Keep them warm. Buy some good starter grower. I keep mine in heated garage with a light on them the First week or so. Then they go to barn in a big tub with Lamp.

The kids got they're 4h birds today. Thought I better post a picture. Pretty cute. Great color on the chics.

We've done 4h for awhile. Chicks last two years. We have isa browns from Townline this year. We always buy from our local feed store. Feed the starter feed all the way up until they lay. Last year we switched to layer feed I think to soon. Birds looked sort of immature at the Fair. Lesson...

Would a production red and a Issa red or brown be the same thing? Is the Issa a production type bird? Sex link? Thanks Danny

Ausralorp. That's on my list.

Getting ready to order this years chicks. We order 6 chicks every year. First Year we had White Rocks. We wanted white eggs so we went to White Leghorn This year. Things I noticed. Leg horns lay better than the rocks. Leg horns eat More than the rocks. The rocks showed better. So my question...

My white rocks didn't like that style box. I put a old wood box in and they love it.

I've noticed my leghorn pullets eat a lot. I had white rocks last year and it seems these Little leg horns eat more? They are young and new to laying and seem to be producing About a egg a bird. Yolks don't have much color. Do some chickens just have a lighter yolk? I'm feeding the same layer...

The kennel run I would think will be fine. Are there any gaps? Any loose dogs? I have a 2by4 run I built that I just piled dirt/mulch against. Never had a problem.

Pecking orders will happen. The new birds will stay low or on the ground even. They will figure it out.

Put half of them in there at night and go out in the morning and see what's going on. I bet they will be ok. Put the other half of them the next night. That's how I'd do it.

Not sure what all they have but I bought a nice used transport cage from a local guy. Told me Wolf lake has all kinds of things. Cages and birds.

I would introduce them in the evening. They will have a pecking order. Seems like one of the big birds always Is boss. The new birds won't have the good roosts. They might end up under roof but close to the door. Go out The next morning and they will be getting along i bet.

Are the combs bright red? Clean underneath?

If your going to have a broody I think the bantam is so cool. Bought 6 leghorn fron ideal. Pretty birds/ egg layers big time. They are Producing small white eggs like crazy now. All seem to be on a different schedule and lay all over the coop. We will get them figured out soon, I think.. We had...

I would put the hens on a layer crumble feed and get rid of the roosters. Put up a nest box or old crate or something for them to lay in. The eggs will be Cleaner. Getting the perfect spot for the nest box may take some experimenting.

leghorns have been called a lot of things but slow laying is not usually one of them. Maybe they are sick? Or crossed with a slow layer.

It looks like a nice one. I use a plain heated dog dish type in the barn. I bought a plug in from Amazon that turns on At 30 deg. No frozen water. Not been all that cold here in Indiana this year either. Maybe try yours Half full?
