The chickens I got from you have just started laying. I love the olive egg color, darker in person than I could get a good picture of. And the blue egg laying sex links have started also. Still waiting on the legbars to start laying. Just wanted to say Thank You!! I’m so excited to have some...

Where is a swap in Altoona? I would love to go. Will there be one next month? I tried googling and can’t find anything about them.

Sunbeam Xpress Heat is what I got. It has a button that will make it stay on. They have them at Walmart. It’s only 12” X 15”, so its not for very many chicks.

I have my new chicks in the living room next to a window. They are loving the sunlight coming in. I’m using the Heating Pad instead of a heat lamp and they really enjoy that. Can’t wait to get more

Thank you!! They look so comfy under there. Do you have the hearing pad under or on top of the wire? And if it’s under how do you secure it. I did find the thread on here about it. Lots of great ideas, need to head to Walmart

Thank you. I would very much be interested. I’m actually in Snow Shoe so depending on where you are I could maybe come to you?

Also, has anyone ever used a heating pad instead of a heat lamp for the brooder? I’d love to not use the heat lamp, with a coal stove our house is warm anyway and the chicks won’t need much warmth. But I’m nervous that the heating pad is also dangerous? What are everyone thoughts?

Hi everyone! I haven’t been on in a long time. We had a raccoon get all our chickens last fall We decided to start fresh this spring. I’m looking for chicks. Legbar, Marans, Olive Egger And Ameracaunas not Easter Egger. I found someone but she’s a little over 2 hours from me. Anyone near State...

We had our first litter of rabbits about 5 weeks ago. That litter didn't open their eyes until they were more than 3 weeks old. We have a litter right now that's 2 weeks old, their eyes have been open for a couple days. Same breed of rabbit. Not sure what the difference is and why this new...

We got some chicks from my daughters classroom today. I have too many chickens!!!! There are 11 4 week olds in my basement, 4 3 week old turkeys and now these 3 bantams. Ugh!! I need to stop collecting animals! Not to mention what's already out in the coop! Anyone have an idea of what we...

I am so happy. We've had the 4, 8 week old ducks in the run with the chickens, but we separated them with a chain link fence for 1 week so everyone could get used to each other. We let the ducks out Saturday morning with the chickens. No problems so far. But the awesome part is the ducks...

I took some pictures of our set up today, thought I would share. We have six cages, only 4 adult rabbits right now. We plan on doing the same system on the other side of the garage eventually. Here is our Californian doe with her 3 week old kits, there are 8 of them. They just started...

Lots of pictures today.. Here is a picture of our duck house. We made the nice door in the front but they hate the ramp so they just go in and out the back door. They do go in at night, thank goodness!! I was worried they wouldn't. We have had the chain link fence separating them from...

I'm glad it's not just us. We got ours when they were 5 weeks old, they are now 8 weeks old and I thought it was because we didn't have them as babies. Hopefully it gets better after they start laying maybe they will calm down.
