🥰
We used a box one year, but I found one that was too short. Your box has great sides! My hens were jumping out after about a week. Now we use a cattle trough. Great video Liz. Glad you introduced me to your channel! Just subbed! Rich
Hey there Rich I am flattered you stopped by and appreciate your comment! Yea I go lucky with that nice thick box. I like your idea using the cattle trough, Cant catch on fire either. Although if i were to raise chicks more often I would also invest in a brooder pad. Crazy how fast they grow!!! Thanks again for stopping by Rich I appreciate your support! ❤️🥰👍 Liz
