I regularly give my full grown flock beef liver treats, but can baby chicks partake as well? At what age is it ok to begin feeding them raw organs?

ok, makes sense after looking that up. These two have literally nothing right now, so I guess I’ll begin to see the small bumps of their comb pop up over the next couple of weeks 🙂 thank you!

Hello, I have two Blue Laced Red Wyandotte chicks that are both 3 weeks old. Neither have combs yet while all my other same aged chicks of other breeds do. What’s more is that one Wyandotte chick has pink skin where the comb should be while the other has black. This is my first time raising...

That’s interesting! Good to know, thank you. I was beginning to worry something was wrong

I don’t know if it would be considered free range, but they have a 400 square foot run that’s fully enclosed and a 32 square foot coop. I’ve searched for eggs that could be hiding, but I haven’t found any. And there really aren’t any places they could be hiding. Everything is pretty visible

I have 5 hens and 1 roo, all are 24 weeks old. Of the hens, 3 are Rhode Island Reds and 2 are EEs. They all began laying at about 20 weeks. It started out as 1 or 2 eggs per day both brown and blue eggs. Then about two weeks ago we had a massive heat wave and they all stopped laying. Since then...

Hello, I have a flock of 5 laying hens and one rooster. They are 10 weeks old and still on starter feed. But when they’re 18 weeks, I’m not sure what to switch them to. I’m under the impression laying hens require different nutrition than a rooster. Any recommendations?

I’ll try and get some photos of that. The best I have for now are attached. None of the wing feathers though

My chickens are 9 weeks old and this one stands out as being “different”. It’s slightly bigger, has a different color pattern, a different looking comb, and is a bit more aggressive than the rest. I’m guessing cockerel, but hoping pullet! Any thoughts?
