I have 11 4 week old sex links. Black and red. They have been in the coop separated with a gate( the more mature can see them) for about 2 weeks.
When do people introduce the young ones physically to the flock? The last set I did it at about 8 weeks and there really has t been a problem...
My 11 3 week olds have been moved out to the barn into a larger pen beside the coop where the larger chickens are. They were starting fly out of the brooder in my basement. The temperatures are around 20-23 degrees Celsius in the day and goes into the teens at night. My barn is always cooler...
these two pullets are a mix for sure. The one we call Larry. ( brother and sister are Curly and Moe) the white I can’t help but laugh when I see her. Pretty sure she has Wilkie in her. But other than that. Not sure sure. curly the black one. No idea. She has teal in her feathers.
So she layed her first egg. She is about 18 weeks old. I picked her up to take her outside and it dropped out of her. It didn't have a developed shell. Is that normal for the first eggs? The yolk looked perfect. Just the shell wasn't good. I do give calcium supplement.

Hi there. I had hatched 4 Rouen ducks for a friend and now her husband has had enough of all the animal she has. (She is a dog breeder, cats and chickens).
The ducks are approximately 8-9 weeks. We are in the Guelph, Ontario area and would prefer only pick up. Also, these birds are not going...
I hatched 4 Rouen ducks for a friend of mine because she wanted ducks with her chickens. The unfortunately her husband has had enough of all the animals she has been getting and draws the line at these. I warned them that ducks are messy but they didn't realize the extent of it. So now they...
Hi there. I have 4 week old plymouth rocks and silkie chicks. They are in the coop and are separate from the older hens. Does anyone know at what age can we introduce everyone together? The other chickens are a mix of redx's and whitex's. One silkie adult as well. There are no roosters in...
I am thinking of all my eggs there might be only one that will hatch.. I know they are not good by themselves. Any suggestions? I called a local hatchery and they don't have any day olds.
