I started with 13 chicks they're about 8-9 weeks old. Now in the last two days I'm down to 9, with another one sick. I have no idea what's wrong with them. I've raised chicks four other times and this has never happened. The only thing I notice wrong with them is they huddle over and then later...

I know he/she came from Estes hatchery but I got him out of an assortment. There's no feathers on the legs. In the second picture it's standing by my Welsummer.

I just saw these on the BYC homepage on a thread about flock size, they are soooo gorgeous!!!! Can anybody tell me what they are???

Hello! I live within thirty minutes of Estes Hatchery and I am wanting to purchase two turkey poults from them. I have tried to contact them multiple times though and they haven't bothered to get back to me. I was just wondering what everybody else's experiences with them have been?

I really want to get a pair of Royal Palm turkeys. All the hatcheries I have checked only sell straight run though and there is a 10 turkey minimum. I just want one hen and one jake. I live near Branson, MO. Does anybody know where I can get these turkeys. I only want two! I can't have...

our chicks are about 5 weeks old. they live outside in their coop now and we are almost out of chick starter. we have a 50 lb bag of all purpose poultry crumbles. the chick starter should last a few more days. is it okay to start feeding them the all purpose crumbles when we run out of chick...

This is Buffy, s/he is about four to five weeks old. We have one Cornish X who has a big pink comb already, although no wattles. Buffy and the other chicks, besides the Cornish x, don't have much of a comb at all. We are hoping pullet on this one, any guesses???

Pretty positive our Cornish x that we named Cotton is a roo. S/he has a MUCH larger and redder comb than all the other chicks we have. They're only about 4 weeks old so we think Cotton may for sure be a boy. S/he has also got their feathers in a lot slower than everyone else. (this is our only...

I got some chicks at the feed store and they told us this one was a plymouth barred rock, we went back about a week later and the other barred rocks have white speckles on their little wing feathers...our little one doesn't though, he has all black feathers besides for one all white feather on...

I just thought it could be fun to look back later on this and see how much they changed each week, they grow so fast! New Baby chicks Week One (you can see the cornish x has pretty much caught up in size to our buff orpington that is a little older than the rest, in the second pic you can...

Well to start with we had to draw out some plans...these probably aren't the exact way the coop will turn out but it was a start We are on a budget so we are using as much stuff that we have laying around as possible. For that reason we designed a coop that uses cattle fence panels (we had a...

Hi everybody! I live about 30 minutes from Springfield, MO and just got our first chicks about a week ago. Super excited! We have already started to build our coop and our babies just keep getting bigger. We have 1 buff orpington, 1 plymouth barred rock, 1 cherry egger, 1 black sex link, and 1...

Hi I'm new to chickens and we have five hens (1 buff orpington, 1 plymouth barred rock, 1 cornish x, 1 red production, and 1 black sex link). We really want to keep our cornish cross as a pet and I need advice on how to do this. Also I have read that if you do keep them as a pet keep them away...
