Thank you!

Here is a picture of the little peanut. He falls asleep in my hand. 😢❤️ Also, I don't know if the picture does it justice, but look at the size difference between his legs and the one behind him on the log. He is so tiny. It becomes more apparent every day. He started doing this thing where he...

Aww she is beautiful! I'm sorry your others didn't make it. I hope my little guy survives. I won't let him suffer, that's for sure. I tend to act like my animals have human emotions, so when I seeing him sitting all by himself it breaks my heart, but I don't know if that actually makes a...

Just wanted to update, the chick seems to still be doing well, I found him asleep in the food dish the other day and I've seen him make his way to the water. We discovered yesterday that we think he is blind. I don't think that's his only issue as he is smaller than the rest. We have seen him...

Aw thank you so much for the well wishes. My gut feeling is that he just has a mental problem, I was temped to take him inside and try to nurse him back to health, but youre right, that would be hard on him to be away from the others and I don't really know what I would do to comfort him. Every...

I have a flock of 30 broiler chicks that I got at one day old. They are now a week and a day old and I lost two chicks for unknown reasons, (from what I understand is not uncommon, but still makes me sad). It has been pretty hot here their first week, in the mid to upper 80's, but I have been...

Ill have to pick some of those up! I'm trying to breed live meal worms for them right now, but it's not going the best lol thank you!

Perfect! Ill definitely try that. They are VERY jumpy lol good to know its just a phase! thanks!

Hi there! I'm pretty new the the chicken life. I just got my my first egg layers last week, (two, nine week old Oliver Eggers and four, thirteen week old Barred Rocks). I bought them coop ready from a great breeder locally. I really want them to be friendly and social with me and other...

Thank you!

This is very helpful thank you! I had asked the woman who inspected the new septic before I saw your reply. That was basically a dead end anyway. What you said makes total sense! I probably wont even use that area for the chickens to graze until next year, so it definitely has time to dry out...

Thank you! That's a great idea. I plan to call the people who replaced it, and I guess I can try the health department too because they inspected it. It really has been hard to find reliable information on whether or not that's safe after a certain period of time. I appreciate everyone's input!

thank you!

In the pictures I have attached the tall grass area is where I want the run and is also where the old leach field ended and leaked into.

That's good to know! If the system was leaking in that area before does that change anything?
