I have one tolbunt. All of my girls are about 11 or 12 weeks old now. I taught all of them to use the ladder to go down into the run, and to tuck themselves in at night time by climbing up it, and we are working on learning to roost, but for some reason they prefer to lay by the opening that...

I have 8 week old chicks that are still inside (crazy, I know). Due to life happening, we won't have our coop fully finished until one day this week. Cleaning dust everyday has become a little much, so I was trying to find a way to eliminate it a little bit. I found myself staring at the...

so I went to get my girls some grower. The store where I buy their feed said on the chick starter instructions to only feed the chick starter through the first 8 weeks. I bought their organic grower feed, and low and behold, it is in pellet form. Is this okay to feed to my 8 week old girls? Is...

I have 9 chicks that are just about 8 weeks old. I went to the IFA today to get them some grower feed, and the lady working there told me that they are out of grower and not sure when they will get any in stock. She showed me the 16% layer mash and told me it would be okay to feed it to them...

I know they may be too young to sex, but I would really appreciate guesses. The first bird appears to have a bigger comb, and is over all larger in size that the second one. Let me know what you think :) This is #1 (Alma) who I am guessing could be a rooster. #1 #1...

BLUE BERRIES! It's like crack for chickens...mine anyways :) I've tried giving them so many different things, and they don't really care so much, but now, they make those berries disappear before my eyes. They chase each other, try to hide from each other to hurry and gulp it down, and even...

Without the heat lamp! Okay, okay, that may not be considered a huge feat, however as a first time chick mom who likes her house to be air conditioned to the point it would make a lot of people uncomfortable, I am happy about this. They've needed the heat lamp to keep them happy in the...

3 of my (hopefully girls) are silkies. We got them at the same time from Murray Mcmurray. They are the same age. The black one was the TINIEST LITTLE THING when we first got them. Smaller than all of the others. Now, pearl (the black one) is just a tiny bit behind Alma who is bigger than pearl...

Its not quite done yet, but thanks to an awesome family member, our coop is almost done! Just need a few finishing touches on the coop itself, and then add the run! The roof has since been covered and shingled (almost all of the way) The wire needs to be stapled down, and maybe a lower...

#1 #2 ....any guesses?

hello, I have 9 chicks that are 5 weeks old. The coop is going to be finished on Monday. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and its finally starting to warm up here. We are in the 70s during the day and 50s at night. It has been raining a lot but is supposed to stop. All of my chicks are pretty...

Hello! I have 2 tolbunt polish babies in our flock, and they have some differences that lead me to believe that one of them could be a roo. I'm sure it's too early to tell, but any hunches our guesses would be appreciated! Here is the one I think may be a roo based off of my online searching ...

I have 9 chicks. 3 of them are silkies, and all of them are the same age. They are 4 weeks old, and growing like weeds, except for one of my silkies. It looks like it is still only a couple of days old. All of my silkies were much smaller than my other chicks when I first got them, but now one...

Does anybody in Holladay have roosters? The ordinance "does not prohibit" roosters according to this site, and the information on the city of Holladay website is vague also. I have chicks (I got my permit), but I didn't think I would possibly end up with a rooster, and Now that I know it is...

I know there are other threads on this...but I don't want to prevent anyone else from getting their inquiry answered, so I'm making a knew thread. I'm assuming it's way too early to tell, but one of my chicks kind of stands out to me and every time I look at him/her, I think "rooster". Any...

Hi, I'm a first time chick owner as of 3.5 weeks ago. I posted a thread with a question I have on the "raising baby chicks" forum. I have 9 chicks. I have 3 silkies, 2 white crested polish, 2 tolbunt, 1 cream legbar, and one all white polish.

I'm new to this website,so I'm not sure if there is a thread on this already or not... I have 9 chicks that are 3.5 weeks old. They are in a large dog kennel lined with cardboard. I have their heat lamp hanging/clamped on the inside of the crate. The first week it was hanging a little lower...
