3/4 Of my chickens are dead. RIP Peep, Zelda, and unnamed little black chick. :(
She scratched my dogs nose up pretty bad though, which doesn't surprise me. Even as a chick she would show agression. Not a roo, but she sure acted like one.
Long story short, either she got out or he got in...
My Buff Orpington chick will run over to me if I stick my hand in the brooder, jump up, fly a little bit, and peck at my elbow before just running away then trying again. Does anyone know why she might do that? I should also note they probably haven't been socialized properly, but I hate...
My two chicks are four weeks old, very unhappy in the small plastic bin they are currently in. I know they'd be much happier in the coop. They are also loud and stinky, and we'd be glad to have them outside. It's in the 60s to low 70s at night, higher durring the day. They've started getting all...
I've had my chicks one day now, and they didn't poop much yesterday, or really start eating until last night.This morning they've been pooping more. I picked them up to look, and it doesn't seem like there's pasty butt, but it looks like there's a little but stuck on the bottom of theyre...
They're about 2-3 days old, im guessing, since USPS took 2 days. 1 didn't make it, but the remaining three are doing great. How often should I check on them? I keep getting up every tie I hear them peep... actuay now theyre being too quiet witch makes me worried... Im gonna go check on them for...
My four baby chicks from mypetchicken.com have arrived! Yay! Three of them are doing great, but my barred rock is very weak. She feels warm enough and theres no pasty butt issues, but she can't stand and won't eat. She will drink if I hold him up to the water. What can I do to help her...
I orderedfour baby chiks from there, and we got an email around 10 am today that they have been shipped. (Express shipping) Any idea when they might arrive? Also, if they do arrive tommorow my mom won't be able to pick them up until at least 3. She doesn't see this as a problem, but I don't like...
We're starting our first flock soon :D so excited! Anyways, we want a few different breeds, and we were thinking of a combo of an Americano (sorry spelling) a Buff Orpington, a Barred Rock and a Speckled Sussex. What do you think of that combination?
I would really love to have a few backyard chickens, and I've been talking to my mom about it. We've done or research, we did check that they are legal, we do have room and have a coop in mind, we would get 3 or 4 barred rock hens from chicks. We talked about the noise and the smell, discussed...
