    Chirp?

    Hi everyone so I just got two new chicks and they’ve been in the brooder for about 7 minutes or so and the lavender orp has not stopped doing the lonely chirp/calling for the other chicks.

    What’s wrong😞

    Hey eveyone, so this morning I woke up and went out to change my chickens water and noticed my Dominique was acting weird. She had her wings dropped and was standing in place, so I decided to get some mealworms and see if she would start going crazy for them as usual. I started giving them to...

    Too young?

    I know this is a little young but I have 4 week old chicks and both of my cuckoo marans (expecting one to be a golden cuckoo maran) have large combs at this point. The reason I’m questioning it this early is because the rest of the chicks don’t have very large combs at all. Is this just...
