Congratulations! You got your little fluffballs! The girls must be thrilled. I'm sorry the land search is such a pain in the butt. And such a long process. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks! Yeah, it's long and tedious. Our realtor thinks there should be more things as we get nearer to spring.
We're worried about the silky. It's not acting well. We'll probably go visit them today to check on it. I'm thinking about picking up an antibiotic that can go in the water. I don't even know what they have these days.

The silky died today. The lady who sold it to us is going to replace it since we only had it a day and a half, I guess.
Anyway, I learned something while researching it though...
Plain yogurt mixed with some water can be used on these really young, stressed chicks. You can even syringe feed it to them if need be. It's really good apparently - especially if they get pasty butt. (Though corn meal in their starter is another way to treat that... corn meal and a bit of fine grit, more like parakeet grit, I guess.)
The others are growing great. I will post those pictures next week, I guess. I still have to share the main chick post where I'll share about the breeds (Wed, I guess.)

That's so sad about the silky! I'm glad you're getting another one. Good tip about the yogurt. I will have to remember that.
