Is there a thread or page with instructions on how to add a short video to a post? I searched for instructions but nothing popped up that was helpful.

DH and I are rolling up I-55 toward Chicago and I'm on my phone reading the forums. I just looked over my shoulder as we passed a semi in the darkness and what is he hauling? A couple hundred cages full of beautiful, white hens. Presumably off to the slaughter house. Poor things are packed...

Ok, so today I was hanging put with my girls after doing a thorough coop cleaning and my 6 week old Polish Crested started taking a dust bath in the feeder. I've got them on Start and Grow which is powdery, crumbly and much like dust so I get that they could be confused if they were just...

Two weeks ago my sister gave me four 2-day old pea babies after a bobcat killed their mama. She thought they would do better if I put them in with my new batch of chicks. Instead of sticking them in our "chicken jail" out in the coop where I had moved the peeps at four weeks, I put them in the...

I have three 6-week old light Brahma chicks. One of them has developed bare patches on the tops of her wings. I've been watching carefully to see if the other chicks have been pecking at her or if she has been plucking them herself and this doesn't seem to be the case. What else could be the...

I originally posted this in the silkie sexing thread but I didn't get a response so I'll try here. This is Edith Anne, she's 8 weeks old (not in the first photos, but the one that follows) and she is full of personality. She thinks she's a little bad a@# and is constantly bucking up to all the...

I received my order of mealworms from Rainbow last week.  I ordered 1000 mixed size to add to the 100 large mealworms I had bought at PetSmart. The order came very quickly and I was happy with the customer service, but out of 1000 only a handful were very big.  They are all quite small.  About...

This is Lilly. I'm pretty sure she's a pullet because of her mothering, meek nature. she was around four weeks old when I got her along with four 4 week old australorps and three 1-day old mystery chicks. the day olds all nestle under her wings and she seems to have adopted them. Out of the...

I bought these four australorps on the same day from a feed store. They were a couple of weeks old. The kids that were working there said they were all four pullets. They were all the same size and feathered out exactly the same. I assumed they all hatched out together. Well, two of them have...

The first photo is a little blurry, and you can only see her head but you can see her color. She was just a day old. The second is at 2 weeks. The last two at 4 weeks.

Ok, so here's the back story, DH used to raise chickens years ago before we met. He got rid of them after hurricane Katrina when they stopped laying and he got busy. I grew up on my sisters ranch in Oregon where my daily chores included letting the chickens out of the coop, feeding them and...
