And back into the hat.

it's interesting to me that I have about 15 chicks (about 4 weeks old) in the brooder box and all were fine except the 4 frizzles. I lost 2 of the 4, and nearly lost Omelet. Pepper seemed OK but I brought her in for safety's sake, given the record with the others. None of the other chicks are even acting chilly. There are two 250 watt heat lamps in their section, which is 4 x 4 feet and about 18 inches high. It's plywood and the base is woodchips for warmth. Shows me how susceptible frizzles are to cold.

Actually, I think these are sizzles. They have black skin and 5 toes, and I have a sizzle roo.
