Oh gosh, i have NO IDEA why I had not considered getting them straight from the roost! I have been working myself into a mess over this! THANK YOU! I had planned to move them as early in the morning as possible so they have the entire day to get used to new place and so I can watch them. So...

Thanks so much for the reply

I have 18 chickens and am only moving 5 minutes away. I worry the most about the cathching them part... i know once we get them there it should all work out. And i dont worry so much about the transport itself since its so quick....i just worry about catching them. I would say half of them do...

Wasn't sure where to post this question..... I plan to be moving soon and am wondering if there is any advice on how to best move my chickens. I plan to use a net and MOST of them handle that well, but i just know there will be some that will stress terribly. Is there anything to put in their...

I freeze any melon rinds and fruit, squash ends and whatnot for my chickens in the summer. I also leave the hose on a trickle and they will stand in the pooling water.

17 hens (different breeds ages from 4 yrs to 9 months) 1- 9 mo old (good boy so far)cockerel. Am going to be moving this year, not sure there will be a place for chickens. I would like to have a good home for them if I cant take them with us. Average 7-9 eggs each day. I am rarely online so...

I have 19 chickens of varying ages from 6 months to 4 yrs old. One is a 6 month old cockerel. We get an average of 9-10 eggs a day. We are in the beginning stages of looking at homes and MY GOAL is to find a place so they can move with us but want to be prepared if that isnt possible. I can...

I feel so stupid right now, they are indeed bigger than all the other chicks and I dont have any bantams...other than thinking these were. Thank you for your input

Ugggh! Oh well, if they are girls i will love them the same. It just really upsets me that they don't properly label their chicks, this has been the worse year for that! I bet at the very least 60% are mismarked, and I as well as many others have talked to management Thank you Janet for your input

Ok, here is one of the little white Japanese black wing in question

HI Sue! I will take pictures once we get home, we just left rural king.

I'm not sure if this is where to post....I am wondering if anyone has pictures of 1 week white Japanese black tailed chicks. I just bought chicks from rural king and many are mislabeled. These look nothing like the ones I googled. I am just curious what I may have Thanks in advance, Janet Norman

PS: I should mention that the pullets aren't too much smaller than the hens at this point

Hi everyone, it's been quite awhile since I have been online in general, I hope everyone is well! I have a question and am not sure how to word it for a search for past answers so I hope you all bare with me for asking something that has likely been discussed..... I am hoping to...

Oh, gosh, I would love that info if you don't mind sharing with me as well. I'm always so worried my girls aren't getting enough of everything. Unfortunately, I'm not able to buy organic or the expesive brands but I try to supplement in other ways.
