    Mystery chicks

    TS had these listed as New Hampshires, I'm leaning towards Jersey Giants.. That big one though, I have no idea, I'm assuming a mix of some kind but any thoughts? Pics in comments

    Baby chicks and rainy weathe

    The chicken coop is finally finished! The run is not, but the chicks are currently in a large dog crate and could definitely use the extra space the coop will allow. I was hoping to move them to the coop today but it's a rainy cool day(65 degrees, not too cold). Is it fine if I move them out...

    Nesting boxes now or later?

    When I move my chicks into the coop do I need to have the nesting boxes already in there so they can get used to them(I'm pretty sure I read somewhere they need to be unusable until laying age, if so how do I go about doing that?), or can I add the nesting boxes later when they get to laying age?

    Is the brooder really big enough?

    Brand new to raising chickens, just got 4 chicks on Saturday. We are currently using a large dog crate as a brooder. They have plenty of space now but I'm assuming they'll need more soon(before they're ready to move to the outdoor coop).. I've been looking around and have seen lots of brooder...
