Out of the brooder and into the coop....again!
We had a couple of chicken deaths over the weekend. One was a baby Belgian D'uccle which I believe had "brooder pneumonia" which isn't contagious (THANKFULLY) because our Silkies, Wyandottes, and Cream Legbars are sharing the same box. The other death was a 6 week old Brown Bantam Leghorn. We recently moved her and another bantam to the coop. I believe she fell off the roost in the middle of the night and broke her neck :*(. Nothing we can do about that, sadly. Today we are moving 24 Golden Comets out to the coop. They'll be on craigslist as soon as they have all their feathers. Most of them were freebies from Southern States. Every bag of food came with 6 free chickens, and I just so happened to need food for the ones I already had! lol... Oh well, time to get the kiddo on the bus!
