We bought two chicks from a local feedstore 5 months ago. They are both sex-linked. One is a black sex-linked and the other is a red sex-linked. The red-sex linked, which we call Purple, has begun to lay eggs. They all have hard shells and are quite delicious. The only qualm is that they are...

I will post some pictures soon. The chicken in question does not crow and is a bit more than four months old. It makes a bawk or a loud coo sound, which my hen makes too. (I know the hen is a hen since she has started laying eggs.) This chicken makes the noises at a far louder sound though. I...

Hi, my grandmother lives in Hopewell, NJ and she has started to keep chickens with my recommendation. According to Hopewell, a half acre lot allows you to own up to 6 hens. She bought 3 chickens, like me, and has been keeping them. They are 4 months old and today her neighbor told her she had to...

http://hencam.com/faq/do-chickens-transmit-diseases-to-people-%3F Well, it says here: "Wild waterfowl are the main vector and so it’s prudent to keep your chickens away from ponds and other areas that migratory birds congregate." This is about H5N2. Well, I have a little stream in my...

So I went to a feedstore and bought 3 chicks. The first two look identical to what their breed is. (They are a week and a half old) However, the last chick looked like a buff orpington, and they told me it was a "buff" (They just said buff and the chick lookedlike a buff orpington so i thought...

My brother and I received the equal amount of chicks, which is two each. My mother wants to teach my brother responsibility and is adamant on having my brother take care of two chicks. I got my two for fun. Is it too much to ask for our own two chicks to respond to only us? So far they are 5...

These are my first chicks so I can't tell if it's normal behavior or not. (They're 3 days old.) They peck each other a bit, such as taking wood chips off the other one's back, or sometimes they peck the other one's toes. I've seen a bit of eye pecking, which one of the chicks tries to peck the...

I got her yesterday, she is 3 days old as of today. Out of the three, she is the only one that is sitting down and closing her eyes, like she is trying to sleep. The other two, when I try to pick them up to check if they're healthy, they always try to run away, but this one, it's a buff...

I wanted to get one of each from these three types: -Speckled Sussex -Barred Rock -Australorpe Would you think they will fight much? It is only three chickens, but my neighbors want zero squabble. I know they're pretty docile, well, at least the Australorpe is, but in general, mixing three...

When I mean neighborhood, I mean houses that are only 30 feet away from each other. Maybe a bit less, even. I got some chicks a week ago, only four because that's the max that's allowed in my town. I've been debating on letting them out to roam when I'm home. One side has a five foot tall...

Well, something like that. When my family gets our chicks from the feed store, my brother and I will be taking care of the chicks. I'm the older sibling, he's 10, so I expect to do most of the work. However, my mother is adamant on splitting the work between us. I get two chicks and he gets the...

Hi, this is my first post and I'm a newbie so sorry if I post in the wrong place. But my question is: should I let my chickens free range with these conditions? My house has a stream in the back which has grasshoppers and dragonflies in the summer. There are trees, but also thorny bushes. I...
