Had chicks hatched March 20 in a coop. Guess I didn't count right when I left them out roaming the back yard around April 25and they were 5 weeks oldish. One didn't get into the coop and took up residence in a big bush/shrub in the corner of our lot. She survived by herself 2 weeks out there...

Hi all! I have a group of a dozen EE's that are 5 weeks old. They've been out of the brooder in the coop area for 2 weeks now and not under any heat. (We're in Texas). Wondering when I can start letting them free range in our 1.2 acre yard? They seem so young, although they're fully feathered. I...

Huntsville Texas. I have 2 naked neck chicks that were hatched on March 20 and are healthy n off the heat lamp. They hatched from eggs I got that are mixed breed. Covered by a Easter Egger so may throw blue-green eggs. Don't know sex of either. Again--free. I just don't like naked neck looks is...

Someone that raises both turkeys and chickens told me this today. She got turkeys a couple of years ago and last year and they kept dying around 4 weeks old. All of them. Trying to investigate why(she lives near East Texas), she was told turkeys catch a disease from chickens that is fatal to...

Hi all! Getting back into chickens after 3-4 years without. I am buying 18 standard sized straight-run chicks that were born last week. Their first "home" is gonna be a Tupperware container 42" X 20" X 15" deep with a screen top. About how long (your best guess) will this be suitable for them...

My son had a Huge (to me) flock. About 15-20 grown hens and 2 roos, and 2 separate broods of less than a week old babies, probably 2 dozen or so. Had this amount for several weeks (after the babies hatched out). Babies were following moms fine, roo's were leaving them alone. They all free-ranged...

I'm so DONE with pine shaving/flakes. They get in the waterers necessitating water changes. They get in the feeders all the time. What do you all use successfully instead of shavings or flakes? I have 20 2 week old chicks in a Rubbermaid container and am TIRED of constantly cleaning them out of...

Where do ya'll advertyise baby chicks you have to get rid of? I have extra Silkies chicks that we don't need but I need somewhere to advertise them. Can't do FB, Craigslist ad not getting any hits?

I ordered mostly Silkies (5 each of red, black, white, buff, and blue) and 4 each of Buff n Black Frizzle Bantam Cochins. They hatched Wednesday the 15th and I picked them up this morning (16th) at the P.O. Had them home, dipped beaks, and they're all healthy n alive n running around before...

Good evening. I've been a member for several year and just started posting again. I live in the country on 2.5 acres (but only the front 1/3 is cleared). I have had as many as 13 chickens together as a flock, but these last 2 (1 roo, 1 hen) are the last for awhile. They are 2 of the 8 I hatched...

Who has the best selection and cheapest price for Silkie chicks? Anyone know? I want about 20 in various colors. Sstraight run is fine. Thanks. I live north of Houston Texas.

Three weeks ago, I found my Salmon Faverolle roo dead in the yard one afternoon. He was a big beautiful one also!! I had pulled 5 eggs that day so I put them all in the Brinsea 7 & plugged it in. The next day I pulled 3 more n put 2 in the Incubator, not sure they’d hatch. Then I waited. Over...

Going outside this AM & finding a dead coon in the yard my dogs killed last night!

Somewhere a few months ago I thought I read of a company that does DNA sexing for fowl via eggshells?? Can anyone help direct me?

i bought 7 fertile Serama eggs from a breeder. She gathered them all that morning and gave me an extra because that’s what she ended up with. All went in the ‘bator the same day. Day 21 is Friday. I candled them before lockdown. 7 looked good. Locked down on Day 18. Yesterday morning one...

well, today’s day 18. Going into lockdown, I started with 8 and 7 are completely developed & with proper air cells. Humidity is at 62%. Now, we wait.

8 out of 8 Serama eggs developing nicely! I’m so happy. Day 6 & my first candling & I see nice veining & moving blobs. Hoping they all keep up with what they’ve been doing!

i don’t feel so bad now. I had my Marans hen sitting on 7 eggs. She managed to hatch out 2. Now I don’t feel so bad hatching 4 of 6 out in the incubator.
