Two Sick Chicks

I have 2 chicks that are sort of sickly. One has a pasty butt the other has a bad eye.  The thought process of the mother hen (that's me) is funny. I thought, "maybe I should put some Vaseline on it." After all my mom put Vaseline on all my ailments, either that or Vick's Vapor Rub. But then my next thought was "No. It might peck at it, get petroleum jelly in its mouth and throat and die." Then I thought,"I can put one of those cones around its neck (you know like one of those dog neck cones to keep it from licking its stitches) Then I thought of the humiliation and the poor chick saying, "Oh!! The humiliation of it all." I shared these thoughts with Yvonne. She said, "No, cause the other chick has a bad eye."

I separated them from the rest of the chicks and they slept in my room in a rubber maid container with their own heat lamp and food and water. At one point they chirped so loud Yvonne could hear them on the other end of the house through closed doors. Soon they calmed down and tired out and slept through most of the night. Mother hen (me) kept waking up in the middle of the night worried for them. I will be getting antibiotic feed for them this morning.
The black on has pasty butt the yellow one has a gimp eye. They are a pair.
the heat lamp is not on in the photo because it makes the picture look terribly red.

Hi! My name is Chad and I am addicted to chickens.

I bought 25 chickens. No guarantee that they will be hens, no guarantee the eggs will even be large enough to bother cracking open. They are called" bantam" and best I can tell so far they are just meant to look purdy. But I ordered them so they are coming. So I built a brooder into the coop. You can see it in the pictures. It is 33 x 26 inches by 14 inches tall. I built it with a hole for the heat lamp and two windows for peeking and ventilation.  I hope the other hens like them.  Any way. That's what I did today. Oh, and by the way, if it crows it be comes that evenings dinner.

PVC Pipe Chicken Feeder

I made this chicken feeder. It is made out of 1 piece of 3 inch pipe 2 end caps and one 90° elbow. I cut a 1.5 foot piece off one end and drilled  1.75 inch holes with a door knob style hole cutter. I fit them together and stuck it through the hole in the chicken wire resting it on the bottom. I attached it to the 2"x4" with a metal strap with a piece of 1"x3"x 4" spacer made of scrap wood. I put a handle on the top of the top end cap.for easy removal and easy filling. Chickens are already eating from it.
