I am going on vacation soon for two weeks, what do you think I should do? I have a flock of 15, (9 hens, and 6 young chicks that I keep in separate coops.) I have heard of chicken sitters but I have found none in my area. Is there an automatic dispenser or any device that can keep my chickens...
I just picked up 14 chicks from ideal poultry and 2 of them could not stand up. One died this morning and one is limping around. I am afraid it is going to die like the other one. Has anyone dealt with this kind of problem? If so, the how did you treat it? Thanks in advance.
I wanted to buy a small order of chicks. I heard they ship with a minimum of $30 order total and $7 handling fee. My question is, do they ship for free or do they charge a shipping fee at the end of the order? Thanks.
I forgot to set the hatching date and when to stop turning eggs in my reminders, and I cannot even remember when I put the eggs in! I have no clue of what to do. I check on them every few days and I am so worried that I might do something wrong

I got my chicks at a pet store and I just noticed that they had blood in their stool. It is not a huge amount of blood but it does have a tiny amount of blood that look pinkish red on a part of the poop. I am in panic. The chicks are two and a half weeks old, and they got ahold of some mealworms...
The chicks that i bought from the pet store are frightened by humans because they were often touched by kids. Anyone have any advice to make these chicks less afraid and tame?
I actually went ahead and got 6 chicks from a local pet store. 3 cream legbars, 2 (olive eggers), and one mystery Cochin? My concern is that the (olive eggers) are actually barred rocks. They have such similar characteristics. As for the muster Cochin... I do not know what breed it is. It looks...
So today i put in five eggs in my Vivohome incubator,(which worked really well with my last batch), and it fit only 5 eggs (6 at most). I want to continue to incubate eggs but my incubator does not let me incubate more than half a dozen of eggs. I do not want to get a pricey incubator because I...
