The chicks have now been here for a week. Despite having a twelve hour power outage we’ve only lost two of the Cornish crosses and one commercial layer. Which is fabulous. We typically lose 10% of the chicks and so far are running well below average. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cornish crosses: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are no longer so cute. They are starting to visibly feather out, have doubled in size, and the once white cover of their electric mat is no longer visible. They are not energetic. At all. But they are active, so that’s good. They eat about twice as much as the commercial layer chicks. And, as you can see, like to do so by sitting IN their feed dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commercial Layer chicks: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are a bit bigger than before, but not by much. Still very much cute and fluffy. They are starting to feather out a little, but it’s hard to see as they are black. They are however VERY energetic. Zoom here. Zoom there. Steal from the chick next to them and RUN. Their heating mat isn’t white but no where near as bad as the other one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week, if the weather settles, I will raise the lights up a bit which will lower the brooder temperature. If we keep it too warm they won’t go under it but it’s still far too cold at night to have them not seek the warmth of the brooder. The weather forecast is for a cold spring so I’m cautious about raising the lights too fast. I’ll be back next week with another photo update. If I can grab an extra pair of hands I’ll try and get a comparison of the chicks side by side and you can see the very real difference in size between then two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Actualizaci\u00f3n de pollitas!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Los pollitos llegaron hasta una semana ahora. A pesar de una corte de luz de casi doce horas murieron solamente tres pollitos: dos dobles pechugas y una ponedora comercial. Esto es maravilloso. Normalmente, mueren al m\u00ednimo 10% y todav\u00eda murieron muy poco de lo normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Fotos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las dobles pechugas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ahora no son muy cari\u00f1osos. Desarrollan plumas, est\u00e1n doble el tama\u00f1o, y la cubierta blanca de la cama caliente no es blanca m\u00e1s. No son muy energ\u00e9ticos. Pero son activos, y esto es muy bueno. Comen doble la raci\u00f3n que las pollitas negras. Y, como puede ver, les gusta comer cuando est\u00e1n sentados ADENTRO del comedero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ponedoras comerciales (pollitas negras):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Est\u00e1n un poco m\u00e1s grandes que antes, pero no mucho. Est\u00e1n muy cari\u00f1osas todav\u00eda. Desarrollan algunas plumas. Es muy dif\u00edcil a ver las plumas como est\u00e1n negras. Est\u00e1n con MUCHA energ\u00eda. Mucha. Corren por ac\u00e1. Corren por all\u00e1. Roban de la compa\u00f1era y corren. La cama caliente no es blanca, pero no es tan horrible como la de las dobles pechugas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La semana que viene, si el tiempo estabiliza, levantar\u00e9 las luces un poco. Esa bajar\u00e1 la temperatura de la caja caliente. Si mantengo la temperatura demasiado alta, los pollitos no vuelvan a calentarse abajo de las luces. Todav\u00eda la temperatura baja mucho a noche y necesito que las pollitas buscan el calor de la caja caliente a no morir del fr\u00edo en la noche. El pron\u00f3stico es por una primavera fr\u00eda. Por esto, estoy muy nerviosa si bajo la temperatura demasiado r\u00e1pido. Vuelvo la semana que viene con m\u00e1s fotos. Si puedo pedir ayuda, trato de tener una foto para mostrar la diferencia de tama\u00f1o entre las dos razas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
