Ok so first thing is first, the tote was just to get them home in because we had a few others going in this tote too. Now that is out of the way 😂. The lady I bought these from had told me she thought the ones (circled in red) were miniature appleyards. However, she was told they the parents...

I’m looking for White Call ducklings. I don’t want adults because I want to be able to hand raise them. I do know that I will have a hard time finding any right now due to the time of year. Right at the moment I’m investigating where I can find them. There is one other breed I would love to have...

My new little ones have arrived!! I decided to add to my 9 week old flock. Figured the sooner the better! I order 5 French Black Marans. 4 girls and one boy. They sent 6. And I’m waiting for a response but I believed they marked the little guy for me. And if I’m right…he for sure stand out...

I’m not sure this is really the right place to put this but if not…my bad. Yesterday we had someone stop by and ask who built our coop. We did of course and they want us to build them one. Ours is an 8x8, I will attach some pictures. Now the barn wood we are putting on the outside isn’t...

I ordered more chickens….my others are only 8 weeks old. They will be 9 weeks on Wednesday, when the new ones are set to arrive. I figured the sooner the better. I’m waiting on my Brahmas because we are building them their own house and run. And they won’t be with the other chickens. I keep...

So, I let my chickens out this morning, and 2 of the girls went out of them coop. Now yesterday the cockerel went out first and you could tell he was checking things out. He looked everywhere. He then just went about his business and the hens went out. Today though after the 2 girls went out, he...

So, I’m sure I already know what I’m going to hear but what I REALLY need to know is….is it better to bring newer chicks in while the “older flock” is still young themselves or when they are older. I do know how to integrate them but is it easier when the “older chickens” are younger? They are 8...

I’m really not sure what this little girl could be. I got her from Cackle hatchery. They have Rhode Island Reds, Production Red, and Red Sex Link. It is unlikely it is any other Red chicken they sell. I know it can be hard to identify between them but maybe there is something one of you all can...

My littles are only 5 weeks but close enough to 6 weeks (in 2 days). I know I have a cockerel cuckoo maran and barred Plymouth Rock. But the last couples days I started wondering about my Splash Ameraucana. Comb was pretty red and then yesterday I noticed his tail feathers. I told myself that he...

I know there are already some threads for this, and to be honest….kinda dreading even putting this up but hoping for the best. I have read some of the other threads, but none of which were any help. Just a bunch of crap about Chinese stuff. But nothing useful. Or a few links that took me to...

They will be 4 weeks tomorrow. I tried to take pictures of them but some where easier than others…so had to improvise on some. I’m not too worried about the gender right now…only because I know that will be a little later. I really want to find out what I have. I bought a rainbow mix of hens...

So, I have given my chicks egg yolk, obviously fully cooked, off and on since I got them. More the first couple days. Now it’s more maybe once a week(so really only 2x since the first couple days). They are only 3 weeks. But they are REALLY liking it. To the point that I worry they are going to...

So, I have tried to do some research with no luck. When you look up chick, Google just assumes you are talking adult chicken. When you put baby chick, you get different material but still generated to adult chickens. I tried looking on here, but not really what I was looking for. The littles...

So, I believe I might have at least one rooster on my hands. And originally I was thinking to put potential roosters in their own house and separate them. But now I’m wondering if I should. What is everyone’s thoughts? Do you do it? What’s the benefits you have to it? What’s the cons?

So I know that it MAY be early to be able to at least identify this breed. However I figured I would give it a shot. I ordered a rainbow of hens (of course I also know that I more than likely have males in this mix). But because I ordered a rainbow I have not any idea what I got. But this little...

After looking around our area for a coop, we decided to build our own. Buying a kit was well over $1,000 and it wouldn’t have fit all our chickens. We just got 18. Even though some might be males, there is a possibility of adding more. And to find a coop that would hold even 15 chickens (which...

I knew chicks grew fast but my gosh. My little ones aren’t even 2 weeks old yet and I have had to put chicken wire over the top of their brooder because the little ones are flying on the sides of it! Luckily my husband and I don’t have much more to do on there chicken house! I sometimes feel...

Hi! Not only am I new here but also new to raising chicks/chickens. My husbands grandpa raised them, but my husband was a little guy and my moms dad raised them. My dad and step mom have a few (but I haven’t seen them for like 6 years now). But with all that said, I still feel like we are new to...
