will you ship the chicks?

He is a white Leghorn. they are known for doing a lot of talking. I also found out that he is really good with kids, not a usual trait of the leghorn breed.

i am trying to get the lavender color into many of my breeds. i recently got 6 lavender hatching eggs and only 2 are growing. i would love to get chicks but will also take eggs. i am very into poultry i am even thinking of studying poultry in collage. please let me know if you have some chicks...

i like my rooster very much! he protects the baby chicks from the hens who pick on them. the only thing is he starts crowing at 4 am. i keep him around because he has a high voice so it is very quiet by the time the sound hits the house.

i feed my chickens all kinds of fruit and it never affects them. why would a hatchery say that?

watermelon, and wax worms and some time i eat a apple and throw a bit to them. they chase each other around and around

i wonder why chicks feel the need to poop in their food. i have tried to prevent that but it never works

my chickens have done this to. i took the feeder out for a while and just feed them by hand. when i put the feeder back in they no longer wasted the feed.

i tried to grow some grasses in my run. i let them get thick before i let them play in it and they just destroyed the grass. it did take a while though it might be worth it though.

is she a meat bird? it sounds like what a meat bird does they site right by the feed and just eat all day long.

look to see if the the air sack is filled up if it is i would say they died. i would wait till day 24 or 25 u just never know

first chicks were a school project and i got 5. i now have 25 with eggs in the incubator and more eggs comeing so that i can introduce a new breed. giveing egggs to people is a good way to get them addicted. all the little kids love to come to my house. he he

one of my friends has had a few chick with that problem and they didnt last long.sorry i hope that i am wrong!!

yea the eggs are fine my hen seemed to never get off the nest at one point i put water right next to her and she seemed to drink forever.
