Does anybody locally have Maran pullets for sale? I'm interested!

Okay, I had noticed that...any suggestions on what I can/should do with/for her? Or should I just wait to see what happens?

Could this be "frostbite"? I put that in quotations because I don't think it can literally be frostbite because she was never in very cold conditions. But I'm wondering if it could be a lack of circulation due to being cold and wet while I worked on cleaning her rear, which could have caused...

I have a problem than I'm hoping someone can help me with. One of my 1-2 week old chicks had a blocked vent, but I was able to clean it out and my father-in-law nursed it back to health and it seems to be doing fine. I'm afraid though, that I damaged its foot while I was treating it by...

I just found another post asking this same question, and they said that a good rule of thumb is one box per five hens. We currently have three boxes, so we'll just wait to see how many hens we end up with to see if we need to add a couple more boxes or not :-) I'm still curious about when we...

Sorry, a couple more questions! At about what age can we put our chicks out in the coop? We're afraid that they'll outgrow the tub we currently have them in before they're really ready to be outside. Our coop is well insulated, could we put them in there with their heat lamp and just not let...

I do love it so far! I could just sit and watch them for hours, haha :-) I brought them into the living room last night, four at a time, so that we could socialize with them. We want them to be friendly when they're older, so we're doing what we can to get them used to handling and being...

Also, I'm in Northern Idaho! Just thought it would be fun to find out if there was anybody else nearby :-)

Hello! I'm in Hayden, ID, and just purchased my first 13 chicks, with another three on the way. Just wanted to connect with some local folks for advice and encouragement as we begin this endeavor :-)

Hello everyone, I'm new here, making the requisite introduction :-) My husband and I just bought our first 13 chicks, and are thinking of getting 3 more. Have we bitten off more than we can chew? My husband grew up with chickens, but it has been a long time. I have done tons of research...
