Here's a belly shot of chick #2.

Four magical mystery chicks, purchased a couple days ago at the feed store. Any guesses as to which breeds these may be? Assumptions: They are about 5 days old. They are large fowl. They are from Murray McMurray. They are pullets. They are cold tolerant breeds (I'm in Alaska, and the feed...

Get some hand warmer packs or fill a thermos with boiling water and transfer that to a metal water bottle (wrapped in a towel) at pick up.

If you don't have lots of acreage for the chickens, you'll be stepping in crap now and again. We "free range" our chickens in our yard regularly and it takes them (6 chickens) about 2 days to turn 1/6 of an acre into a mine field.

I'm planning to brood indoors this spring for the first time and I was thinking about looking on craigslist for a used tent. I was thinking I could set it up in our utility room (luckily big enough for this) and putting the brooder box (for 8 chicks) inside the tent so the dust is a bit more...

I grew up near Fairbanks and one of best friend's father ran the Iditarod from the second race until 1988. The best he did was 7th (3x). We had a couple of weeks of -10to-20F and ice fog in December, but this January has been mostly in the 30Fs. Nice but there's been quite a bit of freezing...

15F with 70% humidity is typical for Anchorage in Dec.-Feb. It's often colder and more humid.

Coastal Alaska is extremely humid.

You should replace her with two hens, because chicken math.

Araucanas are from Chile and are cold hardy. Did they molt? Some of mine molted hard and quit laying for a couple months. The rest started slowing down around Thanksgiving (I don't add light).

It could be wry neck.

I've read that chickens don't get "colds" they get respiratory infections that they carry for life. You'll be exposing your hens when you add the chick to our flock, and any new chicks you get will likely themselves become infected. I wouldn't add a sick bird to my flock. Again, that's what...

Following this thread.

We've had weather in the -10s already this winter and there's a little RIR down the street that lives outside, on the ground, at the base of a spruce tree. It's pretty much out in the open other than a bit of a depression and some wind screening provided by the lowest branches and a shed that's...

They'll be fine.

If you post pictures people can help you figure out the sex.

It was -10F here this week. My coop is not insulated and I don't heat it. The chickens have been laying everyday and come running out of the coop in the morning.

We had a few nights this week with lows down to -10F. I have an uninsulated, unheated coop and the chickens are fine, even the 14 week old bantam. The layers laid an egg a day all week (without artificial light) and they came charging out of the coop the minute I opened their hatch. If there...
